Just a head's up,

for those of you with business applications, Microsoft recommends the installation of a hotfix before you install SP3.

Here's the explanation and links:

Thanks to John for the link re: xp/sp3 info.
Very interesting and perhaps important to we who wish to continue with xp.

Thanks, nfaguys.

However, we should all now read this:

Gee, the second time around and still not right. Way to go, Microsoft!

I read through that, and the first problem is because of HP.

But I've had SP3 installed for the past few days and no problems on my AMD/ABIT PC.

To be fair, given the near infinite variety of setups and configurations, it would be near impossible to think of and resolve every potential issue, especially in advance. However, I've just upgraded my computer and because of agp driver issues (or, more precisely, because of a lack of mature ATI AGP drivers), my configuration files got whacked, not once, but twice. If any of you have been through a fresh install, you know what a frustrating experience this can be. So, when I read it, I empathized with those faced with what I've recently gone through, myself.

As I posted the link for SP3, I just wanted everyone to be aware.

Thanks for the heads-up on SP3, JOhn.
Though initially tempted, I'd better stay with what works well.

Maybe you saved me countless hours. smile

You're welcome, Ivan.

Microsoft said they would release SP3, as an auto-install, before the end of June. Hopefully, by then, they will have resolved any major issues.

FWIW - I just upgraded my daughter's HP laptop to SP3 (albeit with Intel processors) and it is working fine. The only issue was with ZoneAlarm, which didn't recognize the new MS programs and popped-up a number of alerts. In fact I am writing is from her machine.
