Ok Harry here this is the rule of thumb from the digital goddess herself, No 
I am not the digital goddess.

if you have automatic updates turned on sense service pack two came out 
there is not much new in service pack three. So there is not much need too 
move to 3.

Subject: [VICUG-L] windows xp service pack 3 question


: Hi all,
: I'm running windows xp service pack 2 and windows xp home edition on an 
asus laptop computer, running jaws for windows 9.0.
: I get a message that windows wants to install xp service pack 3.  Does 
anyone have it on your machine, and after you installed it, did it screw up 
any programs on your computer?  I didn't download it because I'm leary of 
sp3, for that reason.
: If it didn't goof up your computer, then I'll install it.
: By the way, since I know I'm not the only one with this concern, do not 
send your replies to me, send them to the list, so all can read.
: Harry
