    Win XP Home hangs during SP3 update.

    Under 1 year old build machine. Nothing fancy, but decent AMD X2 based PC for general use.

    It hangs when it’s in the finishing installation stage. I had to reboot and allow the automatic recovery to take place.

    Anyone experienced this one yet?

      it happened with mine. I rebooted it and it did again, so I just let it sit and after about ... 2 hours ... the upgrade finished.

          I did the same thing, but after letting it sit overnight, I gave up on it.

              Just an idea:

              There was one screwup with HP AMD machines because HP left Intel drivers in their image.
              SP3 screwed up such machines, there's a resolution, do a search.

                      ...If you have not yet installed SP3, make sure you disable, or better yet, remove, any anti-malware suite before doing so. If you do not, it is possible that you will get various kinds of corruption during the installation......

                      ...and without it you'll get a various malware installed without noticing it.....

                          Had to reinstall, all good after that.
