Problems Iinstalling Windows XP SP3

Posted on September 30th, 2008 in System Settings by admin

Many people are having trouble trying to install service pack 3 (sp3) on their XP machines, there are a few main problems why this could be happening;

  • Error messages
  • Installation going backwards
  • Not enough room on your hard disk

Firstly to try and fix this so you can install sp3 you should try and clean up your hard disk to allow more room for the installation (sp3 takes up more than a gigabyte of room), or alternatively you can upgrade to a bigger hard disk.

Another method people are using is to re-install windows xp then to install sp3, this method does work but can be time consuming.

Finally what some people are doing is just to not upgrade to sp3, but you have to take the risks with this option.
