Why are you trying to install a Windows XP service pack on a Vista operating
system?

Okay. So far so good.

"com"? You are on a battleship declaring "I have the com"?

> is currently windows vista.

So why were you asking about SP-3 for Windows XP? Decided to go off on a
tanget but neglect to bring us along for the ride?

And what is the URL for a download of SP-3 for Windows XP that comes from an
"msdnaa" site? Or could you have meant MSDN? The SP-3 download comes from
Microsoft's download center at:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=5b33b5a8-5e76-401f-be08-1e1555d4f3d4

So you are trying to foist a service pack for Windows XP into an
installation of Windows Vista. Uh huh. "XP" looks like "Vista" to you?

The redness of your forehead after slapping it and spouting "Duh!" will pass
in a few minutes. Now go get the correct download for the correct OS.

It could be that you wanted him to screw up his system so that you can then
force him to buy Windows 7 which I am sure he doesn't need in the near
future as he has just bought Windows Vista system just under two years ago.

Does this answer your question?
