SP3

[Jim]

I updated SP3 using Widows Update. Started receiving Windows Delay write
error messages also my HP C5280 All-in-one stopped working. Tried to reload
print drivers. System could not find drivers. Uninstalled SP3 and received
write delay error on C:/Windows/Servicepacks/i386/query.dll

Windows install does not work now and after a reboot. SP3 shows still
installed.

Any ideas on where to go from here?

What hard disk drive controller do you have?
Do you have the latest driver from the manufacturer installed for it?

Not sure what that has to do with this problem. All was working fine on SP2
then SP3 downloaded and problems are happening. Need to know how to get back
to clean SP2. NO, (NADA, None) devices listed in Device Manager. The system
is a Dell Dimension 4600 with a 40GB drive. All drivers have been kept up to
date from DELL.

Got any ideas on how to get this thing back SP2? I saw some posts about
going to safe mode and un install. Not sure that will work in this
environment. Would need some guidelines on how to do this.
