[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 13771, member: 250"] I have had service pack 3 loaded & running fine since 1st July. on my trusty old laptop, an old SONY jobbie... running XP Professional also on the kids Dell desktop.. running XP Home. I think the Dell was also updated around beginning of July. The updates usually verify themselves when they run and log a success or failure on your update history.. was this with Automatic updates enabled? Have you tried going manually to Windows update site. You should be able to view update history... with an option from the Left hand side.. see if the update site thinks it failed??? [URL="http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us"]http://www.update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us[/URL] I cant remember but I think SPack3 needed a restart part-way though or at the end to complete the update... Has you PC got stuck part way though the process? Did anyone mess with it while it was still loading? You could try manually restart the update. but sit with it.. watch what happens see if any errors come up? If there was a major problem with Spack 3 a further update would probably be out by now!! So I am inclined to think it is a PC related problem not the updates! ?:| [/QUOTE]
