Home Edition Version With No Service Pack
Jun 7, 2005
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.

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.

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.

Just received a used Dell computer running XP Media Center Edition. Trouble is, no updates for SP 2 were ever installed. Where on earth do I begin??? I went to windows update page, and it said there was one critical update. Tried to download it and kept getting an error message.I'm not really all that computer literate, and have no idea where to begin ! I even get an error message when I go to my Control Panel.

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?

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?

All my processes are set to manual or automatic
I have all previous updates.
I have scanned for viruses and spyware with 2 scanners for each.
When trying to install SP2, it gets exactly halfway then it says access denied.

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.......

I currently have xp pro loaded on my computer but it was a bad install and i want to install xp home which i like a bit more. When i go to install xp home, it won't let me because it automatically assumes i want to upgrade and i can't choose a clean install. I can't boot from my cd rom so i can't go through bios.

I have XP Media Center Edition 2002 or 2005 (not sure which) edition on a dell desktop and I have problems with Media Edition so I'd like to go to plain XP home edition. If I buy and run the XP Home upgrade, will that work on top of MCE?

I recently received a laptop that someone needs me to fix. The problem is that it seems at some point that some kind of update was interrupted during the process and the system will not load unless a windows xp professional edition disk is inserted to complete the update. I also cannot get it to start in safe mode. Unfortunately, I only have a home edition disk. Can I reformat XP pro with a home edition disk? If not, are there any other options?

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.
