    Try booting in safe mode and remove SP3. Wait till the final version comes out on 4/29.

    Hello Gaston

    As Arie said your best bet would be to try Safe mode and if you can get there uninstall SP3 which is not really SP3 but a RC (Release Candidate).

    If you are lucky enough to get into safe mode and uninstall, and then when you get back up if you have any more issues seemingly related to it then do a system restore also to a date before the SP3 update.

    Just yesterday mistakenly thinking SP3 was released I wrote an SP3 update procedure. But don't use it until the real SP3 comes out on the 29th.
