If you have a third-party wireless network adapter, make sure that it is supported
If you have a third-party wireless network adapter, make sure that the device is supported by Windows XP SP3, or make sure that the manufacturer of your wireless network adapter has new drivers available that support Windows XP SP3 before you perform the installation. If you are not sure, contact the manufacturer of your wireless network adapter.
-
If you are running antivirus software, disable it
Warning This workaround may make a computer or a network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. We do not recommend this workaround but are providing this information so that you can implement this workaround at your own discretion. Use this workaround at your own risk.
Although disabling your antivirus software is not usually recommended, some antivirus software prevents certain system files from being changed. This may cause the Windows XP SP3 installation to fail. To make sure that you can successfully install Windows XP SP3, temporarily disable your antivirus software including any antispyware and third-party firewall programs. To do this, right-click your antivirus program icon, and then click Disable. The antivirus program icon typically appears in the lower-right corner of the computer screen.
Important Make sure that you enable the antivirus software after Windows XP SP3 is installed.
Note An antivirus program is designed to help protect your computer from viruses. You must not download or open files from sources that you do not trust, visit Web sites that you do not trust, or open e-mail attachments when your antivirus program is disabled. For more information about computer viruses, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

- Определение наличия в Windows XP установленного пакета SP3
- Установка в ручном режиме
- Процесс удаления пакета SP3
Наиболее очевидный и рекомендуемый способ преобразования SP2 в SP3 (как и более ранних версий) заключается во включении и настройке функции автоматического обновления.
Данная возможность предполагает загрузку любого, в том числе и третьего пакета обновления, как только он становится доступен для установки на ваш компьютер. Для старта установки понадобится всего-навсего несколько раз щелкнуть мышью, а основная часть процесса происходит в автоматическом режиме. Если же обновления автоматом отключены, есть вариант установки пакета SP3 при помощи запуска Центра обновления, который можно найти на официальном сайте оболочки Windows.
Для инсталляции данного пакета, в системе должен быть уже установлен пакет обновления типа SP1 или SP2. Они тоже могут обновляться автоматически.
Определение наличия в Windows XP установленного пакета SP3
- Щелкните на кнопку «Пуск», далее на «Мой компьютер» правой кнопкой мыши и выберите из выпадающего меню пункт «Свойства».
- Если в разделе «Система» вы обнаружите надпись Service Pack 3, то это значит, что пакет этих обновлений уже был установлен и делать дальнейшие шаги не требуется.
Перед установкой любого пакета обновления, как последнего, так и SP1/SP2, рекомендуется выполнять следующее:
- Войдите в систему с учетной записи администратора и закройте все работающие программы.
- Сделайте резервные копии системных файлов на внешнем носителе, например на съемном жестком диске, памяти USB или DVD.
- В том случае, если у вас ноутбук, нельзя отключать его от зарядки на время обновления или перезагружать.
- Если у вас установлена операционная система Windows XP Professional, то рекомендуется создать контрольную точку для автоматического восстановления системы, которая поможет вернуть систему к жизни в случае возникновения сбоев при установке SP3. Необходимо также знать о том, что автоматическое восстановление системы недоступно в версии Home Edition.
- Установленный антивирус может воспрепятствовать установке обновления или замедлить ее. Решением этой проблемы является временное отключение программы-антивируса. Однако, не забывайте, что компьютер в этот момент будет подвержен рискам атаки вирусов и после установки защиту следует возобновить.
- Проверьте, достаточно ли места на диске для установки обновлений (хотя большая его часть понадобится лишь в процессе инсталляции).
Установка в ручном режиме
Если нет возможности обновить пакеты SP1 или SP2 из официального Центра обновлений Windows, всегда можно его скачать отдельным установочным пакетом с сайта загрузок Microsoft, после чего произвести ручную инсталляцию. Прежде всего, этот файл предназначен для программистов и разработчиков, но вы столь же успешно можете его скачать и установить.
Также существует возможность заказа компакт-диска с обновлениями SP3 на официальном сайте Microsoft.
Ручная установка пакета обновления 3 для Windows XP с помощью загруженного файла или компакт-диска
1. Необходимо выбрать одну из подходящих для вашей ситуации процедур.
- В том случае, если пакет SP3 загружен из файлового хранилища сайта, то для непосредственной установки следует запустить скачанный файл, после чего следовать появляющимся на экране инструкциям. Если же вам не требуется незамедлительное обновление SP1/SP2, то нажмите кнопку «Сохранить» после чего произойдет закачка установочного файла на ваш жесткий диск. Запустите его, когда будете готовы к обновлению.
- Если установка пакета SP3 производится с компакт-диска, то вставьте этот диск в привод компьютера, на котором установлена обновляемая версия ХР. Произойдет автоматический запуск мастера обновлений ПО Windows. Если окно не появилось, следует нажать кнопку «Пуск», войти в пункт «Мой компьютер», выбрать правой кнопкой мыши дисковод, в выпадающем меню выбрать пункт «Автозапуск».
2. В открывшемся окне мастера установки SP3 для Windows XP просто нажмите кнопку «Далее» и следуйте появляющимся на экране инструкциям.
3. Для окончания инсталляции нажмите кнопку «Готово», после чего произойдет перезагрузка вашего компьютера.
4. Не забудьте включить антивирусную программу.
Процесс удаления пакета SP 3
- Зайдите в меню «Пуск» и выберите там «Панель управления».
- Найдите ярлык с названием «Установка и удаление программ», выберите там Windows XP Service Pack 3 и нажмите кнопку «Удалить». Если найти пакет не удается, то возможно, вы забыли поставить галочку в графе «Показать обновления».
- В появившемся меню следует выполнить все действия, согласно возникающим инструкциям.
Примечания
- Пакет SP 3 недоступен для 64-разрядной модификации Windows XP. Если ваш компьютер или ноутбук работает под управлением именно такой версии Windows XP, с установленным пакетом SP2, то вы уже имеете последний пакет обновлений, который будет получать поддержку и обновляться вплоть до апреля 2014 года.
- В том случае, если вы произвели установку обновлений самостоятельно, то вы легко сможете их деинсталлировать. Однако, если на компьютер была произведена установка этого пакета вместе с системой, то удалить его уже не получится.
В случае возникновения непреодолимых трудностей при установке данного ПО, рекомендуется искать причины их устранения в базе знаний Майкрософт, или же обратиться в службу поддержки.

I’ve been asked to update some computers running Windows XP (without any service packs) to Windows XP SP3. The computers don’t have an internet connection (only a small intranet) and have never been updated since first install.
Do I need to install SP1a first, then SP2, then SP3, or can I install SP3 immediately?

Here are links to offline installation files for SP1a, SP2 and SP3. Download them on system with an internet connection and use them to update any systems with no internet connection.
- Windows XP SP1a (SP1 was later superseded by SP1a)
- Widows XP SP2
- Windows XP SP3
If you want to create only single installation disk of all the previous updates including SP3, go to this link to download an ISO image.
Also, you can refer this post.

Пакет обновления Windows – это большой сборник патчей и средств повышения надежности операционной системы. В случае с Windows существует 3 версии: sp1, sp2 и sp3. Настоятельно рекомендуется использовать самую последнюю – она наиболее стабильная и безопасная, поддерживает множество даже современных приложений. Если у вас до сих пор стоит sp2 или sp1, вы можете загрузить все необходимые обновления для ОС Windows XP, чтобы получить версию sp3.
Как узнать текущую версию
Для начала пользователям необходимо узнать, какая версия операционной системы Виндовс XP установлена на данный момент. Это можно сделать с помощью панели свойств компьютера:
- Кликните правой кнопкой мыши по ярлыку «Мой компьютер» на рабочем столе или в меню «Пуск».
- В раскрывшемся ниспадающем меню требуется выбрать пункт «Свойства». Альтернативный способ открыть данную панель – воспользоваться комбинацией клавиш «Win» + «Pause».
- Прочитайте, что написано в разделе «Система». Если там указано «Service Pack 3» или «SP3» — ничего устанавливать вам не надо.
Если же установлена sp2 или sp1– следуйте дальнейшим инструкциям.
Самый простой способ – автоматическое обновление. Компьютер самостоятельно загрузит все необходимые пакеты и установит их в фоновом режиме, не мешая вашей работе. Если бы автообновление было активно – система Windows XP уже установила бы sp3. Раз этого не произошло – необходимо данную функцию включить (хотя бы на время):
- Вызовите «Панель Управления» через меню «Пуск».
- Откройте раздел, который называется «Автоматическое обновление».
- Установите отметку напротив пункта «Автоматически (рекомендуется)».
- Нажмите «Применить» и «Ok», чтобы закрыть окно и сохранить конфигурации.
Теперь вам остается только подождать, пока все необходимые пакеты будет загружены с сервера Майкрософт и установлены на ваш ПК. В случае, если возникли какие-либо неполадки, и ничего не получилось, попробуйте альтернативный вариант, описанный ниже.
Загрузка пакета обновления
- Перейдите на страницу загрузки по ссылке https://yadi.sk/d/84Fc1c7p3FfqWy
- В верхней части страницы справа необходимо нажать «Скачать».
После этих действий пакет sp3 будет загружен на ваш персональный компьютер.
Установка обновления
Когда загрузка будет завершена, необходимо запустить процесс установки. Перед началом сохраните все необходимые данные, выключите работающие программы, временно отключите антивирус.
Откройте загруженный файл. 
В открывшемся окне необходимо кликнуть «Далее» и следовать дальнейшим инструкциям по установке. По завершении процедуры ваш компьютер будет перезагружен.
