Service Pack 3 with XP
I have a HP machine that came pre loaded with XP. when I downloaded
service pack 3 and installed it, the machine would not re boot after I restarted it. It looks like it is just about there and then goes to a B&W screen saying I can boot in one of 3 safe mode options or normal mode. If i choose normal mode , it tries to re boot but comes back to that b& W screen . IS it missing some sort of driver??

There are some cautions about AMD processors and its suggested (I think) that you turn off AV and Firewalls etc.

Service Pack 3 with XP
If I where to install SP3 I would choose to download the
file and not use Automatic Updates. Your PC must be at least SP1 or SP2 level as SP3 will not install on XP Gold. For HP users with AMD processors see the links provided later in my post. I would also create an "Image Backup" of my drive prior to installing SP3 just in case you do have problems. Don't have any Image Backup softwa Try "True Image" (has a 15 day trial version available) http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing...cts/trueimage/ If you use Zone Alarm Firewall (Free or Paid) then update to the most recent version of 8.x Free unlimited installation and compatibility support Note: Free SP3 support installed ends April 14, (Via Email, Chat or Phone support) http://support.microsoft.com/oas/def...3&gprid=522131 Install SP3 in 'Clean Boot' mode: How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" state http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353 How to obtain the latest Windows XP service pack http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322389 Where to download the SP3 installation file: (File is large but will only install components that your PC requires) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en Windows XP Service Pack 3 Overview http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en Be sure to download and read the file titled 'Overview of Windows XP Service Pack 3' Note: "You can run the SP3 update package on any edition of Windows XP SP1 or SP2."
