I am having problems downloading any programs. Including my auto updates. I contacted my Internet service and they believe that this is a spy-ware problem. They ran me through different things to try and I still cannot download. Every time I try I get a pop up that states Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close. I was able to set up temp web page through my Internet service, but am unable to complete the process due top the fact that I cannot download.

My windows automatic updates notifier wants me to download Service Pack 3. I have heard of problems arising from Service Pack 3 (I have XP). Should I ignore it or should I download it?

I have been using Add/Remove icon in Control Panel to remove programs. Although the Win2k Pro is running fine ,the icon of Add/Remove Program is not opening the next window to remove the programs.
I downloaded a program from Ebay and after installing it I noticed it didn't have a uninstall. I used my add & remove program to uninstall the program but not all of it got uninstalled. I deleted the folder and then did a search in my registry for anything with refernce to the programs name "Ebay's Blackthorne" and deleted all entries with that name.Every time I reboot windows tries to install something for Blackthorne and I have to keep cancelling it out.
I tried to use "Compressed (Zipped) Folders" in Windows. It didn't work. Then I tried right clicking on a folder/file, selecting "Properties", pushing the "Advanced" button,I then checked "Compress contents to save disk space",and the folder and its contents turned blue but the size of the files,seeming, hadn't changed. Have the files actually been compressed? Should I get an external ZIP program? If so can you recommend a program?
It is frustrating having every program automatically install to program files, including minor things like audio attachment. I know I'll end up with tons and tons of folders in program files. Beyond that, I can't access program files from the other computers on the network. Is there a good way to reorganize/move files to my C drive in a way that would be efficient and wouldn't require reinstalling every single program in a different place?
Um.. I think this could go here. Well i just partitioned my hard drive and i seperated it by music, programs, etc. What im trying to do is get all my programs to use the seperate partition (E) instead of C:. I just wanted to know how to do this.

Bought Win/XP on ebay, OEM version 2002, has COA. While long formatting process is going on I want to ask: Will SP2 download automatically once I have disc installed on my new HD and connect to internet? ebay seller said SP2 was included but package says nothing of the kind. Version 2002 on the manual tells me it was pre SP2. Somehow I took seller's statement to mean it was on the disc.

I am trying to design and get a Website up and running. I am finding this confusing enough. Then Dreamweaver told me I ought to check to see if IIS (Internet Information Server) was installed, so I did (it wasn't - no C:/Inetpub). Then, again following directions, I went to Control Panel/ Add or Remove Programs/ Add or Remove Window Components to install IIS.
Not an option.So I went to www.microsoft.com/downloads and could find all sorts of ancillary helpers to IIS (Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Resource Kit Tools, Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Manager for Windows XP, Internet Information Services (IIS) Lockdown Tool 2.1) but noplace from which I could just download IIS 6.0.

I have a friend w/dialup,yeah, I know, and it's taking FOREVER to do windows update. Is there a way I can download on my broadband computer to CD then install on her computer?
I am looking for a way to download Windows XP updates to a CD. The reason is I am working on my sister's computer which says she needs many updates, including Windows XP Service Pack 2. She uses dial up and one download can take hours. My computer is on cable hookup and downloads quickly. I would like to download the updates to a cd and transfer to her computer. However, going to the download sites requires it searching my system which doesn't match. I run Win98. Does anyone know how I can get these updates?
on Xp2, PC set to download automatic, but is unable to do so for the last 2/3 weeks. I have tried windows update site, 'custom' etc, it tries to update then says 'failed'Have Ad-Aware 2008 free installed.
I have brought new pc and its the first time I have used Windows xp I previously had Windows ME and I never downloaded Microsofts updates for ME after the first time I tried and I had to reinstall windows because of the problems it caused. Some people tell me not download the updates for XP and some tell me I should anyone got any sound advice.
XP Pro SP2, Intel 3.3 cpu, 1 gig ram. My automatic updating stopped working. I had it set to notify me of new updates, and I downloaded and installed what I wanted. Now I get no notifications. If I go to the Windows download site the option I select is download critical updates. This brings up a window telling me that my computer is being checked to see if all the needed files for downloading are on my machine. I am told that they are missing and that I can download and install them by clicking on the provided button. I then see messages saying that the download is progressing, and when I get to 100% a new message tells me that the files are being registered. So far so good. Unfortunately, I am returned to the window saying my computer must be checked, and we go around again. In my investigations to date, the only suggestion I found (in several places) is update my display driver. I have not yet done so because my screen presents no problems. Anybody out there have experience with something like this?
When I go to Wundows update http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us The Window Update dialogue opens saying "The updates are being downloaded and installed".

I niticed in the Start menu there is also a Microsoft Update When I go to http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us. Although it appears to be the same URL all I get is a blank page and the IE window freezes and I have to End Task.The Windows Update dialogue opens saying "The updates are being downloaded and installed". Windows Update indicates 8 Critical Updates neet to be installed. I have tried both Express and Manual install. The Windows Update site has even rechcecked to make sure I am using an genuine Windows product.But nothing happens. The Installation status box stays blank and the download progress bar continually says "Preparing for download" After about 10 minutes the Installing Updates dialogue says "Updates were unable to be successfully installed". No error messages or codes received.
Meanwhile the Windows Connector icon in the Taskbar indicates no data being transfered except it occassionally flashes as though it is attempting to connect to the server.Currently updated AVG, S&D, Ewido, MS Antispyware, Registry Mechanic and Adawre indicate no problems. HJT does not seem to indicate any problems. Trying System Restore didn't help.Using XP Home, IE6 SP2.
