Guest Geezzze Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Hello all, do you know the fix for the problems XP SP 3 causes. The device manager screen is blank, no network connection, and my computer takes a while to load. It may be other problems but this is a start.

Either uninstall it (and perhaps use System Restore to restore back to the prior system checkpoint), OR restore your backup image from the backup drive you made prior to installing SP3.
Guest Unknown Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Re: Service Pack 3 problems XP SP3 doesn't cause problems. The problems are caused by other things.

Guest Unknown Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Re: Service Pack 3 problems Not exactly. If you had a system WITHOUT all the trash, such as Norton, Symantec, Zone Alarm, etc. etc. etc. You wouldn't have problems as indicated in these threads and reviews.

Please define "trash". Your examples consisted of the most widely available security software, plus the software (Zone Alarm) I use. Is there an unexpressed preference for somebody else's security stuff here? We all need _some_ security.

Most Symantec products Most McAfee products Most priced products. 1. I suggest that you download and save to your hard drive the AVG Anti-virus/Anti-Spyware Version 8 Free (assuming you are an individual, not on a corporate network). http://tinyurl.com/6g6497 2. Uninstall what ever internet "security" programs that you have. 3. Install the AVG product. 4. If you don't have a router/firewall between your modem and the computer - get one.

Guest Frazzled Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 RE: Service Pack 3 problems Currently I am over writing my windows files *hugs XP disc*...I downloaded and installed SP3 fo windows. I didn't think to look up if there were people whom had problems with it, I have never really had any trouble with windows updates before. How stupid am I? I really should have looked up if there were problems with SP3... I attepmted to boot in safe mode and the computer continued to keep on not booting properly for me. Thus why I am over writing windows at the moment. It really is a pain in the ass because of the work I can't do until I get windows working again. Also my computer does have Norton's...Most peoples computers are filled with "trash"...A lot of people have that stuff on their computer...to "protect" against nasties...since there is so much of that crap out there. But yes SP3 did not agree with my computer... Y_Y poo...now i have to fix the driver for my moniter *sobs*...its huge and ugly!
