I have done updated windows xp to service pack 3 – almost always with the problem of can’t boot and the remote desktop connection. Last month I wonder why I didn’t face any problem while doing that update – but it was in Italian Windows. For Italian Windows, the service pack installation program is not the same with the English one – I had to download newly. I think Microsoft has update their SP3 installer.
This morning, finally I had time to update my own computer. I go to microsoft website first to check if there is a new updated of SP3 – I downloaded the most updated – dated June5, 2008 in this page. I put in my desktop and run it. It went through by itself – then I restarted and …. everything OK!! No more problem. I was worry since my computer is quite “dirty”, it has so many programs. Thanks God!
I think Microsoft really did improve their SP3. Anyhow, if you do it yourself, don’t forget to make backup before installing the SP3, and make sure you have the latest installer.
