XP Pro SP3 - not ready for prime time

(I am using a Dell system while I wait on an RMA for the system in my sig. The Dell has XP Pro x32 installed.)

 

Though I have Windows Automatic Update on, for a reason that escapes my mind now I went to the Windows update website and did a search for updates. SP3 update, about 60MB, was listed as available. Why not; it's not in beta.

 

I have been having problems since I installed it. Many times when a new IE window opens after clicking on a link, only the window frame appears and the window hangs - I can continue working though. Roxio CD writer began reporting errors even after I reinstalled it - I had to switch to Nero.

 

SP3 is 0 for two ...

I guess the new theory on security is if you cannot have contol of your computer then neither can a hacker. :)

I waited a very long time before trying SP2 so I would do a fresh install of XP and hold of getting the SP3 untill about a million guinea pigs try it first
