Question about Windows Updates "sheana" <sheana[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> 10/10/2008 1:15:59 PM I checked in Control Panel, Add/Remove programs, and I have Service Pack 3, but I do not see Service Pack 2 or 1. Do I need to install the latter 2 Service Packs from the following link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322389/ I have Win XP Media Center Edition, and I have IE 6 and OE 6. Thanks in advance, sheana

SP3 contains everything that SP1a and SP2 did - cumulative. So if you have SP3 - you have SP1a & SP2 because they are part of SP3. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Re: Question about Windows Updates "JS" <[ at ]> 10/10/2008 1:48:31 PM Once Windows Updates installs Service Pack 3, you will no longer see Service Pack 2 listed in Add/Remove programs list. Even if you were to uninstall Service Pack 3, SP2 will not appear in the Add/Remove list. There is no need to install any earlier service pack (1 or 2).
