| 1126508 | 2010-08-12 04:37:00 | So, you would rather run a fast, dangerously un-secured Windows system, than one with some chance of surviving intact?:illogical A good software firewall, anti-virus etc. and sensible cruising and I don't see it as being that dangerous without the latest updates. On my PC Windows XP would run like a dog but PCLinuxOS2010 is sweat. I have tried adding more memory but it is very fussy about what it will accept. |

If I were a Bank or similar I’d be a little more careful, but as it stands all these security fixes cause me as much panic as the Y2K bug, Bird Flu, Swine Flu and Global Warming. :D |

I agree about security vigilance and sensible browsing. I have just added SP2/SP3 and had no viruses in the past. It's just that software I have installed required Microsoft Net and SP2. Funny thing now getting D com alerts from Avast 5, since installing SP3 (might be notifications of updates). Never had any alerts in the past. |

| 1126512 | 2010-08-14 04:28:00 | Right, I am now installing XP onto PC. Drivers have loaded and now there is only the option of loading onto C partition as FAT 32 no NTFS choice. Have I missed something? LL |

| 1126513 | 2010-08-14 04:39:00 | No worries, I did miss something, have now found it and its loading nicely. LL |

| 1126514 | 2010-08-15 01:55:00 | I have installed XP on computer now and want to load the patch sp37394 which I have downloaded, before I install SP3. It tells me that "my system does not meet the requirements needed". :confused: LL |

What happened HP loaded images that were originally made for Intel CPU's onto AMD Computers. When SP3 goes in Using a HP image/recovery CD it loads it thinking its a Intel -- BUT If you install Windows from fresh using a Normal XP CD, then it loads in the correct software. |
