Issue after installing SP3

[iontrap]

Since installing SP3, everytime I start my computer I get a "Stop Device" box
that says "This application will not run on this Operating System." It
doesn't tell me what application it is and there are no hardware problems
listed in the Device Manager. How can I find out what this application is?

You could try running msconfig and having a look at what is running on
system start up.

Obviously you backed up your machine before applying the SP so you could
always roll back and see if that resolves the issue? At leaset you'll know
for sure then it was SP3 that caused it?

Regards,

Kev
