Hey just because someone had a bad experience doesn't mean that you should give up on it. After all if that was the case Windows wouldn't rule the desktops right now. In all seriousness though, set up a restore point, and then install SP3. Minkster played it right.

It actually made a restore point first when I installed it, so unless you just fail at everything, you should be ok.

Yeah and who is it that has the Windows "spoof" ad in their sig. Where it says "Failure is not an option. It comes bundles with the software." Sorry but I would have to agree with people that you can't be 100% with windows.

@Dr. Killgood: Eh, you mine as well give it a shot..it does create a restore point for you in case anything does go wrong. Either that, or wait till there is an official windows update for it. I'm pretty sure most of the bugs will be ironed out by then.

For my case, I think I just had driver issues because it installed 3rd party drivers that probably weren't compatible with my computer.

Shouldn't SP3 auto install through windows updates anyway?

Shh... it's not really there.

I accidentally posted something there that I didn't mean to.
