Windows XP Service pack 3 performing Cleanup
How long does this process take? The install seems to have finished and all
virus software has been disabled, but this performing Cleanup screen is taking forever. Is this normal? John -- To drink or not to drink? http://www.cerm.info/bible_studies/T..._beverages.htm AIM-Crucifyself03; Yahoo-johnwjobs; Skype-jwolf6589; ; IRC-BibleJohn |

John If you do a search on SP3 Performing Cleanup, a few people have had hangs, where it just doesn't seem to finish. In one other thread I found, someone waited an hour, and it eventually finished. So something is interfering with it. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/...4-2a75fb64e692 Paul |

Took well over an hour & a half for the install of SP3 to complete here.

Windows XP Service pack 3 performing Cleanup
Not possible in my house. However I force quit the install app, rebooted,
and went to administrator mode. XP opened some DOS Windows and after I clicked on my computer and it claims service pack 3 is installed. So I guess it is.
