Many thanks Cluberti, i'll try that and let you know how I do. Will disabling it have any knock on effects to my pc? (sorry if I sound like an a**)

Hi all, I know most of yu have not had problems with installing SP3, but I have. I have a desktop compaq with AMD processor (64 processor). I've had SP2 with all updates and I'd like to think that I know a little bit about computers. When I installed SP3, it kept rebooting and this problem is real to a lot of people. There seems to be a lot (a hell of a lot) potential fixes, everything from the drivers being bad to there being a full moon, so my question is this, if I wait, will there be a SP3 build that doesn't require me to waste four hours of my life reinstalling, installing and so on and so on, or do I have to try to find the solution myself by trying out the possible solutions one by one? Many thanks -
