PC Pitstop Survey Finds Up To 75% of Troubled Windows XP SP3 Users
\nCan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t Resolve All Problems<\/strong><\/p>\n

Company Offers Continued, Up-To-Date Information Regarding Service Pack 3 Issues<\/em><\/p>\n

Sioux City, IA \u00e2\u20ac\u201c (DATE) \u00e2\u20ac\u201c PC Pitstop, the undisputed leader in PC diagnostics and support with over 100 million PC performance tests and counting, have released the results of a survey of users of Windows XP Service Pack 3. The company found that 24.6% of those surveyed have experienced noticeable problems, 53% of those users have not been able to resolve those problems, and another 22% say they have only been able to resolve some of the issues they are having.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Our survey revealed that this is certainly an important issue that affects many users, and we are committed to helping them with it,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Rob Cheng, Founder and CEO of PC Pitstop. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Using PC Pitstop\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s unique resources, we are on a major initiative to help resolve user issues with Windows XP SP3 in every way we can. We will continue to publish all of the information and knowledge we have about the problem on our web site and also in our newsletter.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

PC Pitstop surveyed computer users who have Windows XP SP3 currently installed on one of their PCs. Along with uncovering the statistics related to the amount of users having problems, PC Pitstop also found:<\/p>\n

  • \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2The most frequently cited problems were Internet Explorer lock-ups, re-boots, system crashes, and failure of XP to start.<\/li>\n
  • \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2Only 5.5% of users having problems had called Microsoft to troubleshoot the problems.<\/li>\n
  • \u00e2\u20ac\u00a237% of those surveyed decided to upgrade to XP SP3, despite the known issues.<\/li>\n

    Microsoft occasionally releases service packs for its Windows operating systems to fix problems and add features. Windows XP Service Pack 3 was released to the public on May 6, 2008.<\/p>\n

The company\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Optimize service keeps PCs running at top available speeds, and removes annoying \u00e2\u20ac\u02dccraplets\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and other data that can slow down Internet connectivity.
