no no, the author actually meant that after applying sp3 some problems came up and did system restore
neverhless, run registry cleaner or preferably wise registry cleaner 1st. if still problem then format drive C and install fresh xp sp3 {i find no problem with the december version} or install latest assasin version that is posted to gain in ram and play games smoothly! , and then run registry cleaner. uninstall most recently installed apps in other drives and run antivirus and antispyware thanx 4 the suggestions but i got it workin again

Try 2 return your SP 2 but what is the memory of ur Pc?
What you can do is do a fresh installation
Buy new pc
Try install services xp2 back..
Freshly install your sp 2. May loose your data tho if they are in the same partition.
Windows 7 ultimate is far better.
The issue's that your boot files are corrupt. so run repairs
Format and do a fresh installation. Update your bios as well.
sounds 2 me like boot files are corrupted. run repair from xp cd and type fix mbr and fix boot. uninstall service pack 3 from control panel, add/remove programs. update via internet dnt use a disk ive come accross a disc thats corrupted many a times.
