I have a retail version of Windows XP Pro without any service packs. Where can I download SP3? I looked at Microsoft's website but it is way to confusing. I think I downloaded SP3 but it said it was meant for IT professionals to be used on a network.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running Windows XP on an E-machines T2385. I had previously loaded the MS Plus! Superpack for XP so that I could utilize Media Player 10 and Movie Maker 2. After several unrelated problems I had to perform a system restore, which was successful. I recently tried to load the Plus! software again and experienced some permissions problems. I was advised by MS to download and use download the Microsoft Installer Clean-up Utility. I was then able to load Disk "1" of the Plus! XP Superpack with no problem. In attempting to load Disk "2" (Digital Media version; w/Media Player 10 and Movie Maker 2 w/ add-ons) I was again prompted to download Movie maker 2 from the internet. Once again it was only available as a download WITH Service Pack 2. I attempted to download SP2, and this time it appeared to proceed smoothly. However, once I got about half way through (as indicated by the status bar) I received the following message pop-up:
"Service Pack 2 Download: Access Denied. OK."
I clicked OK and the following pop-up appeared:
"Service Pack 2 Set-Up Error: Service Pack 2 installation did not complete. Select 'OK' to undo the changes that have been made. OK"
I clicked OK, and a pop-up indicated that various components of the SP2 set-up were being undone, and files erased and deleted. At the conclusion of the removal of SP2 files I received the following pop-up:
"Service Pack 2 Set-up Error: Service Pack 2 installation did not complete. Windows XP has been partially updated and may not work properly."
I was then prompted to restart my computer to put any of the changes into effect.
window indicating that a critical update was available. I'm not certain if the update was simply the latest and greatest or somehow related to the problem at hand... but then when I click on the download option/update referenced it proceeds to a point and then gives me an error message stating that certain files needed to be updated before the download could be successful.
This is becoming frustrating. I would think that downloading SP2 with WXP would be an easy thing to do... but apparently not. Please help! Thanks...
when I try to hibernate the machine if any programs are running it will say I don't have enough memory (I have 2GB in a Gateway 506GR, Pentium 4, 3400 Mhz running XP Home Edition). I run NOD32 antivirus.
The machine seems like it is running hard all the time but the CPU usage is usually only around 2 or 3 %. I'm thinking about putting in a larger hard drive and starting over completely. I backup pretty well (although not always often enough)
My computer has automatically tried to install it over 30 times now, and i tried manually about 5 times, and everytime it just fails, and doesn't complete! PLEASE HELP!

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently had to format my father's pc due to rubbish and problems on it. Other than running slow, everything was working fine.
I formatted and re-installed windows xp professional and then began to add programs back on. When I came to plugging his router back in (plug in and go) it said the USB port wasn't supported. I have since found out I need 2.0 drivers installed.
I downloaded the drivers and it won't let me install them as I get the message "Please upgrade your system to Service Pack 1 or above and then run this setup program again" I have on disk already sp2 and sp3 but it wont let me install these either as it saying the system requires sp1 first.
Should I turn off the Internet Firewall before Service Pack 2 is installed? After it is downloaded, then am I protected or do I have to go back and turn on Internet Firewall? Thanks! I don't quite understand what I should do about the Internet Firewall.

View 9 Replies View RelatedMy Windows Update was set to download updates, and then notify me to install. Well, I have Windows Service Pack 3 "downloaded," but not installed, yet. And whenever I shut down my XP Professional system it asks me whether I want to install it. I have decided that I want to wait a month or so before installing it, so how do I remove it from my system. By the way, I went ahead a changed the setting at the Windows Update site so it now notifies me of any updates, but it does not download it to my system....but, as I said above, what I want to do is get rid of the download on my system

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Inspiron E1505 with Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3. I had Internet Explorer 7, and for about a month I would get a "Error: Operation Aborted" every now and then and I would have to open a new window, so Friday morning I downloaded Internet Explorer 8 Beta to see if it would remove the problem. It didn't, so I tried Firefox, but I found both IE 8 and Firefox to be annoying, so I decided to remove them both and go back to IE 7, but this caused a whole different problem. I think that I might have done something wrong while removing the programs because now IE doesn't work at all. Now whenever I click on IE, the IE screen will flash for about a second and then disappear.
