Windows XP SP3 test run on Acer Aspire 5580 Laptop An officemate of mine requested me to fix her Acer Aspire 5580 Laptop. Upon close inspection, I could see lots of malware and viruses of all sorts clinging for their lives, begging me for one chance so I could let them live (hehehehe…) because I am about to reformat and perform a clean install of the said machine. All the files backup via removal usb disk. The good thing about this Acer Aspire 5580, is has recoverable media hidden within it’s partition, which is a good thing for me because I don’t have to think about recovery disks, and the hassle of me digging my box full of driver disks. After the reinstallation, I ran the Windows XP Service Pack 3 and all went smooth, but after rebooting a startup screen suddenly popup saying “IM PRETTY MESSED UP” I found out that it has something to do with the video memory technical jargon thing, I hope Acer finds this error soon. So here comes the hard part, I have to reinstall the machine again and forget Windows XP SP3. My advices to those who are planning deploy Windows XP SP3, test it first on a staging machine, a desktop machine will suffice.
