Anyone having strange occurrences after installing Service Pack 3? After the
upgrade my machine wouldn't boot, I looked at the BIOS and boot disk was
changed to D:drive, switched back to C: and everything OK. |

Nothing much occurred. Had to re-install Windows Live Messenger, but that's
all. Be grateful for small mercies.

Wasn't caused by Windows or a service pack. |

Nope, not here.
Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for
Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3), until 14 Apr-09. Chat and
e-mail support is available only in the United States and Canada.

Steps to take before you install WinXP SP3

===================================
<IMHO>
Temporarily disable all real-time protections afforded by your anti-virus
application, any anti-spyware applications, and any third-party firewall
prior to installing SP3. If you disable a third-party firewall, make sure
you then enable the Windows Firewall: The machine should not be connected to
the internet without an active firewall.
NB ZA Free users: Uninstall ZA Free via Add/Remove Programs and enable the
Windows Firewall before installing SP3.
After installing SP3 /and rebooting twice/, check to make sure your
real-time protections have been re-enabled; If you disabled a third-party
firewall, remember to re-enable it and disable the Windows Firewall.

Windows can't access your BIOS.
If everything works, move on.

Click on ok to try again or enter an alternative path to a folder containing

When clicking on ok again it tells me:

Can someone point me in the correct direction where I'm going wrong or what
