yeah after i saw your post i researched it... duh

then i thought, should i install SP3 on my brand new laptop running WinXP SP2?
answer: prolly better not, given the way i discovered it (via this thread)

"Way to go, Microsoft, releasing the pile of dung called SP3 that hoses your system so bad even Safe Mode isn't working!" said a user identified as Mike Voss. "Props to your QA guys, they certainly have done their job."

I was going to put SP3 on but I have read some dodgy reports about it so I will wait until the bugs are sorted.

I installed SP3 a couple hours ago. ActiveSync and everything else I've tried seems to be working fine. The only problems I've heard of was with AMD processors, but I have an Intel CPU.

my winhomexpsp3 has misery with activesync ...tried old ones and new ones to no avail ...when I click on connection settings the box crashes instantly and reboots giving either a message it recovered from a serious fault or giving me the black screen asking how to boot or else rebooting normally ...however, my laptop right next to it having winxpprosp3 works fine with activesync ...wazzat? I need my ppc to work ...neebodee got any ideas?

you mean other than get rid off SP3, right?

bubbah · #18 (**permalink**) 11-29-2008, 05:32 PM

is there any particular component of sp3 that should be removed or is there something else I can do as far as you know? I am shocked there is not a M$ fix given activesync is their own stuff as is sp3 ...watta wonderful world!!
