I have intalled the windows update SP3 3 times and each time, when it
restarts it gives me a message that it can not start windows only in
safe-mode. I have had to recover my system all 3 times to the original
factory settings to get it to work properly. I have shut off my automatic
updates because of SP3 causing my computer to fail. Please advise on this
issue.

See
http://msinfluentials.com/blogs/jesp...ng-xp-sp3.aspx
[NB: The above has been updated many times and now includes "a small tool
that will detect the IntelPPM problem and mitigate it before installing
(WinXP SP3)."]

Some other possible workarounds:

• Boot into Safe Mode and rename INTELPMM.SYS to INTELPMM.OLD.
