Windows XP Service Packs
I've just done a clean install of Windows XP Pro on a computer which I constructed about five years ago. I used an up-to-date disc which included SP3.
Almost immediately Windows Update started downloading the latest updates which it recommends I install on my computer. I have no problem with this (indeed I expect it); what I can't understand is why it has downloaded SP2 and is asking me to install that. Surely this will take me back to a state earlier than that which I had after installing from the disc which included SP3?
Can anyone explain?
