OK- S&F trying to understand this. Sp2 will no longer be supported, but SP3 will. How do I find out if I have sp2, or sp 3? And how do upgrade to sp3 if I don’t ? The article says it’s an easy upgrade, but it doesn’t say how to do it.

Thanks !!

If you have MS’s Automatic Updates running you should have gotten it already. If you have AU disabled or it isn’t working correctly you can manually download and install XP SP3 here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=68c48dad-bc34-40be-8d85-6bb4f56f5110&displaylang=en

It may require you to install some other components including the software piece that verifies that you have a genuine version of Win XP.

Installation takes ~45 minutes.
