I haven't installed it on any systems here yet... still waiting to let others beta test the final release first... :-)
However, if you want to prevent it from downloading automagically as part of Windows Updates, go here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=68c48dad-bc34-4 0be-8d85-6bb4f56f5110&displaylang=en for the MS Service Pack blocker.... You can run it on your own system: Spreg.cmd . /b Or on a remote user's system - assuming you've got admin access to it: Spreg.cmd machine-name /b Where "machine-name" is the name of the system. If you decide later you want SP3 to be automagically installed, just redo the command but instead of the "/b" use "/u" instead.

When I repeatedly tried to start normally, it failed each time as well as when I chose Last Good Configuration. I ended up having to boot into safe-mode and then do a system restore back to before the SP3 install. The BSOD only flashes on for 1/30 of a second so I can't see what it is. Any ideas? The Compaq Presario Win XP Media Center has all critical updates installed up until SP3.
