HP had comes out with a solution. There are 5 steps to fix this problem:

1. Restart computer and press F8 key repeatedly until Windows
2. Advanced Options Menu appears.
3. Choose Safe Mode.
4. Browse to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers.
5. Find a file named “intelppm.sys” and rename it to “XXXintelppm.syx“.
6. Restart.

when i’m trying to follow your step, i’m stucked in the third step.
when i choose the safe mode, screen appear the same screen as the first time i turn on my computer.

@Steve Yu: I think Intel preocessors won’t have this problem. My friends have installed SP3 but they didn’t complain about it.

@Luke: I agree with you that support is the most important. I bought ASUS motherboard and i found that their support is really bad, this make me never go for ASUS anymore! But i don’t think MS purposely do that to promote Vista…

@Deimos: Can update. But i think you need a patch. Try search through Google. I am sure you can easily get a patch that will “convert” your *p* version to *o* version..Haha

I did have problems when installing SP3 which caused me to move to ubuntu. Good HP managed to find a solution for the problem in the case of the AMD driven HPs, sometimes support IS all you need. This just boosts my opinion about HP, but - did MS do that on purpose to boost Vista sales? Would be kind of absurd.
