XP - SP3

Hello Alistair,

I've already posted this in the "So Do we really need sp3?" thread, but just
to bring you up to date:
"Something that the tech had me do differently than I did on my own last
week
before installing SP3 was to use MSCONFIG to uncheck Process SYSTEM.INI,
Process WIN.INI and Load Startup Items in the Selective Startup portion of
the General Tab. The only two boxes I left checked were Load System
Services
and Use Original Boot.ini.

Then I went to the Services Tab and put a tick mark in the Hide All
Microsoft Services check box. Whatever was left, I then clicked on the
Disable All radio button.

THEN, I began the SP3 installation. After the SP3 installed and rebooted I
already had connectivity without manually trying to connect. He had me do
a
second reboot to make sure I had connectivity, which I did.

Finally, I went into MSCONFIG and selected Normal Startup, and once more
rebooted.

All is fine now. :->"

I'd call Microsoft on this issue--I believe Engel has posted the information
in another message here in the last few days.
