I'm running WinXP Home SP2. I purchased the SP3 CD from Microsoft and it
arrived today. I have a few questions:
1. The label on the CD envelope reads "Windows XP Professional SP3
English." The CD says only "Windows XP Service Pack 3 Not For Resale." Is
this the SP3 I need -- is there any difference between the Home and Pro SP3?
2. What will SP3 do for me? My system has proven to be quite stable -- I
have no issues with it other than an occasional stupid operator error, and,
I use my computer only for simple tasks -- 'net surfing, email, word
processing, an occasional spreadsheet, genealogy files, save photos from my
digital camera, and the like.
3. If I set a system restore point before installing, can I go back to that
point or will SP3 wipe out previous system restore points?
Thanks.
