Could not install windows service pack 3 I tried TWICE to upgrade to Service Pack 3, from Service Pack 2....The first time, it took over 4 hours! And after that, a couple "error" messages, then NOTHING. Could not download the program. Thought I would try again today...Same thing! Only it just took about 2 hours this time! Then nothing! Could not install! I still have Service Pack 2, & will stick with it. Too much trouble, and the reviews have NOTHING nice to say about the Service Pack 3! At least I didn't have the installation problems every one else is having!... Download at your own risk!
