SP3 doesn't include every hotfix that Microsoft released prior to the service pack itself. You can install older hotfixes by changing the registry key that reports the Windows service pack version. This approach should be used with caution, as you can cause problems by using it. If my memory is correct, look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows with the registry editor and change the value of the CSDVersion key from "300" (indicates SP3) to "200" (indicates SP2). Then you can install your hotfix and see if it helps. It's quicker than uninstalling SP3... William

For a couple of month ago, I had to do a clean install with XP, sp3, and all my favourite apps. It was working from start, -so I forgot everything about drivers. besides Nvidia of course. Well - there is a minor problem: From time to time, the flashcard reader is dead: but I can fix that by restarting XP. My question is: should I reinstall all drivers on top of this system in the right order, or do I have to do a clean-install again???

SP3 is >>> confirmed to be installed. >>> > > Yes - that was one of the first things I installed. > "one of the first things" was not the question as i stated and that others also stated since it was ignored in your replies. the question is if the chipset driver was the first thing that you installed after windows completed installing. you also ignored several of my other points. you probably should re-read what i originally wrote. and you might want to at least pretend to be appreciative to both people that might potentially give you some guidance or to those that have. i can't imagine why anyone would bother helping you again. |
