I downloaded and installed the 316MB admin install 3 weeks ago, I have an amd 64x1 cpu, I have followed this amd glitch in 5 forums
http://msinfluentials.com/blogs/jesper/arc...ing-xp-sp3.aspx as usual this mvp, Doug Knox and Bill Castner, both old time ms-mvp's are way out ahead of MS on this one. the best feature I have found so far is where widows file protection has built a ready made file check in my windows folder of an updated I386 folder for using sfc scannow with. As with any service pack I reccomend a clean boot with as little as possible loading, turning off all antivirus and media components -------------------- |

QUOTE(iSIKH @ May 17 2008, 06:27 PM)  I have a custom theme installed well a msstyle because I have a cracked uxtheme.dll would that be a problem? that might be an issue since you have to fool sp2 to do that, I would uninstall it and try to reinstall later another issue with sp3, they reccomend your system be sqeaky clean, no malware, I had a few shell glitches leftover from 2 previous infections, they seem to have been fixed This post has been edited by DaChew: May 17 2008, 05:43 PM -------------------- |
