    - winsxs folder on non-boot partition Yesterday a new Windows folder was created on my D: drive. The directory structure under the Windows folder is: winsxs >> Policies >> x86_policy.8.0.Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_x-ww_77c24773 There is a winsxs folder in the Windows folder on my C: drive. I am aware of the purpose of the winsxs folder and its contents on my C: drive. Why would one have been created on my D: drive? The Windows folder on my D: drive and its contents seem to have been created at the same time that I updated Adober Acrobat to version 7.1.0. There is a x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.163_x-ww_681e29fb folder in the winsxs on my C: drive with the same date and time as the folders created on my D: drive.

    - Restore Point feature inaccessible Using Windows XP Pro. First, I just changed out hard drives, using Western Digital program to partion and copy all from old drive. Seemed to work okay. But I just noticed that I can no longer access Restore Point feature. When I click on create a restore point, I get the following: An exception occurred while trying to run "shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL system.cpl,,4" (I think these commas are commas and not periods. It's a little hard to tell from display here.) Events display also shows Error messages having to do with Event 1000. I checked at MS, but not much info there regarding Restore Feature. I've no idea what's gone wrong and would appreciate any assistance. Thanks, -- Frank88 Tag: How do I repair SP3 ? Tag: 228300

    - Movies are jerky due to excessing paging I use video in presentations and it is jerky when it plays. This started suddenly about six months ago for no apparent reason. I am running XP sp2, 512mb on a Lattitude D610 I used the Performance tool in XP and everytime the video jerked the paging rate was all the way to the top of the scale. I have found that replaying the video eliminates the jerking, so that would indicate a lower paging rate because much of the video is already buffered. AHA, thought I... more memory will solve the problem, so I bought 2GB on sale, put it in, and it behaves EXACTLY the same way. With plenty of memory and all the default media player settings, why am I still paging so much? Tag: How do I repair SP3 ? Tag: 228293

    - SVChost.exe 99% CPU Usage with SP3 installed Hello, I recently installed SP3 on my laptop and desktop PC's running Windows XP Home SP2. Everything was fine for about a week, but last night, both PC's slowed till a standstill and became unusable. The show an instance of SVCHost.exe using 99% of the CPU. I used Process Explorer to narrow the problem down to the Automatic Update service. Stop it and SVCHost.exe goes to 0% usage and System Idle jumps back to 99%. I left the PC on today for 12 hours to see if it was actually downloading something and might "fix" itself. After 12 hours, it was still using 99% for svchost. No network activity light and no hard drive usage; just running the PC full bore. I knew this was a problem that happened to some people a year ago, and there was a fix. However, wasn't SP3 supposed to have all those fixes. Why did this start happenening on two different PC's at exactly the same time,, with both having SP3 installed. Also SP3 was installed from disc, not download and installed with no errors on either machine. Can anyone help me with a solution that will allow me to use automatic updates, and not have svchost.exe use 99% of my CPU. With the problem, it takes 10 minutes to open Explorer, or even 5 minutes just to get a command prompt to come up. Tag: How do I repair SP3 ? Tag: 228269

    - problems with %temp% This question actually started because I found I could not install paint.net 3.31. The installer would create a file folder in D&S\HP Owner\local settings\temp and then flash and quit with no crash file created. Anyway, from a forum on paint.net I was asked to check my temp files by using the command %temp%. When I do that I get the message 'windows cannot find 'C:\Documents... When I manually look for the folder through my computer the temp file is where it should be. It seems that the two situations may be related. I'm sorry to get verbose on this, but I am trying to be clear about my problem. BTW, when I use other %*% commands, such as systemroot they work. I am running WindowsXP home edition with SP3. Celeron 2.8GHz and 1.5MB RAM. I have an 80GB hard drive with 44GB available. The paint.net forum seemed to think my windows installation was corrupted, but everything else works fine, with the single exception of Nexus radio which does install, but crashes every time I attempt to use it. One other note, again on advice from the paint.net forum I have uninstalled qand reinstalled all of my net frameworks from 1.1 through 3.5. Any help or direction on where to look would be much appreciated. Tag: How do I repair SP3 ? Tag: 228261

AFter checking CPU on task manager I came to the boards and from another related thread downloaded Process Explorer. Whike there have been occasional brief breaks, PE tells me that DPC's are taking up about 65-70% of my CPU for hours on end. I am a pretty good user, but not technical enough to follwo what I read. Most of what I can find says that something like this is likley a driver issue. There is nothing in the device manager that shows anything amiss and I cannot find anything in Process Exploere to help me understand how to find what the device is that is hogging the resource.

    - SP3 - Failure to install I have 3 PCs and a laptop all running XP (Home, Pro and Media). Last week I downloaded SP3, and installed it successfully on the 3 PCs - but installation on the laptop failed on each of three attempts. On the PCs I simply ran the downloaded file, "WindowsXP-kb936929 SP3-x86-enu.exe", and the install proceeded without a hitch. On the laptop the installation almost completed, then failed with the following popup "Service Pack 3 Setup...." "Access is Denied". SP3 then uninstalled and, following a reboot, the laptop seemed to be working as before. For subsequent attempts I closed all running programs and non-essential processes manually and using "End It All", but the result was the same. The laptop is an Asus F3J (Intel Core 2 Duo 1.66 with 1GB memory & 120GB HDD) running XP Media Centre. I am the Administrator and only user. I am not using a password on start-up.

    - System clock switches from AM to PM or PM to AM by itself This started after my last vacation. I left my computer off for about 12 days. When I returned and started it up I noticed the time was 12 hours slow. I changed the time to the correct one using the atomic clock on my wall, verified by my cell phone and by nist.gov website. I've had to change the time about 10 times a day because it keeps changing itself to the incorrect time, 12 hours in the past. The minutes seem to stay correct, keeping in sync with my atomic clock but the PM/AM or AM/PM is always the opposite. I've changed the time in BIOS. I've changed the time in command prompt. Both times using military time. I can't find how to change my windows lock to 24 hour mode to maybe fix this but that's not what I need. I've run 2 anti-spyware programs and neither found any issue I wasn't already aware of (such as some programs starting when windows does, which I need them to). I didn't install or remove any programs before or after shutting the computer down for that 12 day period. I've changed the CMOS battery. The one I took out has perfect voltage as does the new one. I've unchecked 'auto adjust for dst'; sync with windows and/or time.nist but it won't sync. When it did sync a day after this issue started, it synced 12 hours slow. My PC is custom using AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual 4600+ at 2.4GHz with 2GB RAM. I'm running WinXP SP2 Home. ** I am now looking at my system properties and it shows my processor is at 1.00GHz.

I logged on as myself and the same happened. I checked Default User profile and saw that all this incorrectness was because it was all in the Default User profile.

    - Back Up From other posts I can see that the back up will not work with a cd. Is backing it up to another drive (d) the only way to back up my files besides buying an external hard drive. How do I back up to the d drive. And if I have a system crash, wouldn't that drive also crash? Tag: How do I repair SP3 ? Tag: 228089

    - disk drive problem My laptop hard drive had problems with corrupt sectors. Chkdsk found several bad spots on the disk and when it tried to reboot, XP would only come part way up and hang. Same result in safe mode. I got a replacement disk and XP load. Now I'm trying to recover some files from the old drive by putting it in the ultrabay of my Thinkpad. The disk shows up in the Device Manager but nowhere else. I can't see it in the Disk Management utility, under My Computer, from a CMD window using DISKPART, etc. I just want to reformat the drive and move on. Any help on making this drive visible again?

XP Home w/SP3

I just had SP3 installed via Windows Update.
It went just fine. Installed without errors.

But I use XPize and decided it would be a good
idea to uninstall it before I rebooted. All I could do was
sit and watch as it replaced many of the brand new
SP3 DLLs with the old SP2 DLLS from XPize's backup
cache. Ugh. If I had rebooted without uninstalling XPize,
it probably would have replaced them anyway.

The reboot went fine. There appears to be no problems.
Everything works fine. Does this mean those DLLs were not
replaced ? Or they were but things still work with the old DLLs
and I'm not getting the benefits of the newer ones ?

How do I repair (if possible) the SP3 update
so I can get back those new SP3 DLLs ?

I know they are still in the Windows directory
somewhere but I don't know where and anyway
I don't have a list of the ones XPize replaced.

Thanks for any help.

Download the IT installation file for SP3 and just install it again.
