hi, can anyone help please ? my PC uses windows xp service pack 2, i have automatic updates enabled but i have not been prompted to update it to service pack 3. i have tried to look for a download to update to service pack 3, as i presume it is better than service pack 2. is this correct ? is it better ?

 

also, when i have found a link offering to allow me to get service pack 3, it is accompanied by dire warnings about setting up system restore points, suggestions that only programmers and experts should be doing it and advice about losing files, data and damaging the computer !! is it worth the (apparent) risk to get service pack 3, how risky is it?

 

thanks for all advice.
