So, with all the favorable reports, this morning I took the plunge and tried to install Service Pak3.
About an hours worth of downloading, backing up files, installing files and etc. up popped a little Warning Box telling me: “Access Denied! Update Failed.”
It then automatically ran a “Restore Wizard” than worked for about 30 or 40 minutes and then came up with a message something like, “Windows may not run correctly!”
Just think how happy that made me!
A re-boot of Windows brought up the blue screen for a few seconds and my heart leaped to my throat but then it continued as normal and all seems ok. I will not try to install the SP3 again.
