Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 1 / May 2008before installing sp3 should I do it on a clean sp2 setup?
Whenever I install my spsp2 disc I always do a lot of minor changes to make it work the the I want it to. Is it better to go ahead and do that before I insall sp3 or should I install sp2 and then immediately install sp3 and then do the changes? We are talking about minor stuff here like the way folders appear and the colors and all those sorts of things. Also I just installed sp3 on another machine and noticed I have two items listem under HKLM runonce but the just stay there. Does that mean they will run every time, is something wrong or should I just ignore it. They are netfxupudate v 1.1. 4322 and srepostpone part of my zone alarm software. Everything seems to be working ok but I like to know whats going on. Many thanks for any ideas.

Install XP. Install your video and audio drivers and chip set if there's a question mark in Device Manager for the chip set. I then install Crap Cleaner then and do a clean up, disk check and defrag. Then install SP3. Reboot TWICE. Do a clean up, chkdsk and defrag. Then the updates. Then your programs, with your anti virus, real time anti malware programs, etc. last. Then the devices like your printer, camera and scanner. Do another clean up, chkdsk and defrag. Then tweak to your heart's content.
