DO NOT INSTALL THIS UPDATE!!! I got the microsoft update for Windows XP (service pack 3) on my desktop this morning. It kept restarting and restarting all day. Finally I stopped it and had to recover my hard drive. Something is wrong with this service pack.
me too.dont always blame microsuck for everything.this update has worked flawlessly for me.ie 8 on the other hand,well im going back to ie7.lol
Take it easy guys, jmcole is right. This is a known bug, but seems to affect only HP machines with AMD processors. There appears to be a fix by going into SafeMode and changing a registry setting. Just Google to find exact fix.
Thanks DFL. I wish I would have known about the problem with HP with AMD before I clicked that continue button.
I did not mean to sound harsh with my post. I assumed it was a user built computer instead of store bought. Good looking out -DFL- with the sig specs in -jmcole- sig. I dont look at peoples sigs so I missed that he/she had an HP. good luck BTW -jmcole- and post back if you fixed this issue so that if others have the same issue they know how to fix this.
Thanks again DFL. I chatted with HP on my laptop (since the desktop was inop). They gave me the fix for the problem, SP37394.exe. I had to uninstall the sp3, run the fix, then reinstall sp3. It works great. Why couldn't they have posted the fix earlier?
