My problem is very basic. I would like to upgrade to XP SP3. I find it easier just to reformat my hard drive. So i was thinking of slipstreaming SP3 into an existing SP2 CD. Then i found that microsoft were linking to iso that contained SP3. My problem: Firstly im not sure whether to get retail, VOL, or the other (if there was another) My Prdouct - ID ( think it would kinda stupid to give my license key) is - 55274-640-8365391-***** My computer is Xp Pro My questions: 1) Which ISO should i download. Retail or volume or what. 2) Does SP3 include IE7 and WMP11 or will i have to slipstream them.
you can download service pack 3 which i recommend to do be cause windows update has been messing up peoples xp installations. No wmp11 and internet explorer 7 is not included No no activation patches at all because service pack 3 will disable them So just build a new disk it will be better
