Question Please...

What are SP1 and SP3?

Today since we have not been online with this desktop, I had a huge---very long update that took me down for over 1/2 hr.

I have auto updates enabled on here, but when we go away for long periods, this unit is OFF..unplugged.

Each time we booted up the laptop up North, I had updates loading. Sometimes I had to interrupt my work. I was only at the laundromat for about an hour to 1.5 hrs, to charge. But even then I had updates on that unit.

I just had my son at Xmas put in a new hard-drive and tranfer this old one to it. It seemed to go very quickly, whatever he did. (duh)...

So please explain these abbreviations to those of us who are less computer savvy. I'd really appreciate it.

I should say...this is XP. Not Vista.
