#16 | Just another boring pack. The good thing is if you restore your computer instead of downloading those updates with Automatic Update you can get SP3. | | Moderator with 95,995 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2002 Location: South Eastern PA, USA Experience: Advanced age & experience |

#17 | And, if my experience is any indication, you'll know when it updates, because the next boot will be a blue screen! | | Administrator with 9,801 posts. | | Join Date: Feb 1999 Location: Chambersburg, PA Experience: Advanced |

#25 | i installed sp3 in one computer. i did not have problems installing it or after that. but i did not notice any change in performance, at least it did not slow down that system which runs on celeron processor and intel 845gl motherboard. previously when i installed sp2 in p3 system it was slowed down to some extent prom the performance point of view | | Distinguished Member with 15,681 posts. | | Join Date: May 2003 Location: Currently in NO.

#27 | I have had a few minor shell glitches left over from some heavy duty malware infections and fixes, nothing major tho, system restore turned on when rubber ducky's startup lite enumerated the run keys
I have a extreme power user setup with minimal startups
the rtm took quite a while, warned me not to use safe mode, it left my system drive quite fragmented
but everything seems to be working better than ever, cleaning out the 83 old updates for sp2 that I had applied helped, a few more tests and I will delete uninstaller folder(400MB)
I am really glad they decided to leave IE7 and MP11 out of it system restore was turned on for this one tho, I made sure of that | | Distinguished Member with 6,107 posts. | | Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: So. California Experience: Since MS-Dos 3.0 |
