Title: Service Pack 3
Post by: Midnight on August 06, 2008, 10:51:25 AM
So I installed it last night and it caused massive artifacting, lag and lockups when I logged in this morning. Anybody else have this problem?

Always read up when installing a new upgrade. Especially MS OS products. I always wait at least one quarter before even considering installing, even if I'm really excited about the new features/functionality. It takes at least that long to develop bug fixes and patches from user feedback. Save yourself the headache....and let others have them. :rolleyes:
