Hi Levi, No, I haven't installed it yet, PC Pitstop is a good resource for info on the problems being encountered with Service Pack 3 check out techtalk.pcpitstop.com/category/the-pit-blog/ and a few of the other stories for more. Cheers, Dave. |

Hi Levi,
Have heard of several people having problems with soundcards etc with it and having to uninstall it! Maybe it would be wise to hold off for a while.

According to the guy who looks after my computer, you don't need to install SP3 if you use your computer online (assuuming you have a registered copy of windows), you should receive all the updates that are in SP3 online. If you try to install it yourself, you could have problems. Maybe a case of "if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it".

Well, I do know that I installed SP3 on both my computers, my son's computer, and my wife's laptop, and have had no problems at all. Of course, I made sure all my drivers were up-to-date first. But just to be sure, I did take a disk image (I use Acronis True Image 11) of the system before I started, so I could easily backtrack if necessary.
