Last year we upgraded a Sony desktop to XP SP3. Pretty much a nightmare. MS, Trend Micro, and Qwest all thought it was someone else's problem. We could not access the Internet. Finally, one of those support people walked us through reverting back to SP2. The machine is a dog now and has weird issues. Now, I have a new Acer veriton L460 which insists it needs XP Pro SP3. Trend's scans are telling me I have critical updates that must be done for vulnerability issues. Will SP3 cover all of these issues? Will I be dead in the water if I do upgrade to SP3? Thanks Here are a few: Vulnerability in ASP.NET Could Allow Information Disclosure Vulnerability in DHCP Client Service Could Allow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in DNS Resolution Could Allow Remote Code Execution (920683) Vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows Hyperlink Object Library Could Allow Remote Code Execution (920670)

The latest service pake for XP is SP3, you can download and install it by performing a Microsoft Update by clicking on the the start menu and above where it says "All Programs" look for Windows/Microsoft Update.
Once SP3 is installed i recommend you perform another MS update to update SP3.
Well if you have it installed on the computer and cant get past the Windows logo. Put the SP3 disk in and do a repair. Make sure you hit -R and not the repair button after clicking continue. Well the directions for a repair will be on the screen. That is my thoughts on what you should do. If you have already done this, then I'm not sure where you should head to next. Hope this helps!!
1. go to http://esupport.trendmicro.com/Pages/How-do-I-remove-old-or-new-versions-of-Trend-Micro-products-in-my-comp.aspx and follow the instructions on how to remove the software.
2. upgrade to 2009 if your computer meets the minimum system requirements. use the same serial number and account information when prompted.
Without the disk you cannot upgrade to Windows XP Pro, because both Windows XP Home and Windows XP Professional are two different edition / version.
So if you want to upgrade your current operating system from Windows XP Home then you have to spend money to buy Windows XP Pro
But if you want to upgrade the Service Pack then you can very well do it.
Click the link below to download Windows XP SP3 for your edition and install it. Before installing it make sure you have turned off your security programs or better install it from the SafeMode
