Service Pack 3

Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) build 5512 was released to manufacturing on April 21, 2008, and Microsoft planned to make it available to the general public on April 29, 2008 via Windows Update and the Microsoft Download Center. However, due to a compatibility issue with Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System, the release of Windows XP Service Pack 3 was delayed. A feature set overview has been posted by Microsoft and details new features available separately as standalone updates to Windows XP, as well as features backported from Windows Vista, such as black hole router detection, Network

Access Protection, and Windows Imaging Component. Microsoft is reporting that over 1,000 fixes have been packed into SP3 along with some performance improvements as well. Internet Explorer 7 is not included as part of SP3.

New features :
- Black hole router detection
- Network Access Protection
- Credentials security service provider
- Descriptive security options control panel
- Enhanced security for Administrator and Service policy entries
- Microsoft Kernel Mode Cryptographic Module
- Installing without needing a Product Key during Setup

Microsoft noted SP3 can be installed on systems with Internet Explorer version 6 as well as version 7; and similarly Windows Media Player 9 Series or Windows Media Player versions 10 or 11. Although service packs have, until now, been cumulative, installing Windows XP Service Pack 3 requires that the PC must at least be running Windows XP with Service Pack 1 installed. However, it is possible to slipstream SP3 into the Windows XP setup files at any service pack level including the original RTM version without any errors or issues. Slipstreaming into Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 is not supported.

SP3 does contain operating system component updates for Windows XP Media Center Edition and for Windows XP Tablet PC Edition including security updates for .NET Framework versions 1.0 and 1.1 which are included in these Windows XP SKUs. However it does not include update rollups for the Windows Media Center app. in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. It also omits Windows Media Player 10

security updates although Windows Media Player 10 is included in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.
There are a total of 1,073 fixes in Service Pack 3.
The Service Pack 3 RTM is integrated by Microsoft itself.

How to Install SP3 only (in case you actually own an SP3 update CD, wow):

1.Reboot the computer (This is the operating system equivalent of starting the day with a good breakfast.)
2.The computer must be on AC Power: SP3 will not install on systems powered solely by batteries.
3.Download SP3 from Microsoft's Windows Update (You can skip this time-consuming step if you install SP3 from a CD)
4.Disconnect the network
5.Shut down your software firewall
6.Disable your antivirus program and any other utility that continuously monitors your system
7.The installation of SP3 is a major event in the life of your operating system, so make sure that no applications are running during the installation. Do not interrupt or interfere with the installation.
8.Install Service Pack 3
9.Reboot twice and confirm that your previously-disabled programs are working (you may think this is one reboot too many)
10.Connect to the network
11.Rerun Windows Update (to verify that all of the high-priority updates have been installed)
12.Download and install any remaining high-priority updates (if applicable)
13.Reboot
14.Defragment the hard drive, make a system restore point!!!

Scanned with BT2009 latest update, however, some AVs will detect keygens,patches etc as a trojan generic, which is not really correct.
