Just a quickie. A computer is running Win XP Home SP3 but experiencing problems. Can the installation disk which is SP2 be used for a recovery installation, followed by the SP3 update?
 
Many thanks for very quick reply. The symptoms appear to be occasional freezes when on-line [Firefox latest version], plus rare instances of spontaneous reboot from MS Word.

Usual security checks using updated definitions confirm apparently clean computer system. Problems reported as starting when computer failed during online update from SP2 to SP3. I intend to upgrade using ISO disk.
 
Please run Memtest for at least 7 passes (~4Hrs) for a thorough test of your Ram

Check Start-->Run--> %windir%\Minidump folder for any current Minidumps

Also Check Event Viewer
Start-->Run--> eventvwr.msc
 
Kimsland, that site Repair tutorial doesn't mention the 'F6' keypress at all (although they mention 2x about removing floppies if in the drive).
 
Does Repair require the F6 drivers ? :confused:
I don't think so, because they are already installed
I'll keep providing linking to the thread :)
