I just installed it on my home built AMD / ASUS system. After it installed it wouldn't boot, not even into safe mode. Called MS and they said a level two tech would call me on Wednesday.
I Googled around (thank God for Google) and found a thread where others with AMDs were having the same problem. To get it to boot they suggested a USB flashdrive on a usb port. Tried it and it booted right up - I then proceeded to unistall SP3. When will I ever learn not to patch something right away from MS. Last edited by Segwin; 05-13-08 at 06:15 AM. |

XP is now unstable
Vista has had problems . . . Come on . . . Microsoft!

I'm not having any issues at all with the update. I have loaded it on two computers. Working ok on my end. I'm not sure why it is creating headaches for some. Sorry to hear it fellas.

The other thing that really gets me is they KNOW there is a major problem with this release but yet it's still there to download so some other poor sap can waste hours of their time when the computer craps out.
Nice MS, very nice. |

Makes Vista look good ... I have Vista on three machines, plays games, surfs the web, even makes a nice way to make a living from writting.
But no way am I going to trust Vista Sp1 or Win XP Sp3 till the waves of negativity stop rolling in.

And then choose Apple or Linux/Unix Really as far as I'm concerned I stop being a windows customer with XP. Each successive release is crappier (not because of the ui though), has more draconian copy protection etc... I'm fed up and since I have no problem using open source software the jump to the other side won't be as traumatic as many people seem to think it is. Edit : and here is another example why DRM infested Vista is just plain wrong : http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post...rm-stinks.html Last edited by goldorak; 05-14-08 at 01:14 PM. |

They must be kiding me . It must be a bad joke. Testing service pack 3 on two pc`s. No Lan connection (transfer files from one pc to other) wtf ? I know very well how to do it on service pack 2 but its seems sp3 had a huge problem with itself, god damn it! I became angry and i just made a format on both comuters. However i search on the web about thise problem and guess what. According to some users information i only can made a lan connect if the two pc have a same configuration. I don`t know if thise is true thince i stick with sp2 now, but if it is - its idiotism for my opinion . Sorry for thise long post and possible writing mistakes on the way.
