I am now greeted by this prompt every time I boot up. Even if I don't allow it to install it is waiting for me next time.
Is there any reason for me to not want want it to install or if there is can you tell me a way to prevent the prompt. Many thanks.
 
Thanks for the answers.Because I have a glitch on my PC which prevents the "restore pont" facility. I would rather not install SP3.
Can anyone please tell me how I can access windows update and tell it that I do not want to be notified again about SP3 but would want other security updates.
 
No, my copy of XP Home is pukka. The thing is I have always had a problem for the last 4 years where I cannot boot into DOS or go back with a restore point.
My machine works 100% apart from that and would rather not take a chance on SP3 in case. I also would not want to re-install either.
In a perfect world I would just like it the way it is with auto updates without SP3.
Unfortunately as you guys have said I can't have one without the other.
For the time being, I shall therefor turn off auto updates and hope for the best.
