Windows XP SP3 Update

[indiochano]

I am about to install SP3 and I wanted to know if there are any problems with this update? Just wanna make sure cause I depend heavily on programs such as adobe photoshop, flash, illustrator and autodesk maya 2009..

Should I go for it?

Restore points and backups are your friends.

So far, no problems noted with any software. My Adobe programs all work OK. Many of the changes are those that in volve Blu-Ray capability, and security improvements. Some say it loads faster - I don't notice much change at all.

Only possible issues with SP3 is if the computer used an AMD processor .. Sometimes it would not boot afterward.
But it no problem if the computer has an Intel series cpu
