the file saves as a text document when right click and save file as. if not then it just opens up a new window with some registry blabber

(view certificate) how can i resolve this error?

@Imtiaz Latif

check your motherboard's battery, it should help.

The hack to obtain SP3 for XP was developed well in advance of
Microsoft posting it on their website. The author did some justice
by making it available for us peeons and stitching up our OS
vulnerabilities early. It worked well for me and I appreciate the effort and concern. In many cases I support monetarily these
efforts. But I am a happier camper now that I have decided to migrate to various flavours of LINUX.

i got sp3 for free without hacks so i have no idea what you are doing. they have it as a free download on the microsoft website. i cannot believe how people are really quick to hack these days.

Good Day,
I am using windows XP Professional with SP3. I am facing a problem from last few days; my system date is automatically changed to 2002. Can anyone please help me to solve this problem?

Regards,

Imtiaz Latif

tHIS IS TOO MUCH BUT I AM HAPPY ITS WORKING SO GOOD

Works like a charm!!! thank you

I installed service pack 3 normally, If I rolled back the update and did this would it work?

oh really nice tip.

i haven't upgraded yet out of nothing but sheer laziness and because of the fact that i simply gave up on microsoft and lost interest.. i'll give this a shot.

awesome... works amazing. thnx alot.

How to download Windows SP3 To Windows XP Pirated

Does anyone know a patch for sp2 so it will install sp3 update. I have already downloaded it successfully using Windows_Genuine_by_Nawzi which works a treat to overide wga updater online. But I need a patch to qualify the license key check which is contained in the sp3 install/package. This happens once it is downloaded and run. Once it identifies it is not genuine it stops the instilationl. cheers....

:( i dont know how u guys made it work, but for me i did download the file and then open it "but its seems that the windows advatage tool is making the problem" i could't see the update otherwise when i click on my Windows Registry Editor Version 5 file it does but an error accures when the instalation reaches 'validating keys' "
can anyone help!!!!

thanks you very much

tx good

Why not just download it from www.softwarepatch.com . Anyhow I got Acces Denied during installation. Thinks it's got anything to do with me not being connected when I ran the update?

Needed to uninstall Norton 360, install SP3 and then reinstall Norton 360. Otherwise SP3 will hang during installation.

worked perfectly! thankyou sooooo much for this! hope this fixes some issues iv been having.

thank you for this dowload

Will this hack work in other languages ??

Thank You

this is fast, but be patience installing it as at times it seams to lock up the system just let it do its biz and job done. And if you use a torrend downloader reinstall it afterwords and it should work fine. My system is a lot faster after this download.

does anybody knows if I can use this 'hack' in a non-english distribution of the sp2?

That hack now aviable in www.micrsoft.com (find sp3 in download list and download smalest file (you can choise download all file, however)

Those who have tried to do this should read the contents of SP3 BEFORE they start fooling around.

I googled "xp sp3" and the first link was to a Microsoft site that explains the contents of the SP.

It applies mainly to Network Administrators who have to deal with Vista on the same network as XP.

I'd forget about it, even after it becomes public

WARNING!!! Be Aware of XP SP3 RTM!!!

Who thinks Microsoft is introducing out of the kindness of their good hearts, a new feature which I'm sure everyone wanted in XP SP3? It's called "Network Access Protection". Which Microsoft claims it basically enforces compliance with system health requirements.

What that means is in that NAP can deny network access, until you install Microsoft's own proprietary draconian stipulations source code which the public isn't allowed to review. Who wants Windows to tell Microsoft what networks your trying to gain access, unless for national security interests by the NSA, CIA or FBI? As if already having all communications spied upon, wasn't enough?

This is just another attempt of Microsoft's strategy to extend, embrace, and then extinguish all other competition. All Microsoft needs is just some excuse to show how their networks are better protected using NAP than those who don't use NAP. Then, everyone ends up installing their dependent monthly security patches. Haven't you noticed that it's become easy for Microsoft like others to run hash checksum values of your files and then take appropriate action, to report back or by claiming the file was a threat. Anyone finding the so called glitch would just hear, that the software which had accidentally corrupted your data/files or had accidentally deleted the offending data/files, was indeed just a bug. Denial from Microsoft will be the first response here, etc...

The point I'm trying to make known, is to remind everyone NOT to become dependent upon Microsoft. Especially, when Microsoft has been convicted, with it's long history of antitrust violations, for monopolistic business practices. Microsoft has frequently sought to establish proprietary monopolies--and then leverage its dominance into new, adjacent markets. There is no win-win situation here other than for Microsoft's own short sighted economic benefits.

Let me remind everyone, Microsoft’s strategy has been focused upon entering product categories involving widely used standards, extending those standards with proprietary capabilities, and then using those differences to disadvantage its competitors.

Another marketing strategy of Microsoft is a sale of Fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) tactic! In addition, Microsoft creates the environment in which networks of social fanboyism employees and followers utterly devoted with obsessions work actively behind the scenes to orchestrate "independent" praises of their technology. While at the same time are bashing any perceived threats, competition or anything that prevents their dominance. If all the above doesn't work, Microsoft has a habit of killing off competitors by either buying them or their technologies.

And let's NOT forget how Bill Gates obtained a cloned design of Gary Kildall's CP/M, QDOS, from Tim Paterson of Seattle Computer products and MSDOS/IBMDOS was born.

Did you realize 486's are still usable machines if you're running something other than Microsoft's latest software?

And who wants their XP operating system to be turned into Vista DRMed machine by installing Vista like code which could lead to your computer being disabled?

What are the benefits of applying XP SP3? No real new features, only a whole lot of patches... Is this anything to get excited about?

Ditto as the polish guy, my XP in spanish is not pickng up SP3.
too bad :D

Hi, I ended up on this site while trying to find a release date for SP3. I probably won't end up here again, so don't bother responding to this message.
Anyway, I feel really sorry for a lot of the people who have posted here. Why were you so eager to install a release candidate of the service pack on your machines. If there are changes to the public release of SP3 (most likely), you probably won't be able to install them. I wouldn't be surprised if your xp installation stops updating automatically in the future. Congratulations, you are now running a non-finished version of the operating system and you will probably need to re-install windows.
RC and beta releases are meant for beta testers and system designers, who need to test the compatibility of their company's applications. These releases are not meant for everyone. When the release is ready for the public, Microsoft will release it to the public.
... You poor souls.

I'm curious, if we have the newest beta version via the hack does that mean we can't receive normal updates any longer? For example I haven't seen anything on the windows update site for quite some time. I know that RC2 is available to the public but do we reverse the hack to resume normal windows updates?

Good tip// I even have SP3 installed .. but could you please tell me what are the additional features of SP3 ... please mail me if anyone has any thing about SP3 @ this address :
techguru ( a t ) gmail ( . c o m )

this help?

Install routine worked flawlessly on a home build with WinXP OEM SP2. Biostar mainboard the basis of the contraption. What it does
for me only M$ will know.

Have to point out launching a .cmd string is risky business that's why
we need SP3 in the first place. Can anyone say " L-I-N-U-X " - always
cloak yourself in protection. Be safe Stay safe.

Works Great !!!
Also Suck My Dick ..
KOSOVO IS SERBIA

My pc froze during the installation and now it can start up anymore!!
