    SP3 Failed to install Anonymous -- 14/05/08

    AS an early adopter I endeavoured to download and install SP3 for Windows XP Home Edition (as in the graphics attached to the article)
    When it did not install I went to the Discussion Groups and found many others with the same problem. I applied all the suggested fixes to no avail then contacted Microsoft for assistance. It would appear MS Aust is yet to be in a position to assist particularly when you have an OEM version of Win XP

    my problems with sp3 Anonymous -- 16/05/08 (in reply to #320101700)

    I tried to install the sp3 update from Microsoft's site and my computer would boot to a blue screen. I had to have a tech from Friendly Computers come to my house to fix my computer. It took him about 45 minutes, and their rates were really reasonable. I am not sure what the problem was, but if you are having any problems, I recommend their services. Their site is www.friendlycomputers.com and you can find the closest location on their site.
