Thanks, but that's the problem. Windows Updates didn't send the hotfixes that were issued between SP3 and today. Belarc is only saying that...
After I got the BSOD, I had to restore my computer: reinstall WinXP, programs, data, the whole nine yards. Because my restoration CD didn’t have...
Problem solved; thread closed. Worked like a charm. Thanks!
After I got the BSOD, I had to restore my Dell computer using the Dell WinXP reinstallation CD. While doing so, I was asked to select an...
Thanks, to you and Wildfire, for all your help. I was able to download the .exe version, installed it, and all is fine now. But I still hate IE. :D
When I go to that link, I find this: xpsp3_5512.080413-2113_usa_x86fre_spcd.iso but it says not to download it for just 1 computer, that...
Thanks, will do. I always use FF; I hate IE. Unfortunately, to download from MS they make you use IE. I tried with FF but keep getting the MS...

Thanks. Looks like it's time to check ebay for a used computer w/legal WinXP.
I have an HP Vectra that until recently was running WinXP Pro. The Microsoft/HP COA, with 2 product keys, is pasted on the case, but I don’t have...
Yeah, I have a feeling it's messed up. I'll just try to live with it until it's "safe" to reinstall System Restore. Thanks.
Thanks for re-subjecting my post. When I did the restoration, I had 60 days worth of restore points. I restored to about a week prior, and...
I always thought that when you restore to a prior date, you lose the restore points that were created AFTER that date. I recently did a restore,...
Thank you very much. I like option 2, particularly since the only file on the CD is the one I downloaded:...
Again, forgive my ignorance; this is all new to me. So, after backing up all important data, I uninstall SP3 from Add/Remove programs. Then what?...
To all who replied: There's obviously a difference of opinion here with regard to whether the cd I burned is the same as a store-bought sp3 cd....
