Windows Xp Service Pack 3 Review

Posted by Maaruthi on May 6, 2008

oh boy, after a long time I got a chance again to install a bunch of digital fruits (Drivers) - Service Pack 3 for Windows Xp Pro version :D

As usual it took lot of resources when extracting the files. you can download the standalone version from my blog (link).

However, take below precautions before you install the service pack:

  • Exit all Spyware programs.
  • Disable all Antivirus Softwares, please do not try to exit these programs as they may create error messages when you try. so try not to exit Antivirus programs.
  • Exit any Handy CAM softwares - especially task bar icons (Icons like Sony Picture Package Menu)
  • Exit all DVD related softwares in order to avoid .dll crash
  • Exit Lavasoft Ad-Aware program as it may slow down the installation process. Also exit the Lavasoft Ad-Watch program from taskbar, incase if you have enabled it.
  • Disable Local Area Connection (LAN) or Internet Connection.
  • Incase if you are using any Firewall like Zonealarm, Mcafee or Norton, etc., please go into Game Mode before you install SP3

:!: Incase if you experience any error inbetween the setup restart your PC and exit all programs if you have any doubt.
