Hi some body help me. when i play video or audio they get struck and immediately the next day my system need to be formatted as i cant start it. This is happening from 6 months that's the reason i stopped watching movies.
I have Win XP Home Edition, my computer crashed last night and I had to re-install windows. I've been installing all my window updates but I keep getting an error for Service Pack 1. "The core system file (kernel) used to this computer is not a Microsoft Windows file." And Service Pack 2 has been trying to download to my D drive, which is an external hard drive.
Even though I have deleted the Microsoft Money program, every time I get onto or do something on the Internet I get a message that Windows Installer is searching for Microsoft Money 2002 System Pack. The it comes back and says "Error 1606. Could not access network location..." Since Microsoft no longer supports this 2002 System Pack, I can't seem to totally disable this continual search for an update. how to disable/delete or whatever to get rid of this annoying reaccurance?
Once I installed sp3, I could not get past the windows loading screen, so I started in safemode and uninstalled sp3 that way. My question is, does uninstalling sp3 remove sp2 as well. I can not see sp2 under add/remove programs, but my windows update history says I downloaded sp2 last May.
I have had Windows XP on my computer for 3 years, during that time I have had no problems with updates. A couple of days ago updates were running when I got the following message box. Service pack 3 setup. Access denied1! Microsoft will now un-install the current updates. At this point I was in a hurry to leave and shut off my computer thinking that when I started up again, the updates would resume their activity.......
Every time I try to download SP2 computer restarts during the installation, specifically when its making backup files. I got this error signature after the computer rebooted I have a Widows XP Home edition.
My friend just got the net however she cant use it because she needs SP2. shes on SP1 Shes using a wireless connection. she cant connect to the net to download SP2 then to SP3. so is there a way I can download it? then pass it to her via USB? Link to download?
ANYBODY OUT THERE KNOW HOW TO UPGRADE MY WINDOWS XP,PRO(SP1)-TO WINDOWS XP,PRO(SP2)- I,JUST NEED TO UPGRADE. I DON`T WANT TO LOSE ANY OF MY UTILITIES OR PROGRAMS THAT CAME WITH MY COMPUTER. IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE TO GO, AND WHAT TO DO
Quad Core: When I install XP I try to hear music but sometimes the music freeze for about 0,5s and after that it continue. with video its the same. I don't know why, so I try it with Triple Core... No change same like before but when i try it with Dual-Core it was OK. I install all drivers. I try old drivers, new drivers, beta drivers, new bios etc... bud i think it is in CPU, because on Dual-Core it was fine... Please tell me solution. I don't have any idea to correct this problem. TY.
I've heard that dual core can handle two threads at the same time, but has less Mhz than single core. Anybody could tell me if it is a good choice to buy a dual core processor if there aren't enough applications with more than one thread?
If you go to Microsoft to download it it is old and it do't have all the updates. The Date Published is 08/10/2004.Is there any place to get the most updated version?
i have heard many good and bad things about teh new service pack and being a novice i am having a hard time trying to find a straight yes or no answer anywhere all im finding is very technical answers that i do not understand half of what people are saying
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.
I have service pack 3 on my desktop pc with windows xp. is it possible to downgrade to service pack, my wireless usb adapter will work on it properly, This is what I was told to do by a tech at Linksys just now, although it worked fine last night, they know they have issues with service pack 3 on xp, and have not got a driver working yet for service pack So they told me to downgrade my pc to service pack 2 until they do have a good driver
I tried downloading service pack 2 and it messed up my computer and it takes a while to get onto it and the internet is slow. I can only use it in safe mode. Please tell me what to do, besides reboot the computer, for I have done that 2 times already.
I normally remove the updates/SPs from my Windows folder after a few days of running with the SP installed. All those packs can take up a ton of space. I move them to a separate folder for safe keeping for about a week, then, if all is well, I delete them. I don't think I've deleted the IE7 SP, but I don't know what the SP number is.
Is there any way to get a copy of service pack 1 OTHER than from Microsoft?....I bought my copy of XP Pro at a computer show and its license key is no good...so I can't install the version from MS
Concerning windows XP i'm being promted with an update to install service pack 3 (SP3) i'm currently running on (SP2) i've researched on (SP3) but before installing the upgrade would just like to know from users already using (SP3) what their comments are.
I am unable to install windows xp service pack 2. I have downloaded it and it gets to final stages of instalation (performing cleaning) and then I get an error message saying that it could not complete installation. I have a proper copy of win xp and have used it for ages and registered it. The problems came when I got a new motherboard and it asked me to register windows which I did successfully. When I went to download SP2 it told me I had to register windows and to follow certain steps in the control panel.
I run sfc, I get a message saying insert your xp pro service pack 3 cd. The problem is that I don't have sp3 cd. What should I do? By the way, I don't have xp intallation cd, but I have manufacturer's restore cd which does not have sp2 nor sp3.
I never installed Windows Service pack 2 on my computer yet. Do I really need this installed? Also, do I have to shut down any programs before installing it?
Today I got a new computer, and set up a home network with my DSL connection. Well, I noticed that my older computer hadn't been updated in a while so I downloaded/installed all the new XP updates, including SP2. Well as soon as I did that, Windows would not boot. So I turned off auto-reboot when it encounters an error. Even worse. Now I can't even go into safe mode, unless it's the command line. So I decided, what the heck, I need to clean up anyways. And I try to reinstall windows, my CD won't load. So now I'm stuck with a nice blue paperweight that won't boot windows and I can't boot the XP CD. If anyone has encountered this problem, and fixed it, please reply. If not, I'm getting Redhat right now, and going to install that, format, uninstall and put XP back in. I was just hoping for an easier way out.
Right now I have SP1, an activated firewall with Norton Anti-virus and blah blah blah. I'm not on a network, am only online on dial-up and just use this computer for boards like this, Live Journal, nothing fancy, no P2P stuff. Considering these things, how necessary would it be for me to get Service Pack 2 and why?
