The third service pack for Microsoft Windows XP is finally available for download and install. However early observations have indicated that it may not be without it's problems. Just as the Vista Service Pack 1 was withdrawn for a while last week to combat some problems with specific applications it may well be that XP SP3 will see a second iteration before all the issues are ironed out.

If you want to go ahead with the SP3 (or Vista SP1) install and you don't want to leave things to chance then give us a call on 023 39496 or email services@ctswestcork.com for information on our upgrade services. If you should install XP SP3 and then find that IE7 no longer works then please give us a call on how to fix the issues.

Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) is now available for installation on your systems. The updates in this service pack can be grouped into three broad categories:

• Quality and reliability improvements
• Support for emerging standards and hardware
• Business infrastructure related enhancements

Whilst there may not be much visible change on the surface there's plenty of changes 'under the hood' that will improve your experience using the Windows Vista operating system.

To get your system upgraded to Windows Vista Service Pack 1 call us now on 023 39496 or email dhollingworth@comptroub.com.
