For the people that didn't want to download the leaked service pack from other sources, now you can download it directly from Microsoft. This is the full 316 meg file. It's on the Windows Update servers but I don't think it's available via windows update yet.

Looks like its the same as the leaked service pack.

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.

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.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
