SP3, Satellite Internet and browsing issues


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I have satelite internet service (i have had it for 1 year) and have had no

issues with it in all aspects of the useage. When I downloaded SP3 for XP

lastweek i now have problems with my internet browsing. Everything seems

bogged down and runs slower than before. Pre-SP3 my internet was very fast

(well as fast as satelite can be) but post-SP3 i have had nothing but

problems.

 

What could have caused this issues after I down loaded SP3? The IP provider

has assured me that the issue is with SP3.

 

How do I roll back my PC to SP2? I need some instructions if tht is possible.

Thank you all very much, the sooner I roll back to SP2 the better things

will be.

Hello mom2twoMN,

 

Just go into Control Panel and click on the Add or Remove Programs icon.

 

Scroll down and click on Windows XP Service Pack 3. Then click on the REMOVE

radio button.

What IE version are you running, IE6 or IE7? If the latter, did you install

it before or after you installed SP3?

 

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What

anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall

(if any)? Were any of these applications running when you installed SP3?

Can you be more specific than that? Post any error messages you're getting

in their entirety, please.

Did you ask your Internet provider if their interface/software they

installed on your system was compatible with SP3?

 

Many of these Sat based internet services require some form of software

to authenticate, if yours doesn't then ignore my question.

Re: SP3, Satellite Internet and browsing issues

 

Hello and thank all of you for replying:

 

The only "software" that came with the dish was an optimizer and an FSecure

(anti-virus) which is optional. The fire wall was on during the update ( i

think).

I dont have any extra 3rd party software and such on my pc.

 

If I remove SP3 it does not show tht SP2 is on there. I tested tht on

another pc by removing SP3, rebooted and it does not show SP2. So i had to

reinstall XP with SP2.

 

I just cannot figure out why SP3 is causing so many browsing issues. I have

since downloaded Mozilla which works so much better that IE7/IE6 on another

pc. SP3 has just messed everything up. Maybe it is not compatiable with the

optimizer which helps regualte the fair access policy and such but i dont see

how tht can be.

 

Should the removal of SP3 automatically restore SP2 or is there another step

tht needs to be done for this?

 

Any insight is welcomed.

 

Thank you.

Hi again mom2twoMN,

 

If SP3 was installed on top of SP2, then if you remove SP3 via Add or Remove

Programs in the Control Panel, your system will revert back to SP2.

 

If SP3 was installed on top of SP1, then if you remove SP3 your system will

revert back to SP1.
