Service Pack 3 installation

[Guest Steve2603]

I just installed service pack 3 on my XP pro setup. after several attempts I

finally managed to get the update succesfully installed.

 

However now that it's running (applications seem to work fine) I notice that

my network icons (cable and wireless) have dissapeared and when I try to look

at devices in device manager the page is blank... no devices showing at all..

 

Hardware is a Sony Vaio PCG-Z1RSP laptop.

 

ideas anyone?

 

Thanks...

And, if you have Norton products installed, see this advisory:

 

Upgrading to Windows XP Service Pack 3 or Windows Vista Service Pack 1 with

your Norton 2008 product installed:
