Windows XP SP3 Does NOT Play Nice with 3rd Party Applications

[Guest Teknowbabble]

After downloading WinXP SP3 system went Haywire. Thought Id post my

findings for people to see and comment on. Its easier to view visually

so I added some graphics on a webpage.

Im not sure if Microsoft is trying to drive people to Live Onecare,

but the evidence is starting to point that way.

Suggestion: Convert all those .BMP files in your site to .JPG, which will reduce the file size to a great deal.

 

Each BMP is about 1.4 MB. When converted to .JPG it comes to about 130 KB.

Ramesh --> I switched the pictures to JPG's. They are distorted but

visible. I used old MS photo editing software to enhance it. Geocities

will be happy because the Free version only allows 4.2MB/Hour

downloads- nothing essentially.

 

PA Bear --> If I cant get this stuff to work out on my own I'll call

MS Tech Support. Thanks.
