Windows XP SP3 Does NOT Play Nice with 3rd Party Applications

After downloading WinXP SP3 system went Haywire. Thought Id post my
findings for people to see and comment on. Its easier to view visually
so I added some graphics on a webpage.

Im not sure if Microsoft is trying to drive people to Live Onecare,
but the evidence is starting to point that way.

Ramesh,

Suggestion: Convert all those .BMP files in your site to .JPG, which =
will reduce the file size to a great deal.

Each BMP is about 1.4 MB. When converted to .JPG it comes to about 130 =
KB.

Ramesh --> I switched the pictures to JPG's. They are distorted but
visible. I used old MS photo editing software to enhance it. Geocities
will be happy because the Free version only allows 4.2MB/Hour
downloads- nothing essentially.

PA Bear --> If I cant get this stuff to work out on my own I'll call
MS Tech Support. Thanks.
