The fix worked for my Compaq Presario SR1910NX
system that was just loaded with SP3 and blue screened.
Thanks

I had to rebuild a customer’s HP Pavillion. The minute I installed SP3 – Blue Screen. Many thanks for posting this solution, it worked like a charm.

I have an Hp media center that is 5 years old and upgraded to SP3 and did not have any problems with a blue screen at all

Had that same issue when I had installed that Zone Alarm Forcefield on my Vista machine. Windows would start throw a BSOD then reboot and repeat.

This is one of the (many) reasons I won’t be upgrading to SP3 for at least another 1/2 year. I’m fine with SP2 and I don’t need all these problems on my computer.

I haven't really seen anything that makes the upgrade seem like a must-have either, so I think you're smart for waiting.

I had this issue with my puter, after numerous attempts with no luck I finally did a clean reinstall of the os. Still no joy. Then I found the workaround. I will now wait for ms or hp to fix sp3 so it installs on my puter with no workaround. I read earlier today that should be sometime next week. If I find the link again I will post it.

That's pretty interesting... I had no idea that this Service Pack would break so many things. It seemed like it would be a minor upgrade, but obviously a lot of things have changed under-the-hood.

Sounds to me like it is most certainly HP’s fault. Using an OS image created on an Intel machine to install on their AMD based machines is ridiculous. Don’t they know they use different drivers, or are they just that lazy and cheap?

I was kinda of leaning towards putting the blame on HP as well. This is definitely something that should have never been an issue.

According to a post on the TechNet forums this was also a problem when SP2 came out. Which they provided a registry fix for soon after. But then decided to remove that switch for SP3 http://forums.microsoft.com/Te.....;SiteID=17

I know XP SP2 had quite a few compatibility issues because of all the security additions it put in place. Too bad they weren't able to correct it before the launch of SP3.

All of the computers that I bought were Systemax AMD computers from Tiger Direct, so I would not blame it on HP so quickly.

HP is definitely one of the biggest culprits though. Of course other manufacturers might be partaking in a similar practice, but none of them are probably distributing the volume of computers that HP is.

AS shown per previous comment on May 17th, I gave info and solution, as per Mr. Johannson, on the “workaround” for this SP3 problem BEFORE HP did.

It's nice that someone managed to figure out the solution. I wonder if HP figured it out because of him? ;)
