Trying to recover XP after failed upgrade to SP3

I had my system just the way I wanted it and everything I wanted to do
worked.

Then I upgraded to SP3.

SP3 wouldn't boot and nor would safe mode so I had to "repair" my
installation by reinstalling my original SP1 installation disk and
installing SP2 over the top of it.

Sadly my system is nowhere near the state it was in before. Since SP3
caused this problem and SP3 intransigence in not allowing me to remove
it in the usual way has caused a lot of problems that would take me 20
mins to list here ... however

A brief list
RPC server not working. Now partially fixed
DCHP has to be started manually each time I start the machine.
NVIDIA driver installation program doesn't recognise NVIDIA Geforce
FX5200 card and won't install. I have downloaded 4 different drivers
and have the CD driver which will run but still won't fire up the card
upon a reboot.
Drivers are:
71.89_win2kxp.english
91.31_winxp2kmce_english_whql
169.21_forceware_winxp (US version)
169.21_forceware_winxp (International version)
Some programs won't run from links.
AVG email detection disabled.

Specs:
Pentium 4 2.8GHz.
1.25Gb DDR PC2100 Ram


I also have Windows 2000 Professional on the computer and that has no
trouble booting or recognising the graphics card.

Any suggestions?

What makes you think SP3 caused the problem and not virus programs, or
something else? Fire wall?

Usually if sp3 fails its as a result of drivers that are currently installed

Well the computer worked before SP3 was installed and didn't afterwards.
It has problems and I'm going to track them down. However I feel that
will require a level of expertise not available here.

Thanks for that.

I now have the graphics card installed thanks to someone in another
newsgroup and the computer doesn't crash anywhere as frequently as it
used to.

My only trouble now is several services set to automatic are not
starting like they should at boot time.

These services include DHCP, Print Spooler and AVG Email Scanner and
probably several others I am unaware of at the moment.

Does anyone know what might stop those services from starting as normal
and how I can fix them?.

Regards
Bill

Try getting rid of AVG. Reinstall SP3 WITHOUT AVG.

Why should I do that? Are you just guessing now? There doesn't seem to
be many experts in this group. You didn't even try to answer my
question for a start. Do you get a kick out of giving people crap
advice?

Wow! You certainly are psychotic. Keep your problem, ignore all the advice
