    XP SP3 download?

    Hi All,

    Can anyone advise me as to how to download the XP SP3 full version. I need to re-install XP on our 2 computers at home, and I was hoping to get the full version so that I don't have to spend hours downloading all the updates separately.

    I don't seem to be able to download it from the Microsoft web-site. Even though I seem to be on the correct page (Download details: Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers), no download button is visible !!

    This was an easy process with SP2 - so what am I doing wrong?

    Any info would be appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Lionel

    there are two packages available

    a 7 lang pack and the full lang pack

    both behave differently ime

    the latter is more reliable than the other.

    if you get stuck getting a direct link i can put it on a server for you.

    let me know ...

    Thanks for the offer, but it seems to be OK now. I downloaded another item, and now the SP3 "download" button has appeared! I can't begin to think what was wrong the first time I got to the page.

    Cheers,
