Windows Service Pack 3

alright so.. for the past.. as long as i can remember.. i've been having trouble with my comp. trouble in the form of it crashing when i do ANYTHING graphical.. for example.. my emulator, if i play a game thats too flashy, it would crash my computer.. basically.. causing it to reboot.. only i continuously got an error during the reboots that would cause it to reboot again, inevitably causing an endless cycle of reboots. The same goes for grand chase, but only just slightly. With grand chase, if i solo dungeons, my comp is fine. If i do pvp, its fine PROVIDED i only do 1 vs 1 matches. so i thought "oh, i guess it only crashes if i do something net heavy. but then i tried to solo partusay's sea, and the water graphics there caused my comp to crash.. >.>

anyways, my friend recently got service pack 3 for his windows xp, and today he uninstalled it saying that his computer had turned to a pile of crap ever since he installed service pack 3. so i snooped around my system and found out that i also had service pack 3, then i remmbered installing it FOREVER ago.. and after reverting back to sp2, EVERYTHING on my computer is going like.. 90% faster.. :P

so i was wondering if the crash problems were related to service pack 3.. what im really asking is if anyones ever had any gc problems related to service pack 3.. im about to TRY to run partusay's sea and see if i can make it past the first room.. :P heres the test.. wish me luck.

but while im gone, let me know if theres been any known issues with service pack 3 and grand chase. :P please and thank you. :D:D

I use SP3 and really wnana change to SP2, but when i clicked un-install is said,

- Make sure your firewall is on

- Go to the website and install all critical updates

- Run the latest anti-virus software

I'm no computer wiz, but will this take down my securuity level? Cause i don't wanna get a virus form trying to make my computer run faster.

If your firewalls and stuff all stayed the same tell me please and what that stuff meant up above. Thanks.

 

The problem involving Windows XP Service Pack 3 has been pinned and informed by GM_Kagei at http://forum.ntreev.net/grandchase/forums/1/18778/ShowThread.aspx#18778.

The recommended requirements in the game's main website recommends Service Pack 2 anyways.

And if you were to google Service Pack 3, you'll notice that Grand Chase isn't the only game that has problems running Service Pack 3.
