Took a total of 2 hours on my laptop including download & installation - then the next time i rebooted my computer found that it had deleted my all my internet connection & ISP settings & i couldnt connect to the internet - ended up having to do an emergency recover on my computer to get internet & ISP settings back - mine is staying on XP SP2 now

Id do new pc installs with SP3 now.
When starting with this as a base, it does seem quite stable from what Ive found.
Now .. Vista Service Pack 1 ... AFPMSL![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)

After installing XP SP3 I had a problem with the windows update but adding the following to the trusted sites makes it work:
http://*.update.microsoft.com
https://*.update.microsoft.com
http://download.windowsupdate.com
http://*.update.microsoft.com
https://*.update.microsoft.com
http://download.windowsupdate.com

Just downloaded it, took about 15-20mins to download/install and then restarting took about 2-3mins then back on with no problems at all, *touch wood*

well after 2 hours i gave up ctrl/alt/del and restarted, blue screen came up saying rebooting previous config as setup was interrupted, ran a wizard for something. went to windows update and installed it from there, took about 30 mins. all now running fine!

Havent noticed any difference so far really, have you? not done a reboot to check boot up speed yet but just knowing im up to date is good enough for me, wasnt expecting anything spectacular to happen.
