Anybody successful with SP3?

[Guest anon]

Re: Anybody successful with SP3?

 

I installed SP3 on an AMD3200-64bit custom computer. The installation hung

at the point where it was running processes after install. After 15 minutes

I restarted and everything seems to be working alright. I am showing SP3 on

the system page and it is not prompting me for an update on the windows

update page. I installed it from the network CD I downloaded. I did that so

I would feel ok shutting off my AV. and internet connection.

Well ... people don't need help so don't ask for help when all works

well. Obviously what you see here is the few with problems. If you've

read and meet MS's requirements on their site, pay attention when you

install it, you'll probably be OK.

 

When you're reading complaints, look for consistancies; different

complaints about different things, when there's only one, are not likely

to be caused by (whatever the subject is), but when you see ten saying

the same thing, there might be something to it.

Re: Anybody successful with SP3?

 

Worked OK for me.

 

PC home-built in 2003 on an ASUS P4S8X motherboard with Intel CPU 2.53 GHz

and 1Gig of RAM.

 

Originally loaded XP (pre-SP-1), then upgraded through SP-1,2, and now 3.

 

Only minor quirks after SP-3 have been (1) Diskeeper verison 8 gives an

error about the MMC or similar, but runs anyway, (2) NtBackup.exe sometimes

runs, but sometimes stalls; reboot and try agina seems to work for Ntbackup.

 

Things that worked normally include:

(1) IE6

(2) Firefox verison 2

(3) Norton antivirus

(4) Zone Alarm firewall

(5) Easy Media Creator version 7

(6) Microsoft Office 2003 (with its own SP-3, distinct form and not related

to XP SP-3)

(7) Acrobat reader version 8

(8) Outlook Express

(9) Acronis True Image version 8

(10) Foxit PDF reader version 2.3

(11) Open Office version 2.3

(12) QuickTime version 2.4.5

(13) iTunes version 7.6.2.9

(14) PaintShop Pro version 9

(15) FLVplayer4free verison 2.5

(16) DeLorme Street Atlas USA verison 2007 and Tope USA version 4

(15) Spbot Search & Destroy version 1.5

Re: Anybody successful with SP3?

 

As the release notes for SP3 point out, MMC is upgraded. To avoid the issue

upgrade Diskeeper. Otherwise ignore the message.

sfatzo - keep in mind that the major problem developer is found between the

chair and the keyboard - also remember to always "RTFM" (Read The Friendly

Manual) or applicable instructions.

I guess "intelligent" doesn't always do it, does it? Maybe you should

quit TS'ing "on a whim" and do some research Alan.

Terry,

 

Does the phrase "you're a putz" have any special meaning to you?

No, words don't bother me like they do you. And if ANYONE is speaking

"on a whim", it's been you. Move on.
