XP service pack 3 download problems

[Dave]

cannot get the SP3 to download. I get three possible
problems. destination drive not large enough (5G better
be large enough). Firewall preventing it (I haven't
installed firewall yet). Network problems.
Any ideas if Mircosoft is having problems sending SP3 out?
Any other ideas?

Hi

There is no SP3 for XP. Do you mean SP3 for Office? **Please install a
Firewall ASAP**.

Dave XP SP3 doesn't exist. SP2 beta is available but i wouldn't install it
until it is officially released sometime during the summer 2004.
There are still bugs with SP2 and, if installed on anything other than a
test scenario system, problems may occur.

Thanks, it was the Office SP3 that when it did the
diagnosis of my machine it was telling me I needed, and I
don't care about that one for now.
