I had a small issue with IE6

My word!! I just printed out the 7 pages of SP3 install instructions (less the links referenced). Installing SP3 seems more complicated than all the clues in National Treasure 1 & 2. What was MS thinking?? I do believe I shall wait awhile before jumping on this update. Sheesh.

I'm installing SP3 right now on a machine. Wish me luck!

Peace...

Well, I recently did a reformat and rebuild on my Athlon 64 3800+, from an XP Pro/SP2-slipstreamed disc, and the first thing I did after that was install SP3. Heard a few horror stories, but figured since I was starting clean, might as well give it a go (so if I did have to blast it and start again, it wouldn't be a huge loss).

So far... no problems.

[DaChew]

So far... no problems.

that should work fine

fragmented as heck tho

why not make a new cd, much better

[Soundy]

Probably will eventually... not in a big rush tho, SP2 is fine for most of my installs.

I have learned the hard way to keep windows updated and those 93 someodd patches from microsoft for sp2 were getting way out of hand

I practised a slipstream with rc2 and tested, when RTM version first hit MS downloads
I jumped on it and used a nlite beta version to do the slipstream

4 years between service packs was a little too long

XP SP3 took the 'Address' option out of my Taskbar Toolbar menu options and took the Address Bar off of my Taskbar! WHAT THE &*#@!?!? Has this happened to anyone else or is this some kind of download fluke? I can't imagine that they would have done something stupid like that on purpose... (And does anybody out there know how to fix it?)

Hmmm, you're right, I did notice that was missing now...

I've used SP3, I noticed minor bug changes, but overall not a huge change.

I think it was worth the upgrade.

Where SP3 really shines is after a fresh installation of XP . . Whether you slipstream it into a new install disc ( as I do ) or just upgrade immediately after installing XP, it saves downloading 100+ updates to get the system current

Somewhere in this linked post of mine are the words "I am no geek". Here it is.

I know this in not the full (by any means) version of XP3 but it is the one I chose (i.e. via the Update site).

This post tells of that experience.

Cheers,

Ben.

I downloaded this so-called service pak 3 and it took me a couple days of phone tech. support with Microsoft and Dell to undo the damages done.
I asked Microsoft why they would release an untested piece of ****? He said well..uhh...well with all the other programs out there we had to rush it out..HUH? Rush out a piece of junk? That does wonders for Microsoft's sparkling reputation.
I'm back with sp2.
