O.P. Windows update SP3
Hey, i originally asked about this in one of the other threads but i figured it might be easier to make a new one.

I have automatic updates turned on, on my XP computer, so it just automatically downloads updates.

However it keeps downloading the new windows service pack 3. After a lot of friends with bad experiences downloading it i dont want to instal it. I keep canceling the instal (as its the only way i can stop it telling me i have new updates waiting). However every time i cancel the instal, a minute later it starts to re-down load it and asks me to instal it.

Is there any way i can stop this one update but still have the others automatically downloaded as normal? Someone mentioned something about "Dont offer me this update again" but i cant find that anywhere unfortunatly so i cant set it.

Any help would be appreciated as this is really really slowing down my computer.

installing it will stop slowing down your computer.

Ok... but how do i get to that? Ive never used the update website before. Ive always had it automatically downloaded.

And im well aware instaling would stop the slow downs. But that isnt the point.

A lot of friends have been having trouble with it blue screening their laptops and stuff. Word of mouth. Im actually re-installing a clean version of windows within the next few months anyways.. when i get round to it, so i'll probably just download it then and put everything back on at once. Just makes it easier for me. My laptop is in a dodgy state lol.
