I'd install it now. I have and have had no problems at all. I can't even tell I've installed it.

Is SP3 avaliable with 64 bit versions of XP?

Google says...

Service Pack 3 (SP3) for Windows XP will not be compatible with Windows XP x64 Edition, and Microsoft has not announced any plans for another service pack for XP Professional x64 Edition.[19]

Whoops! Thanks

I've installed it, and the only reason i know i've installed it is because my themes have been removed! Otherwise, meh!

I still haven't been notified by auto update that this is available.

Sorry.

I think the auto-update release comes later. It's on Windows Update now and then Automatic Updates later on.

According to Windows Update, SP3 is installed and yet when I right click My Computer, it still says that I'm on SP2, anyone else finding this?

I installed this on my four xp SP2 machines lasy night & all now experience strange error messages. One when I try to run a disk defrag & the other when I right-click My Computer then Manage.

The install on my work PC was fine
