sp3 for Office XP

I

It's Only me

I've just spent 5 hours downloading this sp3 and when I go to install it, it
keeps coming up with errors in the config.msi tmp files. One or two I can
ignore, but then it comes to a complete standstill and I have to cancel the
installation. Any ideas how I can get the damn thing to update properly.

Thanks in advance.

5 hours! Your computer must be as slow as mine!

First, if you want to keep a working copy of the update, you should
look for a computer magazine that has a CD attached to it, such as
Microsoft Windows XP Magazine and find the update on that.

Secondly, for some reason, whenever I have tried to save an update
from the update site, it has never worked when I have tried to install it.
I think they make it that way.

If you just want to install it and get it working, then go back to the
update website and this time, click on "Open" instead of "Save to disk".
That should make it work--and take a lot less time!
