Have YOU updated (if your still using XP <-- what the hell?)

Edit: I mean seriously... what the hell?

Nope, not yet, lol.

I'm loading it on to a laptop as we speak.

It's nothing special.

Doesn't seemed to have made a difference to my laptop... oh well...

I don't think it did anywhere near as much as SP2 did. Still haven't done it myself.

I sold that laptop for £100 so I'm happy.

windows xp sp3 works perfectley for me, is it supposed to have performance increases?
oh yeah btw how do i add profile pictures and stuff because im new to this and confused

I don't know about performance increases, but there are general fixes etc. However, there's lots of people saying it broke their computer, but if it's working fine for you, you should be ok.

As for avatars and stuff, Click on User Control Panel at the top and mess around there. Need any more help, feel free to ask.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 has some problems on HP machines with custom HP mainboards apparently. I know not much more than that though...

lol i'm to lazy to even upgrade to SP2.
so ha to everyone who's having problems.

SP2 is worth it, and you must have a really old Windows disc not to have it automatically, lol.

my windows disk is maybe 2 years old. didn't think it had any of the service packs. i'll check

Well it should have both on

Yea, should have both seeing that XP SP2 came out in Oct '04.

i don't often read what i buy lol.
when i built my PC i just put XP into ebuyer and hit buy on the top result ^^
being lazy ftw!

I installed SP3 about a week after it was released. I had no problems with it.

(To Si) I don't see how you can say "what the hell"
XP is a very good operatin system. Better than vista IMO anyway. And its easy to make it looks just as good with a few simple GUIs.

Vista is pretty solid nowadays, even the 64bit versions. I can understand keeping it on an old machine, but you should be installing HP64 on all new machines, IMO.

Still haven't installed SP3, btw, though it is in Windows Update now.
