You could just go into add/remove hardware and remove service pack 3?

You'd think by now that they'd have fixed this wouldn't you?

But NO! Still fucked up!

Computer was working fine with SP3. . I downloaded a program that threw a virus in and i had to do a system restore. Not a windows restore but complete.which on my HP comp formats then rewrites it from the other partition. Downloaded all my drivers needed and then did updates . I keep getting the auto update for SP3 but once its downloaded and installed the computer srestarts but into safe mode . Firewalls and antivirus off when downloading and installing . So anybody have an idea why my comp ran perfect with it before and now Iam having the above problem.

The red shield doesn't bother me, not yet anyway. I have four or five programs
I wanted, and haven't had a problem with any. The word marketing comes into
my mind when I see the signature validation.

Windows update is a different story. I read the above reviews about SP3. It
is something some people need or want. I don't do the updates. I have ignored
one update for more than a month. If I don't understand how or why I need it.
I don't update. For reasons mentioned above. To me, it is inviting trouble
for my humble operating system whose toughest task is running Yahoo Mess.

I have rebuilt XP with Dell components. It came with SP3.

I downloaded sp3 as Microsoft data said no problems and it will work great. They should be sued. I will never purcahse another PC as long as I live nor any producty MS sells. It is my only revenge. They wiped out part of ;;my computer with sp2 and it cost 800+ to get it partly fixed. I should know better. I think MS intentionally fucks up computers because when I got them they told me to call gateway which I already had for 2 hourss no help,
So the guy reads me a card with three options. 1 call gateway, 2 no support for xp so no 2, 3 they will help for 79.00 To told him to wirte this down exactly for MS "go fuck yourself and I will never spend another cent with you"
If we all did that it would work even with them.

Bottom line I am waiting on my computer guy again and hope he can get my data so I can do a system rescue that wipes out all data. Microsoft go to hell and stay there
