| Re: SP3 won't install from automatuc update Hello, Have you tried to download the stand alone and install it? Have you updated every driver you can then see if it will install? Cheers, Mak

| Re: SP3 won't install from automatuc update I downloaded one standalone which was for I.T professionals net install, but i doubt that was corect as it would get an error whilst extracting the files. Is there another one which can be downloaded ?

| Re: SP3 won't install from automatuc update back up all your stuff, do a fresh install. sp3 is best installed (along with all service packs) from a fresh install.
