Somebody help me~~~!

[jayeong]

I am using Windows XP SP3. When I go to Help and Support Centre-> Tools-> My
Computer Information-> Find information about the hardware installed on this
computer and after waiting while information is being collected, I found that
I have THREE Digital Flat Panel (1024x768) and TWO Mobile Intel(R) 945GM
Express Chipset Family when I only have one of each. This is also reflected
in Device Manager.

Also, the drivers for most of the non-Microsoft "obscure" hardware are
"supported" except mxdwdrv.dll (14 October 2006) for Microsoft XPS Document
Writer. I find this baffling as this is from Microsoft, they don't have
proper signed drivers for this!

I also have THREE modems with Manufacturer: and Driver: Unknown. I know one
of them is Bluetooth Modem but I have already disconnected.

What gives!

What gives is that XP SP3 is still in beta and you installed a beta service
pack. So all bets are off.

There is probably a link to where you're supposed to post problems, testing
results, etc. for this beta service pack on the page from where you got it.

SP3 is pre-release software. Unless you are testing I suggest that you
uninstall it and wait until it is completed and released by MS.

Being a pre-release product - there really is not a direct support
option available. You have a few options, however:

Start here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsxp/0a5b9b10-17e3-40d9-8d3c-0077c953a761.aspx

Which can lead you:

and the forums set up specifically for the pre-release product:
http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=2010&SiteID=17

And of course:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...2b2-aab1-b969a62c68a7&DisplayLang=en#filelist

Where you can download it in different languages OR download a script that
sets a registry key on your system so you can get Windows XP SP3 Release
Candidate 2 from the Windows Update web page directly.

I do not recommend installing the pre-release (release candidate 2) on any
machine you are not willing to rebuild from scratch.

Hope that helps!

Is there a problem?

If the issue is multiple listings of the same thing, you can ignore them.

My wife, for example, continues to mention me scratching my nuts with a
salad fork during Thanksgiving dinner with her parents in 1995. I just
ignore it.

You heathen. Everyone knows you use the dinner fork for that. Geez ...
