is the link to the WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe executable that
you can store on a cd and can run later. I suggest you copy to the HD
then run.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...splaylang=enis
the link to the ISO image that you burn a CD with.


xpsp3_5512.080413-2113_usa_x86fre_spcd.iso seems to be what you have.
If you burned it as an ISO and not just wrote it to a cd then you are on
track. Just put in the cd and in the root folder you will find the SP3
executable: WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe that you want to copy to
the HD and run.

The reason I say copy to the HD is that when I tried last week to update
my 3rd PC for the CD rom F:, it wanted to expand the exe to an F:\ temp
folder. And of course you can't write to a CD rom. So I finally
copied it to C: and then removed the CD and ran the exe. It extracted
to C:\ now. And worked too.

But I can't open the file when i click on it in the CD. Should I extract it
first.

The file you downloaded is an "ISO" file.
You don't put this file on a CD.
You put in on your hard drive and when you click on it, it should open your CD burning program and
make an installation CD.
By the way, the Windows XP burning software will not work.
You will need a 3rd party burning software that works with ISO files.

Download the SP3 file and forget the ISO if that is too complicated for
you. It works!
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

An ISO is an image (like a zip file) of a CD. Its supposted to be
burned to a cd with a *specialized* program ('burn iso image') so that
it makes a cd with folders and files like any other CD. An ISO is an
easy way to send CDs from place to place. It also allows a bootable
CD to be recreated without jumping through hoops.

If you can read the CD you made now, and see the .iso file, it still
does not make it properly burned to the CD. You just saved it to a CD.

If you cannot burn an ISO image with RecordNow, then get imgburn or some
such freeware. http://www.imgburn.com/

Or download the SP3 in an EXE file.
WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe is what you want.

The first thing you should do is make sure that you are not hiding file
extensions:

My Computer | Tools | Folder Options | View
Uncheck the box next to "Hide extensions for known file types."
Click OK.

Now, use Windows Explorer to see what exactly you burned to the CD:

My Computer | Double-click DVD/CD-RW Drive

What do you see?

As I said, I got the the downloaded ISO with RecordNow and I do not know how
to run and install SP3 to other PC.Anyway I tried all means and share with
you all friends with the following:-
I extracted the ISO file to my HD,From there one by one I burn them to a CD
by using RecordNow program and it works.

Thus the reason we are giving you advice!

You just are not reading are you. You do not extract anything. An
ISO extension on a file needs to be burned to a CD with a ISO burning
software, (imgburn) or recordnow *if it has an image burn option*. Once
burned to the CD you will see *FILES*.
From there you can run the SP3.exe file.

That or download the SP3.exe file itself. You don't need the ISO.
Get the exe.

I'm outa here!
