From: PJK on 20 May 2008 15:25 Thanks again for your advice. After getting XP back to its pre-update state, performing other clean-up, and suspending anti-virus as well as any other programs protecting registry keys, the SP3 update was successfully applied. I used the on-line Windows Advantage Authetication scan to get around a persistent problem in Windows Update with the tool update and thereby reacquired the capacity to use Windows Update for the follow-on updates. Initial slowness in updated System was sourced to cpu hogging and disk fragmentation as you suggested in other posts. A few programs had to be reinstalled for better and/or more orderly performance. A few others had to be excepted from virus scanner and/or the OS firewall for the moment. Windows Defender was removed. One legacy program is broke but can be fixed. Though XP SP3 performance has improved, it is still slower in user-interface response than XP SP2 at this writing. I'll just keep grooming the system. Thank you again for your help. -- Paul Keller
