Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I am assuming you would like to use a Vista system to download SP3 for Windows XP Pro running on a different machine(maybe not connected to Internet). If yes,

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

Copy it onto a flash drive and then install it on the target XP system.

But I would recommend using Windows Update from that windows XP system, because the update client scans the system and downloads only the required; so the download size may vary.

Please note that XP SP3 is not for Vista. For Vista, please use the Windows Update client.

I wouldn't recommend doing that.

It may cause some problems, as far as I know, Microsoft has only released two Service packs for Windows vista.

They are SP1 and SP2

here is the link for SP2 if you need it released on May 26, 2009

You can download it from Microsoft Download Center:

However, the size of the file is quite large compared to updating using Windows Update.
