Sizza   10 #2 Posted May 29, 2008 Some updates require a restart of the computer before they finish the process. Stating the obvious I know but have you tried this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mikes10   10 #5 Posted May 29, 2008 Turn off automatic updates, Restart the computer  Download the full version of Xp SP3 from the link below. (This is about 300MB ) and install manually. If SP3 does not install there is something seriously wrong with your Xp installation.  http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5B33B5A8-5E76-401F-BE08-1E1555D4F3D4&displaylang=en  Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Weeowen   10 #7 Posted May 30, 2008 I know a lot of HP with AMD processor had probs. Heres a driver to get round.I think this should do it .If SP2 is ok why update to SP3.Leave it while all the bugs are sorted. http://tinyurl.com/6c9pqm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
