    I recently had my hard drive replaced with a clean install of WinXP home.
    I installed all previous updates (100+) with the exception of SP3. Do you foresee any problems I might encounter with SP3? I would hate to mess up my nice clean computer. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks for your words of encouragement DomLuc. I'll say a little prayer and just do it. LOL

    You could have saved yourself a significant amount of time and effort by simply installing Service Pack 3 right after you completed the re-install of Windows. This is because SP-3 contains ALL of the previous updates released before April 2008.

    That would have reduced the total number of updates to about 21. (SP-3 and the 20 or so critical updates released after April 2008)
