I downloaded and installed on my system Windows 2000 SP3 this morning.The installation went fine but on the reboot next i got a BSOD says IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (typical driver problem) with the scsiport.sys driver and of course the system rebooted. I have to say that i have an Asus P2B-DS motherboard with an adapted AIC-7890 U2W on board. The scsi adapter has a cd-r a dvd-rom and a Quantum hard disk connected on it. After some reboots and BSOD i was finally able to get into Windows. The system was stable until i decided to check the Disk managment utility.The BSOD was there again.
I started to get annoyed but then i thought to take the backup scsiport.sys file from the directory that SP3 created in order to be able to uninstall it and overwrite the new file. Yes i know that it does not sound like a clever thing to do but since i have a second operating system (LINUX) i could undone the change if something went wrong.
After the change everything works like a charm. No BSOD at all.I have to say the SP3 gives a slight performance increase and 3 new features.
The automatic update
Utility to set the default apps
On-screen keyboard
Hope this helps some people who may face similar problems until MS repeairs SP3
