Contra-indications of SP3 on XP?

[Pob]

JUst wondered if anyone has noticed anything unusual in PVRX2 after installing SP3, which is now being pushed out by Microsoft update.
After I installed it, I noticed two things; firstly whilst watching TV I get the 'whats playing' on-screen graphic popping up all by itself every so often, as if I am pressing {ctrl}B. Secondly I had a recording half fail today - the program was on from noon until 1pm, but the recording stopped at 44 minutes. After some delay the recording started again but I missed a fair chunk...

Service Pack 3 introduces changes with the Networkprotocols. I could imagine, that these changes can interrupt between the RecordingService of GB-PVR.

For me i have deinstalled the Service Pack 3 final. After a lot of "pre Finals" Microsoft couldn't fix a problem, with my mainmachine experienced:
After installing SP3 my Machine lost it's free HDD-Space on the Windowspartition! Within a few hours disappeared nearly 10 GB HDD Capacity. If i then restart my machine, the space is there again... for a short timeperiode (same as before -> minute per minute i lose memory on the HDD).

A friend had more troubles: Non working Keyboarddrivers (Specialfunktions, Multimediakeys), disappearing FireWire Connection. And the disabled OnBoard Sound (within BIOS) was after the installation of SP3 not any longer "hidden" in the devicemanager of Windows.

Service Pack 3? No thanks. There are better ways to bring people to Microsoft Vista, instead to sabotage running and stable Windows XP Systems. Nice try, next one please.

Hi,

I have been running SP3 from beta to final and have had nothing but good things with the final. I am running a stock AMD 3200 on an ASUs board with 1GB memory, so nothing out of the ordinary.
It did an upgrade after removing SP3 beta and everything just worked.
So I guess you were unlucky.

I have an issue which may be down to Sp3. I had been running a Twinhan DVB-S card and a sweetspot RGB aquisition card side by side in SP2 for years.

Now after installing SP3 the two cards have become confused. Windows thinks the DVB-S card is a sweetspot card. I have removed the sweetspot card and it still thinks the DVB-S card is a sweetspot card.

Never had this problem before.

May be down to SP3. Luckily I made a disk image before installing SP3 so I am able to go back SP2 and hopefully the confuseion will be gone also. Bloody pain though.
