My Toshiba downloaded and installed SP3 fine -- or at least it seemed so --
but then it rebooted with a dozen messages "Access is denied" (without any
technical details) in a black window with something "system 32/cmd". Does it
mean that not all the necessary changes has taken place but only part of
them? Should I uninstall SP3 and try install it again? Is it dangerous to
leave my system as it is?
