Hello,
My computer is HP Compaq dx2280 MT. Pentium[R] D CPU 2080GHz; 2079 GHz, 504
MB of RAM. Preloaded with Windows XP Professional with SP2.
I regularly download Microsoft Malicious software removal tool and run
entire system scan once a month. I've anti virus, malware removal software
and a firewall.
I never had any problem with the computer until SP3 came into my life. Ever
since then, I've sent a minimum of 50 to 60 error reports a day to Microsoft
for 2 months, but the gods presiding there have not shown any mercy on me.
The situation now is, I've reformatted the hard disk and reloaded windows xp
last week. The accounting software,and tax software were working normally
until SP3 was installed by windows automatic update system. Then the problems
began once more. I've now read at Microsoft knowledge base about the steps to
be taken before installing SP3. The problem is, when you put the system on
automatic updates, at least I didn't know until after SP3 was installed.
Now, I intend to run check disk, then again reformat and reload windows xp.
I request the techies here to give me a run down of variuos steps to be taken
before, during and after installing windows os to avoid any kind of trouble
in future. I know today is Sunday, but keeping my fingers crossed and hoping
to get some help. Want to complete all the operations and be ready for work
tomorrow.
Thanks for your help.
PS: Don't mind the language as you know I'm a bit emotionally upset at the
moment.
