It's a piece of garbage, that's why... :P


Very true. :-p

Hey Age, have you tried downloading the whole setup file from Microsoft's catalogue site?

http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Home.aspx



No not from that link only the one Pestalence provided will try that when I get home.


Hopefully it'll work for you and you won't have any problems with it.

The link I provided is what Microsoft Updates uses to transfer the file to you.. It is also the link used in the MSDN Downloads section of Microsoft.. The link provided by 9TH is from the Microsoft Catalog, which was just updated last month.

One of my minor peeves with Vista was that the desktop came up quickly, but you had to wait a while for everything to finish loading.  Now, with SP3, my XP machine does the same thing! :P

As long as your machine doesn't connect to the internet, SP3 shouldn't be necessary.  One of Microsoft's clients has probably already released a virus to attack SP2.  I believe back in the 80's, Microsoft or one of the other big software companies actually put out virus infested copies of their software where pirates could copy and sell it.  I wouldn't be surprized if Nortons, and all the other dpervauers of anti-virus software were actually writing 99.9% of the malicious software in the first place.  I've been convinced that a lot of racketeering has been going on in the software industry for a long time.  It isn't just MS.  Better be safe than sorry, download and install it.

If you have an AMD processor, make sure they've worked the bugs out; there have been problems.  SP3 works fine with Intel chipsets, except for the eternal boot, that is.

Windows Update is broken on Service Package 3.. Use the URL I provided above and download the full IT install and install it manually.. I will work.

I tried three or four times to download the full install file but each time i was kicked out. I finally just bit the bullet and used Microsoft Update. it worked fine for me. i do have to say that I do not let my computer download and install anything unless I tell it to. So, no automatic updates for me.

I guess I'm the minority.  I installed SP3 through Microsoft Update, and had no problems whatsoever.

Installed SP3 on my test drive from the downloaded setup from Microsoft's Update Catalogue site and it had no problems.

No difference in performance or stability between the two, or from SP2.

You haven't notice it takes longer for the machine to finish booting?  If I ran this machine 24/7, I wouldn't notice anything.  The problems people have been having with SP3 mainly relate to AMD processors.  If you're running a Intel chipset, you shouldn't have any problems.  The problem with Window is that MS is trying to be Apple.  If I liked Apple, I would have bought Apple!

No difference whatsoever, and I'm running an AMD processor.  The boot doesn't take any longer than it did before, nor is it any faster.  Same with shutdown.  Same with programs turning on and shutting down.

Sounds like you have a system hijacker on board.. if you can find the program "HiJack This", and run a scan, then post the results.. I can tell yo what to remove in order for you to regain control of your system.

I'm not the greatest with HijackThis but I did notice that you are using two anti-virus programs.  Using Trend Micro and AVG at the same time could cause some problems.  I would suggest uninstalling AVG until your subscription with Trend Micro runs out.  Hope this helps.
