Windows Xp

What does the new Service Pack 3 do?

The only thing i have notices so far is that when internet pages dont respond, i can Diagnose them.

Also it took off my 'Vista' theme that i had installed.

Should i keep it or will uninstalling it be better?

Service packs -----are they not designed to make sure you have not missed important security updates?

XP SP3 is an accumulation not only of SP1 and SP2 but all the hotfixes and patches released since SP2. AFAIK SP3 was not going to add any functionality - You can download white papers on SP3 in various formats from Microsoft

Best to keep it installed really. Without it your Windows installation is not up to date - and therfore vulnerable to security exploits.
