There are no new features to speak of, but again I noticed it cleaned up all the KB Installs and went really quick. This is more recommended for anyone who is unaware that MS has an Update Site or you don't update your PC to frequently. I am giving it only a 3 simply because if you keep your PC up to date as it is, it really does not do anything new, except gain back maybe MB of hard drive space taken up by the previous individual updates of the past 3 years. I hope Betanews doesn't get in trouble for releasing this a day early.
The update installed quickly and completely. I'm happy with it. However, it's a service pack so you'll really need to talk to me in 6 months to get a decent opinion.
That being said nothing is blatently broken and I thought the networking code would be noticeably slower, but it isn't while wired any ways. Installed on 3 machines when it was released, no issues on any of them since then i. SaadSaleem can you give me more details of the problem that you are having. I was also having the same problem and might be able to help you with this. Were you able to get an IP. Send the details to me on nsrattan gmail. Good Lord, I don't know what any of you are talking about.
My version was SP3 RC2 No problems with address bars, etc. Best link for uxtheme replacement that I have found is: www. Unzip the. When windows file protection gives you the prompt for the xp cd hit "cancel". Good to go, at your own risk of course. This service pack made my adsl modem Siemens Speedstream restart again and again. I have no idea that why it would do so, maybe new networking features which are downgraded from Vista. I had to remove this service pack in order to use the internet through adsl at home.
My advice-- wait for the non-RC releases of SP3. I had to run some command line items before I could successfully install SP3 due to an 'Access Denied' more than have way through the install The idea that they needed to remove the Address toolbar for legal reasons is absurd-- yes, please remove my convenience items-- Yeah, I want the government to tell me what my OS should look like-- thanks guys! It would use your default browser anyway. Don't touch 'our' XP!
As far as Windows goes XP is the grail and Vista is trash. You should never ever use a non-final Microsoft product on your personal computer. I hope at least your hard-disk is partioned ;. I installed this but on restart, it reset all themes and add-ons to the Windows default. I had different themes and also had Vistapack XP installed. I was unable to switch to any theme, even after using the ultheme fix again. After uninstalling the service pack, my hard drive had an error which caused the machine to be in an endless "boot" mode.
I was unable to get into "Safe" mode as well. So, I had to reinstall Windows and I have lost everything. This is the first time I have been seriously messed up by a Windows Beta or program.
I suggest staying away until the final release, and even then, I have to wonder why it broke my machine with the uninstall. Just something to consider. Hi just installed sp3 and checked the version number by right clicking my computer and selecting properties. Properties say service pack 3 v. Btw can you post link to forum plz? Thank you. IE v6 so far doesnt crash when run unlike earlier builds of sp3. This refresh will not show up in windows update unless you uninstall the last build.
The build number is -I think? This resets the permissions so it will work. They wrote that they only give the updates trough windowsupdate and this is the official download!
What a joke and a waste of my time. This is the exact same build that was available thru Windows Update about 2 weeks ago. It certainly isn't a Refresh!!!! I really really dislike that SP3 disables the use of the address bar in the task bar, as I find this to be an essential component. Been testing all the public releases and IMO it's better than Vista.
Makes XP so fast! I agree with the poster about WMP It does chug, and I would like the interface much more customizeable. Hey CyberDoc, Your impatience is showing, Internet Explorer 7 and WMP 11 will be great products when their subsequent releases are already out 8, In other words I'll get to enjoy those products when they've fixed all the bugs they're going to and virtually all of the 3rd party compatibility issues will also be gone. Or you can use it now and test the products for Microsoft without getting paid.
No problems with SP3. Installed fine, no side-effects. Note on WMP Someone says it is totally stable. Not my experience - I have 1. WMP 11 seizes up and crashes all the time - to all intents and purposes it is unuseable, 10 is fine - sure, it takes time to load the whole library, but it works. Nor do I want album covers shown regardless.
It should be an option - as most of the library is downloaded music, the placeholder display is a nuisance. I would like to keep the explorer approach of Stable, but some things still get broken.
Unless you have a good reason to try this I'd wait for the official release. System Restore is limited. In fact, despite SP3's improved security, making occasional full DVD spanned images or 2nd hard drive of your C-Drive is one of the best things you can do. Make a detailed checklist of everything you do before installing then test it all. What about DX10? Until the software is better written, only high-end computers using the latest SLI or Crossfire configurations can keep the frame rates up and use DX Not only that, but Vista breaks EAX support.
If you are a gamer, my advice is don't buy Vista yet possibly never if you don't need to, or at least dual-boot. The latest Vista SP1 doesn't impress me yet overall, but I think it solved an issue with high CPU usage when playing certain video files.
There is also a push for External PCI for modular desktops and laptops that can use external desktop cards. I ramble Anyway, SP3 is coming along nicely, but again if you aren't fairly computer savvy I can't recommend installing it just in case something important gets a little screwed up. I should have know better with Beta 1 not long in front of RC2. One installed, I found my Windows Client for my wireless failed to function and Windows Wireless would not start.
Restore capibilities after power down was non existant along with the ability to boot to safe mode. Uninstalled through the Microsoft provided uninstaller only to find out that the programers at Microsoft really haven't crossed all of the "T's" and dotted their "I's" Tomorrow, I will do a total reload but under an SP2 environment. Why can't I just click to install and be done with it? The Jedi????? I am your father WM 11 and IE7 are totally tested and Totally stable!
I haven't used this service pack and they really need to just let people comment on stuff, but you are crazy if you think MS should bundle IE7 and WMP Those programs are new and unstable, MS knows it, that's why they aren't included. Yes, the address bar will be removed in the main taskbar because of the Google searchbar lawsuit, which is really stupid the google case. I gave it 5 because XP is 7 years old and they still support it, unlike the other OS cat which you'll have to buy the ServicePacks.
Sam, you need to read these posts and the instructions. There is no direct link to the download. You then need to run Windows Update to get the download for SP3. So this is the best among all others. The WGA is gone, many thanks. But the background is still black. Can I change that to blue? Thanks for sharing this article wonderful and informative article with us.
