Should I instal SP3 or not?

Missing Windows Logo startup screens after CMOS battery replacement.
Microsoft has just released Service Pack 3 for Windows XP. It is a cumulative SP
and includes all previous updates. Q: Should I install it or not? Q: Will it uninstall
all the previous updates? Q: Can I uninstall previous updates if MS does not?
Ron
After replacing the CMOS battery on my intel motherboard I have lost the Windows
Logo startup screens and the beginning screens which indicate which F-Keys to press
to enter BIOS ets. System holds black screen for a short time them goes to desktop.

Why don't you read some of the many posts that have been placed here in just the
last couple of days, before adding another?
The answer is the same: NO.

SP3 will only add what you don't have already. If you don't like troubleshooting
problems then I would suggest avoiding it.

Thanks Steve I appreciate your advice.
