DVD player doesn't work after installing SP3 for Windows XP. That it disappeared from "MY COMPUTER". Device Manager sees it, but there's a yellow exclamation mark over it. See the BIOS of the motherboard and it still works in the BACK. I know SP3 is a collection of updates, but I'm not sure that is my problem. I suspect it's one of the more recent cause I have Windows automatic updates is turned on. Thank you.

After downloading XP SP3 computer goes into endless loop of startup

Information system

HP Compaq Presario processor 3400 AMD Atholn 64

Windows XP Home Edition SP 2 Version 5.1 (32 bit)

After you download the SP3 of XP when the computer restarts, it goes into a restart without end. It will get so far in the reboot and it will start all this will last until it is put in safe mode or cut. I had to put it in safe mode and go back to a previous restore point to get the computer usable again. I read that the Intel chips are not the problem but I'm not sure of the correction.

Black screen with mouse pointer count on reboot after installing SP3

I tried to install Service Pack 3 on a PC running XP Home Edition (new installation).

Although Microsoft Update has finished installing SP3 and the computer reboots, I get the XP installation screen base with the message "Please wait...". ", which disappears after a few seconds, leaving me with a black screen with only the mouse pointer.

The mouse pointer moves then the PC broke down, well that no matter how long I leave nothing happens.

I tried to uninstall SP3 and do it again (when I Uninstall SP3, Windows starts very well) and also uninstall SP3 as well as my Antivirus and try the installation again. But whenever I'm just left whit black screen.

Try to update with the custom option. I had problems like this before. Usually you are missing a driver or something of this kind that makes you hang. To update while the custom option, with the exception of SP3. Reboot several times the installation of updates with the "Custom" option Once all updates have been installed except SP3, you can try SP3 and see what happens. This usually takes care of it when I have the same problem.

If anyone has a solution to this help please!

Do what you should have done when the computer has been given to you: format the HARD drive and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!

HOW to do a clean install of Windows XP: see method 1 and http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html#steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978307

Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

First download the Service Pack 3 file to a folder on your hard drive. http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5b33b5a8-5e76-401F-BE08-1e1555d4f3d4&displaylang=en

Next check the wireless (if external) or manufacturing of the portable computer of (if built in wireless) technical support web site and download the latest version of the wireless driver and software.

If external wireless and then disconnect the USB device and uninstall software. If it has integrated the use of Device Manager to remove the device driver.

Next install SP3 by using the downloaded file.

Now, install the device driver and the software that you downloaded, and then try to connect.

PC running very slow XP after installing SP3, can I reinstall?

My PC is turned sssslloooowwwwwlllyyy both since the installation of SP3. I do not want to troubleshoot SP3 for now, so can I remove and reinstall? My PC is quite old in years of PC, but performance has been acceptable for me up until SP3 came.

Thank you

It is important to disable programs such as Webroot before installing SP3. Personally, I prefer to install the stand-alone version of SP3 while I'm offline and after setting up a clean boot:

http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24

Also, have a look here:

http://msmvps.com/blogs/harrywaldron/archive/2008/05/08/Windows-XP-SP3-read-all-prerequisites-for-a-successful-installation.aspx

If you want to solve your problem of performance, set up a CleanBoot and systematically add back programs/process until you figure out the problem:

Also make sure your transfer mode:

Unable to start after installing SP3

original title: problem installing SP3

Whenever I have install sp3, that my computer starts in safe mode, I have to run the system restore to get back, can someone help?

You can't just rename Intelppm, since then it would be "disappeared" but on next boot, XP would always try to load and do not find the file, so I think that you wait for the error.

I'm not sure that article HP makes sense - perhaps Beach Bum Daavee will weigh on that thought.

Using the Recovery Console, you need to disable the Service, as shown in method 2 of this article:

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/953356

Then when you restart, the Service will not even try to start.

If things get worse, you can also run "enable intelppm" the RC.

Windows Update or automatic updates no longer work after installing SP3?

Recently I photographed two XP machines. A a Latitude D600 and also an Optiplex 745 with Windows XP SP2. I can deploy SP3 in our process of the image. First run I did. Once installed SP3 updates no longer work. I found this article KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144 and tried the suggestions here and FixIt MS, no luck. Then I thought why not try again maybe all the trial and error messed up something. I reimage but this time choose to do not to install SP3 immediately. Once done I run Windows Update and it works, until it installs SP3 then is no longer functions. I tried the above steps once again, no luck. I then leave the PC for 48 hours to see if the automatic updates the shot but they do not have. By other suggestions online I wrote a small batch file that updates several components of Windows Update (dll) which made no difference, and yes I'm in the last WindowsUpdateAgent. Please any help on this would be welcome. We move away XP but we have still a few dozen or more systems deployment running XP and this question slows down my work courses as I spend time troubleshooting instead of being able to finish and move along.

I have problems of continuous loop trying to start after installing SP3

I tried to boot into safe mode and other options, but it does not start and it won't start either my drive (says there is a damaged my disk file).

Any ideas on how to get started so that I can remove SP3?

PS - very disappointing that there is a lack of support from Microsoft on this subject - unless you pay £46 - it was caused by their update and I think they should fix it for free!
