Two guesses: - You didn't get offered Microsoft Windows XP SP3 (you may have been offered SP3 for something - but maybe not for Windows XP.) Do you have Office 2003 or Office XP (2002)? Both of those products have SP3's and you would not be the first to have thought they were getting Windows XP SP3 when one of those two popped up. - You have the advanced option turned on for http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ that states... "Show beta products and related updates Microsoft Update can offer you pre-released "beta" versions of products as they become available. NOTE: Use beta software at your own risk; it is intended for testing and evaluation purposes only. Do not install beta software on your primary computer or production environment." However - I can pretty much negate the second option - it does not offer Windows XP SP3 AFAIK <- but I needed two things. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html >> Stay informed about: service pak 3

Do you have beta software turned on in Windows Update?

It took me just over an hour for the complete install on my XP2 Home with no errors. Everything now is working as it was. It even appears to have slightly increased the overall speed of the system although I have no way of proving that.

They did not"send it"to you..........unless you did something to make Windows Update see the SP3 RC2. I use Windows Update and I do not see any SP3 RC2. IF I run the script from Microsoft that allows Windows Update to"see"the SP3 then I would be able to download it IF I wanted. It's not there to see in windows update unless windows update settings are changed by you.
