”Updates are ready for your computer. Click here to download these updates. ” But don’t expect Windows XP to actually know how to install them. I’m stunned by yet another sloppy piece of work by Microsoft. This almost smacks of an intentional ploy on their part to say “well if you just go to Vista this wont be a problem.”
So, to sum up; Windows XP Service Pack 3, wont install unless you hack your into your registry. That’s the short of it.
