Guest JoJo Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Re: SP3 It destroyed my computer's configuration and now I cannot even continue to use the same hardware setup. I would avoid it but you should at least take time to read what it is supposed to do for us. I skipped that step and paid the penalty.
