Hi,
Having updated my Win XP to SP2 using a CD, I ran Windows Update and was
told that GDI+ needed to be downloaded. I ran this, but it informed me
that it could not cover my Office installation until I updated that to SP3.
I cannot download SP3 because it takes longer than my ISP will allow a
continuous connection, so I am after a CD with it on.
I rang Microsoft UK, who told me that the CDs were available from their
partners, PC World, and that SP3 was also on magazine cover CDs.
I travelled to PC World today to be informed that Microsoft were wrong
and that PC World do not stock SP3 CDs. they refused to burn the file
onto a CD for me, saying that they 'would be responsible if my PC
crashed'. They told me to get a computer magazine, as they 'all carry
Office SP3'.
I duly went to a newsagent and bought a magazine, but SP3 is not on the
CD that came with it.
Can anyone tell me where I can get Office XP SP3 in the UK please? I am
willing to buy another magazine, but I need to know which title and/or
which back-issue to order so that I can be sure of getting the SP3 file
on it.

Cheers,
Robin
