when SP3 came out l do admit l steered clear and wouldnt touch it with a barge pole, however l generally dislike installing service packs in their initial releases for a good six months so the bugs are worked out. furthermore l NEVER install a service pack unless my computer has recently been reinstalled, l tend to build and install my own systems and have found that there are more problems on a system when concerning service packs if the operating system has been installed for a while.
as for your CD problem, my best suggestion is a CD/DVD cleaner, sounds like a possible dust buildup, by the sounds of it you dont exactly do any PC cleaning and leave it to the professionals who know what they are doing which is good but after a good few months you will be surprised at the wads of dust that your computer sucks up... (no word of a lie lve seen computers with enough wads of dust and hair in to wonder if it swallowed a small dog or a cat!!)
