Kills the DVD drive and stopped me using USB drive instead. Haven't tried any other USB devices yet. Should I be hopeful?

Also getting the networking issues. It can see other PCs but wont allow anyone in at all.

Am removing SP3.

Microsoft should really have learnt a thing or 2 by now, same thing with SP2... I held off installing that for months in the end.

After installing XP SP3 SQL Express 2005 will no longer let remote users connect. Error message contends that remote access is not setup, when in fact it is! Thanks, MS....

When I open Outlook 2003 the inbox messages blinks. If I open new email the curser blinks and the text is delayed showing up on the screen. The hour glass is also visible where the cursor is. Service Pack 3 was automaticly installed because I am using One Care.

Is there a way to stop the blinking and fix the email?

I have a problem connecting to my network after updating to service pack 3. My other comps can no longer see the computer on the net work but I have a shortcut to the computer on my laptop and i can access the files on the computer with SP3 on it.

I also have some hanging issues now and this comp is not AMD it is intel.

If you know of a fix for the network thing pls let me know.
