XP SP3 experiences

[Tomvill]

Had a nasty problem with the video( windows decided to ignore my nvidia driver and run off its default ones) It wouldn't let me reinstall the video driver, windows wouldnt take it I got an error that the driver wasn't supported by windows . ? And also the agp chipset driver went missing and wouldnt allow me to reinstall it after service pack 3 but a few reboots and after a few kicks and all if fine now... Weird I have to say..

I'm still having a few minor problems with icons size on desktop windows has decided that their gonna stay the size that they currently are which is pretty small and it won't allow me to make them bigger.. I'll fix it in the morning I'm tired..

I also noticed this morning that sp3 has taken out my msn messenger.. nice because its giving me a hard time about reinstalling..

I just installed SP3 on a clean install of XP Pro SP2 in a Virtual Machine using a legitimate copy of XP Pro and everything seems to have gone fine.

Can't really provide useful input since I hardly ever use the Virtual Machine that i have XP Pro running in.

I've installed SP3 on my rig. It takes about 10-15 minutes to install with no problem, it takes about 10 seconds more to boot (40 seconds on SP2) and have no difference after the boot. Maybe a bit faster when multitasking and really no effects on performance.
