Black Screen no Boot SP3

[Guest Infodon]

I have been testing XP SP3 on several machine types and have encountereed a

reproducable issue on IBM laptops of the R Class. After installing SP3 the

system will boot, but if you run the lenovo system update tool and apply

updates the system will no longer boot and sits at a black screen with no

activity. System will boot into safe mode. I have tried disabling all

unnecessary services and startup programs to no avail.

 

The only solution I have found is to uninstall SP3.

Suggestions Appreciated

It has been released as RC1 to the general public and before that it

was in a couple beta versions.

There's a forum dedicated to issues with SP3. You might want to post your

question there.
