Cold, Work, and Windows XP SP3

[j1j8]

SP3 never worked with me..

[PlasmaDude47]

Seems like it hasn't worked for a lot of people John!

[PlasmaDude47]

I did go back to SP2 and no problems so far. I looked at vista and wasn't impressed.

[ethan61352]

Same here, i wasnt really in to vista, so i went to all my friends looking for windows Xp and found it and traded. Im using Windows Service Pack 3 and i havent had a problem. are ur updates on or off, cause u will need to update all ur things

[PlasmaDude47]

Yeah all my updates are on. Seems the problem was in my UPS backup, there was a short in it. but SP3 still slowed down my internet connection big time.

[ethan61352]

What are u using ur UPS on, just ur computer or other things?

[PlasmaDude47]

i bought a new one, but it carries the comp, printer, monitor, scanner, moden & wireless router.

[ethan61352]

See u gotta watch using it on somethings. it mainly for ur pc after the power goes and and it keeps the computer lasting 15mins. i think the main thing my teacher said not to use it on was either printers and scanners or monitor. i positive on printer, not sure on scanner.

[PlasmaDude47]

Well i followed the instructions on where to plug all those thing in on the USP so I should be ok now.

mac is is really easy

and windows can get viruses

the only mac cold get them is if you downloaded windows on it

its not more complicated it's just different

[PlasmaDude47]

Well I'm behind a firewall so I don't I need to worry about viruses, but you're right mac's are different.

[xdomaraqx]

i use windows too

they both get you to the same places just different ways

i think that mac is actually easier

and i like the style a little more too.

[PlasmaDude47]

Well i can't afford a mac, plus i have a windows desktop & laptop, so I'll stick with those!

[xdomaraqx]

ya i like windows movie maker better then imovie

most of the effects are better

we have 3 PCs and 1 mac laptop

[PlasmaDude47]

I'm still learning how ti use windows movie maker, lol! Wow you have a lot of comps!

[xdomaraqx]

there pretty much he same basic concept

macs are more smooth and have more pixels

[PlasmaDude47]

W have a Macintosh at work they use in the art department, it does look awesome. Of course I don't get to use it ,lol

[xdomaraqx]

ya there good for that kind of stuff

it plays movies and games really good too

[PlasmaDude47]

So I've heard!

[PlasmaDude47]

Can't afford a Mac, and was told that linux can be complicated for someone is new to it. So I'll stick windows for now.

System Restore is a handy utility, but it only saves so many restore points. As it makes new ones, it removes old ones. If you install something that creates a problem you don't notice for awhile, it's very possible the restore point from before you installed it will be gone.

[PlasmaDude47]

Oh so that's how it works I didn't know that. Good info to pass along, thanks. anyway things are working alot better now, no more unexpected shut downs.

[Vatsek]

You talk too much to your computer, and it got upset!

[PlasmaDude47]

lol, probably!

[Vincent745]

also, don. if you want to remove SP3, then just go into your control panel > add/remove programs > and then remove Service Pack 3. if that fails, then maybe consider reformatting your computer and backing up your files before doing reformatting?

[PlasmaDude47]

that's what I did, I didn't have to reformat thank goodness.

[Vincent745]

Oh, okay. great! You can uninstall any Windows Update you want in the Add/Remove programs. Glad you fixed it.

[PlasmaDude47]

Yup and thanks me too.

[Vincent745]

nothing wrong with my computer. hope you get yours fixed.
