Running: XP Home w/ SP1 I've just reinstalled XP Home w/ SP1 on my computer. 1. Now I find conflicting information on updating to SP3. Please settle the issue for me: do I need to install SP1a, then SP2, then SP3, or just SP3? 2. Also, because I only have dialup Internet on this computer, I want to download the Service Pack(s) to a flashdrive on my friend's broadband computer and transfer it to my computer. At what site can I obtain the SP download without it automatically trying to install on my friend's computer?
If I have Windows XP, or Windows XP with Service pack 1, ti add the Recovery Console, all I do was to place cd of Windows and go to i386 directory, I run di385/winnt32.exe /cmdcons. http://support.microsoft.com/defau [...] -us;307654 If I fresh install on Windows XP with service pack 2 (a Microsoft slipstream CDas of 3/1/05) will the above command still work?
I would like to know if there's a way to save service pack 2 which is on my computer now so I don't have to redownload it from windows update. I am going to reinstall my operating system with a dell oem cd.
I'm running the Home Edition Version 2002 and ever since I downloaded Service Pack 3, I have had nothing but BIG PROBLEMS. Is SP3 compatible with this version or should I still be useing SP2. I've slowed considerably, jumping, lagging, skipping.
I have read numerous articles pertaining to problems encountered after downloading SP4. If a computer is going to be used for home use only without multiple users, and only a printer, scanner and a DSL connection, should SP4 be installed?Are there any major benefits (or drawbacks) having SP4 installed?What is the best service pack to have installed for a home use computer?
I bought a PC back in 2002 and with it came Windows XP Home Edition Version 1.0 with NO SERVICE PACKS with a valid product key. I some how got a virus that erased my entire hard drive and now I'm trying to reload the OS but the CD seems to be damaged. I was told by a pc CE that since I bought the Windows XP product key back in 2002, I can ask someone who has the same OS version for a copy. Does anyone have 2002 WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION VERSION 1.0 WITH NO SERVICE PACKS that can make a copy and send me the CD? I will pay for the shipping and the CD copy.
Trying to do a 'repair' re-install of Windows XP Home Edition. I get through the loading of files and into the first installation window of Windows XP (after the 1st restart) and then get the system windows asking for [B]'The File ASMS on Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 1 CD is needed. Type the path where the file is located and then click OK/B]'. The text in the path text box is 'GLOBALROOTDEVICECDROM0I386'. The ASMS file (directory) is in the 1st level directory of I386 on the CD. This is also a valid OEM CD with the Hologram. The system has two CD drives; one is a CD drive and the other is a DVD/CD RW drive. It seems it is not communicating with the drive properly.

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.

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.
