Sorry to hear of your Microsoft woes Mike, very frustrating, my works PC drives me mad sometimes. However thanks for the warning, I will certainly avoid SP3 on the works system.
Now of course is your ideal time to move to Apple and leave all this sort of crud behind.

I don't have precious files on the main drive of my main PC so installed SP3 anyway after shutting down the spyware and anti-virus software. I didn't have any problems except one of the additional updates on "Windows Update" hanged itself, fixed by downloading and installing separately.
I'm at that frustrating level of competence where I know more than enough to get by and get into trouble, but still not enough to sort things easily.
