| Fix arrives for AMD machines attacked by XP SP3 A KINDLY GEEK has produced a free tool to resurrect AMD machines borked by installing Service Pack 3 for Windows XP. The fault affects mainly HP machines with an OEM splash screen and a number of Asus mobos, to which XP refuses to talk on the grounds that they're not fully ACPI compliant. Jesper, over at msinfluentials, has a handy tool you can get your hands on for nothing which is said to fix the problem. Not having tried it ourselves, we cannot say for sure if it works or not, but if you've got a dead AMD system, whaddya got to lose? http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquir...hines-attacked

| Re: Fix arrives for AMD machines attacked by XP SP3 M$ has a simple fix, for the situation where the problem is caused by the manufacturer (e.g. HP) loading an image that was created on a system with an Intel cpu onto a system with an AMD cpu: You receive a Stop 0x0000007E error message after you upgrade to Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 3 on a non-Intel-processor-based computer Regards, -- Al
