service pack 3

is there a service pack 3 for windows ME, I get that message when I try to
plug in a MP4 video player.

There are no service packs at all for Windows ME. Are you sure you are
running ME?

Service packs are cumulative. Therefore they could have just XP Gold or XP SP1 and go
directly to SP3.

Yeah, I gotcha, David.....I'm just in a habit of putting XP SP2 down. I
knew that, but, thanks for the clarification....it could have been confusing
to others.

Is that always the case? I admit I haven't tried installing XP SP3 on a
system not already at SP2 but thought that some MS Office service packs
have not been cumulative but have instead needed to be applied
sequentially. I know that has been the case for Corel's WordPerfect and
Draw and thought that I remembered MS Office as having been similar.
Given the size of XP SP3 I guess it had to be cumulative. vbg

For a NT Based OS it is true.

However, for such products as MS Office, it is NOT true and you have to install each SP in
order.

Other products such as Adobe Acrobat this is also true, you have to install each SP in
order.

Is WinXP SP3 out ?

I know, after the SP3 install, it isn't good if you don't put your 'key' in
before the 30 days is up. What I read made it sound as if your computer
could become a paper weight.

That hasn't been my experience although admittedly I have only run been
running the public RC for a short while however I have been and am still
running the previous beta SP3 on one PC for over 3 months and have never
got asked to re-enter my product key.
