Doesn't matter if you already updated through WU, but I'd just use a standalone package... I'll find you the link in a min.Edit: Here you go(it's bigger though, so if that is a problem just use WU): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;DisplayLang=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KotaXor Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I have 2 PCs using SP3 through windows update and another 2 using standalone SP3, the standalone SP3's PCs seem to boot-up faster.......well (who cares!) as long as it work fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference is the installation process and the filesize differs due to the included languages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One little issue is incompatibility with some lovely programs, like for example Vista Transformation Pack (anyways, this is just a temporary issue - subsequently all Publishers will have to fall in line.)

demonon Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I think my system got just a little bit more reliable, a small speed improvement here and there..The downside of this update is that svchost uses around 5-10mb more.Overal it was a nice addition to XP.

KotaXor Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 All I know is there is some problems between some modem, router with SP3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broke23 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 All I know is there is some problems between some modem, router with SP3.I know I had a problem like that, I connect to internet using a wireless connection through my router, and when I installed SP3 when it just had been released on the net (official version I think, as it was MS site), I couldn't connect to my wireless connection anymore.Anyone has a clue if this problem is still there ? if so, I'll never update to SP3, as I can't take my pc downstairs to get lan connected (cable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be a tab called Autentication unchecked the item called 'IEEE.....' something like that.Click ok and okReboot if necessary and you should be able to connect.

broke23 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 finally I took the chance to install sp 3, before it I had downloaded a new driver through driver magician (previous search for drivers never found anything)first I installed it, went ok, but as predicted, no internet, then I installed the new driver, came up with an assistant, it worked, but then again it failed sometimes (no more internet for some minute or so) so then I went looking for that IEE thing, and I unchecked it idd (was unchecked with previous driver though ... (checked didn't work either)) and then now it seems to be working properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
