Ärende: Our XP SP3 on PC w/ AMD C
=================================
JP>Ed, man of little faith.

JP> EV> I don't know if the AMD Bug in SP3 for XP has been fixed or not.
JP> EV> When I went to Microsofts Website to Download the XP SP3 update I
JP> EV> noticed the Date of the Knowledge Base article was back in 2008.
JP> EV> I would guess that they haven't changed their XP SP3 update at all,

JP> I have a bit of experience in this, Ed. As you know, there are two AMD XP
JP>machines here and repeatedly, I had tried to get SP# installed on both of th
JP>with disastrous results. so, I say that you are of little faith, the bug is
JP>fixed otherwise I would have met with the same disaster. You mention the
JP>continuous reboots and I had them. I had applied the suggested cure pertaini
JP>to the HP OEM loading of XP. Not my case as my boxes were OEM but my OEM, I
JP>loaded the MS CD, not the ones as provided to HP by MS, and doctored to thei
JP>liking.

JP> EV> I have read your later messages and see that you were successful in
JP> EV> getting both of your AMD computers working on XP SP3.  Hooray!!!!!!!!!

JP>  Not yet, one to go. Today will be the day. I have to completely disconnect
JP>the first AMD box and reconnect tother.

JP> EV> AFAIK the HP XP SP3 update was a patch to use BEFORE installing the
JP> EV> Windows Update.

JP> It could have been ! Not my case. I tried it anyway but got no further.
JP> EV> I just went ahead and downloaded the XP SP3 update and Ran it to see
JP> EV> what it would do.

JP> I did too after reading of your stellar success, I had no clone to go back
JP>but chanced it anyway. I still do not know why TI would not work on that box
JP>then tries all bootable disks in other machines and they are good.

Jean,

I suppose you can get a clone done now since you got SP3 on the box?

I haven't used TI yet but as Tom warned me, I won't put any Patches or
Updates on the box until I did a TI Backup (or as you say 2 backups).

JP> EV> Very Soon, I will Do the Download Only trick with Windows Update, so I
JP> EV> can look at them before letting them into my system.
JP> EV> And I will be sure to HIDE (right click) any of them that have to do
JP> EV> with Internet Explorer 7 or 8.
JP> EV> What little use I have for IE6 is just right for me.

JP> You might be right but I think that Security Essentials needs IE 8 to run.
JP>??? It has been advertised, IE8 that is, as very secure. Why not give it a g

I think I'll leave IE8 and Security Essentials alone for now and keep on
using the McAfee product AT&T DSL provides me with.

JP> EV> I think it was over an hour before it was finished.

JP> I got a feeling that it redoes the whole folder of XP, I loved the point wh
JP>it said that it was saving a Restore point, just in case. Not needed. This
JP>feeling is due to all the files rolling on the dialog as it was being set, I
JP>recognized quite a few as first install ones. Watching this was like watchin
JP>paint dry or grass grow.

I also noticed the SP3 Upgrade made a Restore Point while it was doing
its' thing.

I got tired of watching the goings on of the Upgrade so I turned on the
Acer Vista HB laptop and entertained myself with it as the XP box was
being Upgraded.
