KB 888372 - “Stop 0x0000007E” errors with XP SP3 on AMD systems - fixable

This seems to be the #1 issue seen in the field so far with XP SP3 and typically, unfortunately, relates to OEM XP installations that includes the Intel CPU driver on machines that are clearly AMD based. Previous to SP3, this would not cause problems

Dlaczego nie używam antywirusa

Na moich komputerach od dłuższego czasu nie ma antywirusa (rezydenta). Po prostu w moim przypadku taki antywirus jest nieco szkodliwy. Poza tym bez antywirusa można całkiem nieźle żyć.Dlaczego nie używam antywirusa Nie używam antywirusa z kilku

I have noticed that there are other issues with sp3. Don't know if it's still related to the ASUS/AMD kombination or something else. This weekend I bought and installed Rainbow 6: Las Vegas 2 on my computer running sp3. And the game was unplayable at any setting with graphic artifacts and long delays etc. This despite having sufficient hardware to run the game (Nvidia 7900GT, 2Gb RAM, Athlon 64 X2 4200+, Raptor 150Gb). After uninstalling sp3 the game ran flawlessly. Currently sp3 is too unstable and flawed to be of any use to me.

I have ATI's version 8.467 driver installed on my AMD Athlon HP computer with XP SP3.

I have not had a boot problems but my computer occasionally blue screens while watching a DVD. The message doesn't stay on the screen long enough for me to read it.

ATI's driver fills up the event log with various error messages. They are aware of the issue but tell you to just use the driver that your PC manufacturer provides because they do not support laptops.

After you install ATI's new driver, the Windows Update site provides the old driver as an update that you can optionally install.

I should also mention this is the second time I got the error 0x80092026 at the Windows Update website. I had to delete the registry key mentioned in KB 555374 ( support.microsoft.com/.../555374 ). After I deleted this key, the Windows Update feature worked again. I never got a warning message that automatic updates were failing (even though they were). I had to go to the Windows Update site to find out.

If someone was writing malware, they could write that registry key to prevent the fixes for any exploits from being patched by Windows Update. The person from secure@microsoft.com who replied to my email did not understand this and instead referred me to technical support. Maybe someone else will have better luck convincing them that this is a problem.

Just to put forward a different point of view - installed Sp3 on 30th April and have had absolutely no problems at all. (XP Pro on an intel processor) Have much sympathy for those with the HP AMD problems etc but surely shouldn't some of the vitriol being directed at Microsoft be redirected at the likes of HP for not setting up the XP installations correctly in the first place.

Hey Harris Chester:

Booting from Symantec Recovery Disk '04/'05 Systemworkd Pro or Ghost 10 disk allows you to see sata and manipulate files. I always boot with USB drive attached with files that I need "pre-extracted" and renamed for easy cut and paste. -Axlehead, Rhogarth@foundrycove.com
