New Windows SP3 causes issues

[Guest Tony]

I recently installed SP3 and was surprised to find that Windows XP would give

me a halt error and reboot itself. This was not due to hardware , but rather

the software. I am certain of this because when I uninstalled SP3 problem was

solved. My thinking is that somewhere the current drivers I have installed

probably are incompatible with SP3.

 

The error as reported after reboot was:

 

Error code 102 Event 1003

 

Error code 000000c2, parameter1 00000040, parameter2 00000000, parameter3

80000000, parameter4 00000000.

 

System Specs:

 

AMD Athlon X2 +6000

Asus M2A-VM motherboard

2 GB Corsair memory

PNY Nvidia 256 MB Geforce 7300 GS

Creative Labs Sound Blaster XFI Xtreme Music card.

 

All of the above listed hardware has the current drivers available. Also the

latest BIOS for motherboard.

 

Software AV is Bit Defender

 

Firewall is Zone Alarm, updated to the latest release.

 

Any feedback appreciated..

Tony, Im not a MVP (but I did sleep in a holiday inn) , but I have been

avidly reading up on issues with AMD processors (especially HP computers)

which SP3 does not play well with. Did you read the KB before installing

SP3? It is enough to scare most away abd stay with SP2. Google for this

info, it will help you.

While he's long-winded, Jesper has pretty much covered the issue and has

solutions that will probably fix you right up. (But you gotta scroll down a

ways to get past the discussion and on to the solutions.)

Re: New Windows SP3 causes issues

 

Thank you all for the feedback, much appreciated. Gary, thanks for the link.

Jesper is thorough.

 

Ron: I emailed support in regards to this issue as well.

 

marx: I have looked into this issue and it appears that you are correct in

what you have stated. I am certainly not alone in this latest SP3 dilemma.

Sticking with SP2 for now.

 

Although I am beginning to suspect foul play at Redmond. Shame shame if this

is the case because the authorities will get your name. Guarantee that.
