Windows XP Service Pack 3
texasboy:
Surfer, Even my old 8 year old PC with only a 1.3 processor and older ati 9550 graphics card had no bother upgrading to SP3. Running great. Most XP computers should have no problems,and will benefit from it. No need to alarm people.
cheers

but it did happen to me and i'm not exactly a novice. :o
obviously Your Mileage May Vary. i was just recommending caution.
i could have upgraded to SP2 i've done that a many times on various computers with no probs since some online software simply won't install on SP1.
i just don't know of the marginal utility that SP3 brings.
i don't think people should be scared; just have backups and utilities handy (as most major upgrades recommend) in case the unforeseen happens.
And in my case my PC is a SFF unit that was very hard to fix after the fact
SP3 does run quite nicely on my PC after the the Video and Audio drivers were reinstalled 8)
