When I opened it on the XP desktop, it asked me where I wanted it unzipped to.
I said the C drive.
Mistake--- as it said I didn't belong in there and it was smart enough to stop me from going in there.
I went back to the desktop zip file and this time, unzipped it to the desktop.
Looks like I successfully upgraded both SP1 and SP2 which came along in the zip file and it told me to "Finish" and then it re-started the computer for me.
Now that it's re-booted, I checked the System Properties and it shows Microsoft Windows XP home Edition Version 2002, but doesn't show that SP1&2 are on there.
How can I check to see if the Service Packs are on the computer before trying to add that SP3 file again?
