  Shall we have something like this?

  By the way, is it safer to install it in Safe Mode rather than normal mode?

  I think it's alright to install in normal mode

  So far there are no bad reviews of installing in normal mode.

  except for some which says they cannot install.

  Is there any issues with SP3 XP taking quite some time to log in at the login screen?The moment you press enter assuming the right password the box will remain greyed and it will take several seconds for it to finally log in?

  Just disable all your security programs before installing. Some may block and result in a corrupted install.

  Those with Norton uninstall it before installing SP3. SP3 corrupted Norton's registry entries.

  Think it is necessary to add on SP3? Sorta think that SP3 doesnt give significant improvements lehs....or does it?

  U cant exactly see security...although by installing SP3...we might need an SP4 very soon.
