Yes I did come for help...I asked what does SP3 do,what's the difference? I'm asking a question,so I can have some insight on what its purpose is.I'm asking question hoping to gain some knowledge of the problem.So why do I need SP3?

Take a look at this post to start: The value of installing XP SP3 vs. SP2 + updates
There's much value in SP3...
SP3 Value
LookAround,I thank you for directing me to an earlier post of yours.I have an older system though,and I read people personal experiences with SP3. But I will take your advice and install it. So will that possibly narrow down my audio/video problem? Because with audio I have no video,without audio I have video.Thanks

btw.. There are things to consider when reading other people's reviews/comments about SP3: when were their comments written? and "which SP3" were they commenting on?
Of course, there's still no guarantee that this will fix your problem. Let us know how things look after the upgrade. And can take a look again if need be once we know you're running on an SP3 base
- Many people installed pre-releases of SP3. Not surprisingly, those people were finding problems trying to use a version that was not yet officially released
- Of course, once SP3 was officially released, there were still some problems in some specific cases. But that official release was a year ago so all of those problems have also been fixed.

As Tmagic650, points out be sure you've installed all the Windows Updates (both critical and all hardware optional).
1) When you run Windows Update click the Custom button and install all the critical and hardware optional updates it finds (software optional are at your choice)
2) Also be sure to continue to keep running windows update until it finally answers "no more udpates"
If your problem continues after doing the above let us know and we can check your drivers at that point
