My Xp home SP2 does not want to be upgraded to SP3

go to this link http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24 download winxp sp3 exe follow instructions disregard for IT professionals and developers this is the download you need after installing goto windows update and download and install updates

From the description, the laptop will only support SP2 the only suggestion I can offer is format the hard drive and reload your original disc to get the front controls back.

upgrade to XP SP3, SP2 does not have support from microsoft, discontinued. you can get the sp3 upgrade from microsoft upgrades.

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!!

sp3 is an essential download,yes you should get it .its bugs have been worked out.its also critaical to keep your pc safe from hackers and such.Shouldnt have a problem with it,but even if u did just uninstall it..

your game requirement says the minimum requirement is SP2 but recomemded SP3, your game still runs in SP2

It is a virus related to a security problem. Update to service pack 3 and dowwnload all updates as the first thing to do after installling windows, or an updated service pack 2.. 

Another link for a service pack 2 upgrade: Hope this helps. http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/updatepack-sp2.html

Unfortunately you cannot "Uninstall an Upgrade" - Do you refer "Upgrade to SP2/ SP3 or WIN98 or WIN2000 to WIN XP? Please clarify? Regardless - you will have to reformat your PC and purchase a new license key as you have used the one on another PC or you should void the license on that PC and use it on the original PC.
In short unless you do not use the license key or purchase a new one, your PC will not log-in after 30 days and you will then have to activate again using telephonic assitance (if you modem and internet connection were no configured before the end of you activation period. There is now Un-install function. Sorry.
