Windows XP Update Problem !!

[torrent08]

Hi everyone..
My system is Xp Version 2002 , Service pack 2..
Today after almost 7 months, i gave the option of " automatically installing windows updates"..
hence IE 7 got installed..
Later , i got a message sayi " XP Service Pack 3 " is to installed..
i clicked on Yes..and then came the message that " windows recommend BAcking up ur system before installation".

As i havent backed up my SyStem Yet , I cancElled the XP Service pACK 3 OPTION.

So is it necessary that I install the Service Pack 3 edition...Do i really need to BAck up my system as MIcrosoft tells ??!!

Its not necessary...but your system must be updated. SP3 contains many fixes and enhancements patches, as well as some new features.

I suggest you to install SP3

Making backup can be helpful in case something goes wrong. However there is nothing to worry about. Mine SP3 was installed without any problem, and I didn't make any backup.

You can make backup of important files saved in windows partition.
