YoKenny Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I have updated my XP Home and Pro systems to SP3 as soon as it became available from Windows Update and they both work without problems.

Corona Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I have almost all the same programs as you and they all work fine. SP3 is no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunerz Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 In my previous experience, I never had problems regarding conflicting software, rather I had problems regarding registry permissions. I was able to fix it by following this guide. One advice though: turn off most programs running in background such as real-time antimalware. At least you may reduce possible problems brought by running programs because the system cannot terminate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you get the 25 digit key? Standard Hooplah The Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder is a freeware open source utility that retrieves your Product Key (cd key) used to install Windows from your registry. It allows you to print or save your keys for safekeeping. It works on Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, Server 2003, Server 2008, Office XP, Office 2003, and Office 2007 family of products. It also has a community-updated configuration file that retrieves product keys for many other applications. Another feature is the ability to retrieve product keys from unbootable Windows installations. http://magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder Borrow a friend's CD and use your key but I doubt it will be necessary.
