After installing SP3, there are several issues with both Microsoft and Non-Microsoft applications. One common issue is with the device manager if you have Norton 2008 installed on the computer.

Here are the steps to resolve this issue by uninstalling Norton

When you attempt to upgrade to Windows Vista, you may get error “Go to programs and uninstall WindowBlinds.”

This error might continue even after uninstalling the program “Stardock WindowBlinds” from Add or Remove programs. If so, what is the remedy?

Search for the folder Startdock in C:\Program Files. If you find it, delete the folder or rename the folder.

What if you have problem in uninstalling the program from Add or Remove programs?

You can try removing the program from registry.

Start -> Run -> Regedit -> Ok.

Locate HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Starduck.

Look for UninstallString on the right pane after you select Starduck.

Double click on UninstallString, copy the file path.

Start -> Run -> Paste the file path that copied -> Ok.

After this, Remove the Starduck folder from the C:\Program files.

Reboot the computer.

You should be able to upgrade to Windows Vista successfully.

Hi guys,

I installed Internet Explorer 8 Beta on my computer and then installed the latest Service Pack from Microsoft (SP3). After installing Windows SP Service Pack 3, I was not able to uninstall Internet Explorer 8 Beta.

I had some issues with the IE8 Beta Product and I wanted to uninstall it. So, I went to Add or Remove Programs, searched for the IE8 Beta to uninstall it, but I didn’t have an option to uninstall it. Tried to search the internet for some kind of uninstall tools and Knowledge Base Articles, and one search string took me to a KB (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950719/en-us) which said that I need to uninstall Windows XP service Pack 3 and then uninstall Internet Explorer 8 and then reinstall Service Pack 3. I followed the KB religiously and after that I was not able to boot to my desktop. I then had to do some more troubleshooting to first fix my copmuter from that no boot situation. Thus, don’t try the steps that are in the Knowledge Base.

Steps to uninstall Internet Explorer 8 Beta from the computer:

Note: These steps are only for Windows XP with Service Pack 3.

1) Click on Start, click on my computer.

2) Browse to C:\WINDOWS\

Note: You will have to unhide the files and folders:

a. Start Windows Explorer. To do this, click Start, click Run, type userinit.exe , and then click OK.

b. Click Tools, and then click Folder Options.

c. Click the View tab.

d. Click Advanced Settings.

e. Under Hidden files and folders, click Show hidden files and folders, click to clear the Hide Protected

Operating System files (recommended) check box, andthen click OK.

3) Double click on the folder “ie8″.
4) Double click on the folder “spuninst”.
5) Double click on the executable “spuninst.exe”.

Follow the prompts and then click on “Finish” to restart the computer.

Your Internet Explorer will roll back to the previous version (IE7 or IE6).

Enjoi ur Day…
