(MoC) Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Microsoft Whiz led me on to a little tip to install SP3 like a MSDN suscriber. Steps: Run the batch file provided. Check WinUpdates Install I'm doing it right now, will update on progress (thx mw)!!!

~pcwiz Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I wouldn't be the first to try out a new MS service pack if I were you. Some service packs are notorious to cause problems so I'm gonna wait before I let SP3 touch my system.

DukeRaoul Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 i've been testing the new SP3 build 3244 (release candidate 1) it installed with no problems, just took a while now xp definately seems faster - everything generally seems more responsive it looks the same, and I don't see any of the Vista-like features people mentioned Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/74522-sp3-for-xp-reg-hack/#findComment-526863 Share on other sites More sharing options...

~pcwiz Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Well I'm going to wait for the final release. I don't like trying betas especially something as big as this.

(MoC) Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 That's true (pcwiz), but speed has improved in the new pack as well as the new uxtheme.dll which I busted my ass to patch!

Forceman Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 That's true (pcwiz), but speed has improved in the new pack as well as the new uxtheme.dll which I busted my ass to patch! Hack worked great, I downloaded the uxtheme.dll for SP3 and replaced it, I can't use any window styles, any idea?

Azurael Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Hang on, so they've made XP faster in SP3? That's not good with the news that Vista SP1 is going to be a security/feature optimisation release rather than one targeted at performance, considering the difference in performance between XP and Vista now!
