File Name:Windows Service Pack 3 patch for AMD Processor

Developer/Publisher: Microsoft

Review:
Description
If you have an AMD processor and are considering upgrading to Windows Service Pack 3 (SP3), then it is important that you apply this patch before SP3. Otherwise, your system may possibly get stuck in a loop of reboots that will stop Windows XP from starting.

On a technical level, there is a problem with the way that the System Preparation (Sysprep) image is created. According to one explanation offered by Microsoft "The problem may occur if the original Sysprep image for Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1), for Windows XP SP2, or for Windows XP SP3 is created on a computer that uses an Intel processor and is then deployed on a computer that does not use an Intel processor. In this configuration, the Intel processor driver (Intelppm.sys) may try to load after the computer is upgraded to Windows XP SP2 or to Windows XP SP3. The driver does this because an orphaned registry key remains from the original Sysprep image." In these cases you may also see the following error messages:

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer...

Technical information:

STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, [number1], [number2], [number3])
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

When Physical Address Extensions (PAE) is enabled, you may receive the following error message: STOP 0x000000FC (ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY)

[number1], [number2] and [number3] listed above will be random, alphanumeric and 10 digits long. However, 0x0000007E and 0xC0000005 will always be present for this type of error. Note 0x0000007E errors have multiple causes, but if it is an AMD processor and you have just installed SP3, there is a good bet that this patch will fix the issue. Ideally the patch should be applied before the Windows XP Service Pack 3.

Review:

Everyone also like free anti virus software to protect their PC. So, BitDefender 10 Free edition perhaps is a good free anti virus for you. BitDefender 10 free edition is the only BitDefender product for free and the best part of this free anti virus comes with the ICSA Labs certified scanning engines found in other BitDefender products ( BitDefender Anti Virus 2008 or BitDefender Total Security 2008 ), allowing you to enjoy basic virus protection for no cost at all.

Meanwhile, the protection functionality of BitDefender 10 free edition is similar like the AVG 8.0

free edition or BitDefender Anti virus 2008 version. But, the only difference from other free anti virus whereby which it doesn’t provides real time protection. It perform virus scanning based on demand scanning only for detection and removal of all viruses in the wild every time you need it.

However, you can plan a scheduled scanning for regular interval scanning full system/drive scans in the off hours, when you won’t be using your computer. Meanwhile, other security features like immediate scanning, scanning report or quarantine also provided.

However, i not really recommended using BitDefender 10 free edition because there are a lot of free anti virus software like AVG Anti Virus 8.0 free edition which provides real time protection for your computer OS. So, the choices still remain on you.

Supporting operating system for BitDefender 10 free edition are Windows 98/ NT-SP6/ Me/ 2000/ XP IE 4.0(+)
