trackback
Last night, I decided to bring a PC online that had been an offline gaming system for a year or so. Naturally, I was quite excited to see XP SP3 available from Windows Update.
Much to my dismay, upon restarting, my machine went into continuous reboots. So I rolled back using System Restore.
Much to my surprise and pleasure, I noted that Microsoft had, apparently in response to several issues, like continuous rebooting, revised SP3.
Ah-HA! Victory is mine! I excitedly went back, redownloaded and reinstalled SP3.
And now?
Continuous rebooting. Again.

You too?!?
MS stinks in such massive fashion it’s astonishing.
Cheers!
