After downloaded the new Service Pack 3 my system went to a restart (which is usual) but upon the startup my system locked up, I could not access the restore option to an earlier date, thus i was forced to lose a years worth of information, only option I got was to restore the system back to its original state when it was new.
System;
Computer; Compaq SR1923WM, AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3500T
Memory; 3 gigs
Graphics; Nvidia 8500GT
Sound; Hercules Fortimisso III 7.1
Hard Drive; ST3120213AS
All drivers are of the newest versions.
I read this is an issue with Compaq machines and Service Pack 3 if so is there a way around it so SP 3 can be installed? Or just avoid this download?
