I think u r pretty confused...

u r looking for SP3 but attended seminar for SP2

anyway

U can download SP2 from these links >> approx 272 MB


http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

http://www.soft32.com/download_992.html

Direct LINK
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...35-SP2-ENU.exe

and if you r looking for XP SP3

Then there is both Good news and BAD news..

first BAD news...

SP3 wll be launched in END 2007 or maybe Discarded and NO XP SP3 is there if VISTA rules the market..

Good news is that

Many people are working in making a collectively Patch for XP by putting all patches and hotfixes with some goodies in it and calling it as SP3 but that is not by Microsoft and nor any support for it is avaliable..

one such site is here

http://www.thehotfix.net/
http://www.thehotfix.net/sp3_2.php
u will get All hotfixes & patches in one compiled file
