Looks like its the same as the leaked service pack.

from what i can tell is its a RC ver..

How come in every SP3 thread (though this goes for previous service packs as well) there is a debate about whether the file is the RTM version or not, the filesize and checksums are known - check them and get your answer - jesus it it's not that hard for fracks sake :rolleyes:

And how can you tell its a RC???? Did you download the file and check it out? No You just read some text that hasn't been updated yet to reflect the RTM version. Man I just love it when people jump to conclusions without verifying anything.

Liez! It's not there. Keep in mind if you see it, not everyone will.

Also, just a reminder, SP3 will officially be released to the download center on Tuesday April 29

With the file, there is a KB number, he searched on MS's site and came up with the RC page. He verified something, looks like you jumped to conclusions too fast :p

Well I just checked it and they both match. I got my SP3 directly from the Technet SP3 Install CD.

Screenshot of the Windows Update SP3 RTM 5512 Slipstreamed Install

I have installed it (after a fresh format) and all ok so far. Only a couple of updates on WU and nothing else!

By the way i've installed IE7 after the SP3 and the latest cumulative update for IE is not showing up on WU.

And i just installed IE7 without the option to download and install the latest updates for it. Strange. :huh:

Also another thing that i was waiting for SP3 to fix, is that after a couple of reboots many icons on the taskbar

starting to disappear. Icons Like AVG 8.0, Getright, Sound (speaker icon), nVidia icon. There are only a couple of icons showing

and the rest that are not, are working in the background. For example if i run GetRight again the main program's window comes up and the icon appears again on the taskbar.

OK, after a lot of searching i found that the cause for this is the uPnP discovery that i had enabled in "My Network Places".

After disabling it, all my icons on tray, are now visible again. I've tried on 3 PCs so far and it worked.

This is a good article about this -> http://winhlp.com/node/16

Bad girl, uPNP service, Bad girl... :D

Has anyone who has installed the RTM of SP3 had any issues?

I've installed it on two machines now with zero issues whatsoever.

A friend of mine says it wrecked her XP install and she had to run OEM recovery thingy. Shes the first person I've heard of having any issues at all with it, I don't know what the heck she did, shes not that tech savvy. I think, maybe she thought it was frozen after it rebooted for the first time, and takes a few minutes doing some post install stuff before it fully finishes booting the first time after, her PC is kind of slow and I can image it sat there doing it for 5 minutes or more. I'm thinking maybe she just hard shut down the PC then, and it put it into a loop, she says it went to diagnostic boot screen everytime, and wouldn't go into Safe Mode either. I probly could have helped her fix it but she just went ahead and ran the OEM recovery thingy before even calling me. ...shrugs shoulders... I don't know what the heck she did.

Was looking this up and used findfiles.com and another dl is on the download.windowsupdate.com website. Different name though windowsxp-kb936929-sp3-x86-enu_9afedbd6b2941bf568c27046d6688e6ccb5ce018.exe. Look here to see. Wonder what the difference is

http://www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdo...e6ccb5ce018.exe

I tried this one a while ago and it is certainly not RTM. The Digital Signature is from February so I didn't even bother installing it. SHA-1 didnt match the others either.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
