For the time being, I would uninstall SP3 and use System Restore (going back to a date just prior to SP3) for good measure.

Why upgrade in view of all the problems some have with SP3?

Whenever everything new comes out, there are always some people with problems. But in fact, the enormous majority of those who have upgraded to SP3 have had no problems at all with it, If you're reading about problems *here*, this where people come with their problems, not with their successes. You get a very distorted view of what's going on in the real world here; as someone once said, "hang around a transmission shop and you will think that all cars have transmission problems." Most problems, by far, that people report here--whether or not they are SP3-related--have nothing to do with defects in the software. They result from people's ignorance, from bad or inadequate hardware, from old drivers, from viruses, from spyware, and so on. And except for very rare situations, they always get a fix for their problems, and in most cases, that fix is a very simple one to implement.

Why upgrade in > view of all the problems some have with SP3? In the future, please begin a new thread about your questions/problems. Repost with emphasis added: >> Free unlimited **installation and compatibility support** is available >> for >> Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3), until 14 Apr-09. WinXP SP3 will be supported into 2014. Support for WinXP SP2 will end in 2010. The vast majority of WinXP users have installed SP3 without any issues whatsoever. Such users tend NOT to post to the newsgroups and forums to report such successes. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/
