Windows 2000 Service Pack 3???

**Ronin** · March 12th, 2002, 09:34 AM

As I was installing Adobe Photodeluxe Home Edition 3 onto my new pc with Windows 2000 Pro., a message popped up indicating that I would eventually need Windows 2000 Service Pack 3.

I went looking for it, but I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know anything about this?

That is fresh. An application asking for a patch that doesn't exist? You should check Adobe's site for additional information. Perhaps enter a question in their FAQ. If you find out more, please post back...

More specifically:

<a href="http://www.adobe.com/support/products/photodeluxe.html" target="_blank">http://www.adobe.com/support/products/photodeluxe.html</a>

I noticed in the support downloads that there is a version 3.x in the windows downloads. Perhaps is that what the installation was implying?

Also, there is a forum there, but you have to create a user. They might be able to address your problem.

I swear that it asked for Windows 2000 SP3.

You may not be far from the truth. I found this article, referencing win2k with SP3. Still haven’t looked for the download. I feel compelled now to start looking. I remember not to long ago there was a post SP2 rollup of hot fixes. It is still available; I just don't have a link.

Here is the MS article I was talking about...
<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/search/preview.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q307317" target="_blank">Windows XP or Windows 2000 SP3 Clients on Windows NT 4.0 MQIS Server Cannot Read System ACLs (Q307317)</a>

Now, we have a search for Service Pack 3: Microsoft's Hidden Service Pack.

And you're right: You never go to the drive-thru!!! You always go to the counter. And do you know why? O.k., o.k., o.k., o.k., THEY F*CK YOU AT THE DRIVE-THRU!!! THEY F*CK YOU AT THE DRIVE-THRU!!! They know you're gonna be miles away before you know you got f*cked!!

Ya_know the movie...

Not only do I know the movie, and I absolutely love that flick! Joe Pesci made that movie so much better.

Anyway, I'll be sure to say something, if I ever find SP3. Here's a thought: Look through Google's newsgroups for additional information.
I'll check with my subscribed newsgroup service.

Take a look at this. I found it within Google's newsgroups.

apparently SP3 for win 2k is in beta testing

**Ya_know** · March 15th, 2002, 06:53 AM

Yeah, according to the article 45 days after August 20, 2001. It should be available by now!?!

**MacGyver** · March 15th, 2002, 08:16 AM

Probably a typo. Email Adobe and confirm.

Hi, I can verify that sp3 will be out shortly. I know somebody that maintains one of the testing labs for MSFT. She told me that MSFT is really pushing to get this latest service Pack out.
