Windows XP SP 3 performing cleanup service pack 3 taking a long time or freeze ... or the "performing cleanup" hang ...
I tried it and it's work (if you can just wait .... maybe 3-4 hours who knows but personally I think it's safer that way)
If you are a risk taker or simply cannot wait the performing cleanup at the final stage of the SP 3 upgrade installation ...
or if you are like me waited for 2 hours and fed up ... then you have 2 options
1. Stop the services (you can just go to task manager and stop the update.exe) or just hit the restart button, when it ask to end the program just do it.
2. Just press the power button for 10 seconds to shut it down
I did the first one and everything looks fine now.
How to check if my windows xp sp3 upgraded successfully?
go to my computer right click on it choose properties you should see SP 3 over there...
then congrats ...

Windows XP Profile gone / profile corrupted

SYMPTOMS
Windows Cannot Load Your Profile Because It May Be Corrupted
When you try to login to your windows xp, everything seems gone. the shortcut become default shortcut, file in the desktop gone, you try to open the outlook but nothing can be found.
You try to connect the outlook and copy some file even connect back the network drive but when you log off and log in again everything back to square one.
Don't worry your profile is still intact actually, Windows XP creating a temporary login for you to log on because the original profile are corrupted.
How to solve?
1. Log on as a user other than the user whose profile is corrupted e.g administrator
2. Explore the user folder by going into C:\Documents and Settings\ XXX
3. Rename the folder name that has the user name you want to fix (rename with adding 2 / backup / anything)
In my case I rename it from Snail to Snail_corrupted
4. Log off and log in with the corrupted User Name -Snail (Windows XP will create a new profile: Snail)
5. Check back the documents and settings you should see two profile the old profile that you have renamed and the new one. in my case is Snail andSnail_corrupted
6. Move the data (my document, favorite, desktop, etc) to the new profile that you are currently log on to
7. Log off and log in again after finish and setup outlook.
