How the h would we know here? This is a peer-to-peer support group, not

Microsoft. Besides, your question indicates a very rudimentary

understanding of the issue, which lies squarely with the images created and

deployed by the OEMs. The exact same issue, btw, which existed with Service

Pack 2.

 

You can read about the issue in detail at the link below by the brilliant

Jesper Johannson. Jesper has also written a tool which you can run first to

prevent issues if you have an OEM machine (not just an HP) with an AMD

processor.

Apparently MS is going to have some kind of check or update for those

with HP and AMD systems prior to it installing SP3. What that is

remains to be seen. There is a utility that you can use that will prep

your system for a safe transition here:

If you automatically receive and install HP's updates, HP has released an

update for the problem. Depending on when your PC was bought, it may not even

have the problem. So Automatic Update may now accept your PC.

That's good info to know. Is there a direct download to the update as

well? I'd like to know so I can pass it along to other folks.
