Windows Forum / Windows XP / Security and Administration / May 2008SP3 CD
i ordered the SP3 CD for my WinXPsp2 Home Edition. I received the CD on Saturday and Service Pace 3. However, the outside envelope has a white sticker on the back-side which reads: "Windows XP Professional XP3 Enlish. Made in Puerto Rico." Will this CD work with my WinXPsp2 Home Edition, when it reads "Windows XP Professional SP3 Englsih?" Or did MS make a mistake and send me the wrong CD? Puerto Rico is part of the United States. The easiest way to check it to put the CD in your CD drive and see if the readme's, etc are in English or Spanish (I suspect English). >i ordered the SP3 CD for my WinXPsp2 Home Edition. > I received the CD on Saturday and Service Pace 3.

So, even though the package has "Windows XP 'PROFESSIONAL' - it will wok with my Windows XP "HOME EDITION?" I am just confused about the PROFESSIONAL being listed when I told them I had the HOME EDITION. =================== > >i ordered the SP3 CD for my WinXPsp2 Home Edition. > > I received the CD on Saturday and Service Pace 3.

There's just one version. You have it. Install it. > i ordered the SP3 CD for my WinXPsp2 Home Edition. > I received the CD on Saturday and Service Pace 3.

There is only one SP3 for Windows XP (Home, Professional, Media Center, TabletPC...) - so you have the right CD *if* you got it from Microsoft.
