From: Bruce Hagen on 10 Aug 2010 12:20 That info is wrong. You need at least SP1a to skip SP2. SP1 to SP3 will not work. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "Elliot" <fai_elliot(a)yahoo.com.hk> wrote in message news:EA8C4EB9-DD65-4649-8CE4-C70B6DE00764(a)microsoft.com... > that means I can directly upgrade to SP3 from SP1? > > "smlunatick" <yveslec(a)gmail.com> wrote in message > news:8abf22aa-b6a7-4439-882b-35a62ae86da2(a)h32g2000yqm.googlegroups.com... >> On Aug 10, 4:26 pm, "Elliot" <fai_ell...(a)yahoo.com.hk> wrote: >>> BTW, do I need to install SP2 prior to installing SP3? >>> >>> "Elliot" <fai_ell...(a)yahoo.com.hk> wrote in message >>> >>> news:72B4AFBB-B06C-4956-934F-E60C535949DB(a)microsoft.com... >>> >>> > After being installed SP2 from SP1, all the function keys(win, ctrl, >>> > alt, >>> > ...) malfunctions, the items windows become empty when open >>> > Administrative >>> > Tools->Services, and it shows "Setup could not verify the integrity >>> > of >>> > the >>> > file Update.inf.
