There are enough dummies posting here that the question NEEDED to be
asked.

Thank you.

So whats the deal.
It went to install...archived all the old files, installed the new ones,
Then an ACCESS DENIED

Then had to uninstall all the new ones and reinstall the old one, so I
guess I don't get SP3 ??

Please contact MS for BETA questions, as you read and agreed to do...

How do you know he is in the beta? If he downloaded the public RC build he
didn't agree to do that.

I have installed XP SP3 and now my computer is slower than eve to boot
and everything else. I use a dual zeon board. Anyone has the same
experience?

This should be asked in the SP3 TechNet forums, not here.

Bear with me, PLEASE, since this is the first time I have used a MS
discussion board. I'm looking at all posts from February and see none from
March, so I picked yours, since it was the latest and you are using SP 3. I
installed Sp3 BETA back in January, after a HORRIBLE episode trying to use
iTunes. My comp crashed and I didn't have an SP2 CD to help me correct my
problems. I also noticed that 3 months of Win updates had also failed. I
forget where I saw the SP3 BETA update, BUT, not having the SP2 CD, I chose
the only option I had that wouldn't bitch me about a Product Key.
Since installing SP3 BETA, I havn't noticed any MAJOR problems and NO
slowdown of my comp. About the only thing I have noticed is that sometimes I
don't get all the icons I should have displayed by the clock, in regard to
the programs I am running. Other than that, everything has been fine since
January.
My major concern is about WIN XP Updates for security purposes and if
this BETA product is going to be made FINAL, since Micorsoft is planning on
killing the sale of XP in 3 months.
I hope some of my info has helped you. If you have any NEW info to
enlighten me, PLEASE, contact me.

If you installed SP3, you should have known that this is not a public
release. Its possible it has bugs. Thus its understandable that
things are not right. SP2 is the last SP release for PUBLIC use.
SP3 is only for qualified testors.
