[Orcnet] Windows XP Service Pack 3

[Randy Ainslie]

Steve,

            Here is my 2 cents.  I have done about 10 upgrades and found the
following problems on various computers.

All went well except:

 

1 PC had an incomplete SP2 update on an XML package and SP3 did not fix that
and left a hole in the upgrade.  This consistently says there is a problem
that needs an upgrade but cannot fill the request.

 

1 PC had a complete SP3 update, (just today), where I had to do a complete
reinstallation of the XPPro.  One program (AVG antivirus) would not install
under SP3 where it did under SP2.  I am not sure why, but and upgrade of AVG
fixed the problem.

 

All others are seemingly ok.

 

Randy

My laptop is now volunteering to install Windows XP Service Pack 3.

 

What is this likely to do to me and how do I mitigate the downside ?

 

 

s.w.
