SP 3 Install HELP PLEASE :)

Puree · 04-12-2008, 11:24 PM

When attempting to install SP3, I get the BSOD, and the stop comes up as:

"symevent.sys"

everything is disabled, anti vir/spy, everything.

HELP.

I know SP3 is not necessary, but I NEED it for a game....bastrds.

symevent.sys Windows process - What is it?

It seems that file probably has to do with your AV software. Did you disable and unregister your AV service, or did you just tell it not to run at startup?

btw- I know of absolutely no games that REQUIRE Service Pack 3. What game is this?

GTA IV. Bastards.

I Guess I'll uninstall and install Avria?

Make sure to run Symantec's product removal tool otherwise it sometimes leaves files and services behind for lulz.

AHH.

After uninstalling it, and such.

1/2 through installation, it just gives me an error, that SP3 install cannot complete, and that it did not install completely. Then it exits..WTF?

Help?

The new GTA NEEDS it, as well as windows live and you need to be signed in. Then you need to be online with rockstars own servers too for leaderboards etc.

On top of that XP64 doesnt officially support windows live, so you have to install the seperate msi files manually. It's ass.

And i'm not even a gamer, i just like to read up on my stuff.

Also games have gone downhill. Sidescrollers FTW. I'm old.
