XP Service Pack 3: To install or Not install?
Microsoft recently released their latest Service Pack for Windows XP (3) and the results of this release have been mixed.
We wrote weeks ago that we recommend folks hold off on installing SP3 until we had some time to examine the various issues that are bound to come from such a major update.
As we work with our clients around the country and monitor the issues being posted online, it is clear that some percentage of users is being negatively impacted by the installation of SP3.
Listen in as the Data Doctors discuss all the latest findings, patches, do's and don'ts when it comes to Windows XP's Service Pack 3.
Join us every Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. You can post questions on
Facebook
or e-mail your questions during (or before) the broadcast using the
ask a question page.
