After a recovery, I can not download the SP3 for XP Home Edition and automatic updates do not work without it.

After making a recovery, my Automatic Updates download updates and SP3 will not download. The error message says that I need to download SP3 and tried about 20 times without success. I have Windows XP Home Edition. The SP3 update was on the computer as it came out and was still on the computer at the time that I made the recovery. I have Webroot and Windows anti-virus.

I did not stand alone Setup because it indicated that it was for computer scientists and and download on several computers.

This warning from Microsoft can be ignored. If this also fails, try please report and the stand-alone Installer. I suggest saving the Setup program and then run it from the save location once the download is finished, this will avoid having to download it again. The SP3 installation may take some time according to the PC on which it is installed. 30 minutes is longer than some I've done but less than others.

To determine if SP3 is still doing, looking at the disk activity light and listen to the disk activity. If the light blinks and you can hear sounds from the disk drive, it is likely that SP3 is still what he needs. You can also start the Task Manager before starting installation (via ctrl-alt-del) and monitor the process of CPU consumption on the process tab to see if things are still active.

"When I try to manually install SP3, I get two windows.

My assumption is that you're trying through Windows updates, if this is not the case please can you explain exactly what you do?
