You can also change the value of the "Start" key in from 1 to 4 in the intelppm folder in regedit. This can be done in Safe mode, or even better, just change the key before installing SP3. I did the latter after going through the process of uninstalling SP3 then researched the problem. Changed the key and then installed SP3 and had no problem. If you're working on a lot of HP/CPQ with AMD and OEM OS, just do the .reg file thing (cut/paste this): [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\intelppm] "Start"=dword:00000004 Jesper’s explanation is great, but a bit scary for the less techsavvy.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\intelppm]
“Start”=dword:00000004

Used the run "SC config intelpm start= disabled" and it's all better now! Thank You! Right on time & right on target. Used the run “SC config intelpm start= disabled” and it’s all better now!

I have two intel based computers with SP3 on them and they both have exhibited similar problems on start-up. This may not just be AMD based.
