SP3? Or my own Mistake?

Alright i have been having problems with my browsers connection lately and it all seem to have started durning and after my installation of Windows Service Pack 3.

Lets Begin Shall we, I start the Installer and while thats going you get the little message "You can continue to work while windows blah blah…" and im like okay cool whatever and so i start up FF…well it crashs…and im like?? wtf..so i dont bother and i just use opera till it finished installing. Well it all goes good took forever to DL their servers were so slow that day and i just turn my crap off after it all finishs.

SO, the next time i get on my computer…i start up FF it crashs…i try again, it crashs..im like WTF MATE!? and so i try Opera, Opera takes a while to respone…then i get "Cannot connect to Proxie Server" and i was like PROXIE1?!? im not going through a proxiie so i F12 and disable Proxies…it works..i go to network config to see if i forgot about a proxie i set, what do you know? no proxie, i check the same in IE7 and FireFox both got proxie errors yet neither using proxies YET! opera could turn it off and FF would work Yet IE7 wouldnt. W T F

So i was thinking okay, Maybe its a FF extension i have..trouble shot all my extensions, turns out the Mcafee Site advisor was making it crash Disabled it…SAME PROBLEM it wouldnt crash but it couldnt connect till i unchecked the "Disable Proxies" with Opera.

But games and stuff was working and my Chat programs were working fine, Till last night i started up the WOW crack. "Could not connect to Server" WTF is going on.

I managed to Fix the FF and Opera issues…didnt bother/didnt care about IE7. But now i cant get ANYTHING outta wow it cant connect and well this is buggin the CRAP outta me cuz i have been trying to fix crap and troubleshooting for the past couple days now.

Any Help/Suggestions would be awesome thanks ~CisSlayer

windows xp SP3 totally screwed my system… more than yours. It now has an endless reboot loop without any BSOD, or friggin error. MS sucks. Luckily I got Ubuntu/XP dual boot.

LINUX PWNZ! :happy:;)

Yea do you have a AMD Processor? I was Looking through some SP3 Bug forums and it was saying Bad coding or whatever was causing CPU problems with AMD processors and causing constant rebooting.

Nope I have an Intel…

I was also on there forums (http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=2010&SiteID=17) and have been reading some posts… it's mainly with AMD/HP pcs. Mines a HP but not AMD based.

You should ask your questions on that forum and will likely get a good answer

I've installed the XP SP3 onto a test box at my work experience placement, it's working fine at the moment.

SP3 installed fine on one of my SP2 boxes (not that it broke the other one, I just didn't put it on yet).
