08 Apr 14 CESSATION of ALL SUPPORT & UPDATES for XP! Advice, please.

(1) in other words, if you please, what have these "updates" contained?

(2) what, exactly, we are now vulnerable XPers?

(3) RE: Service Pack 3 - shows on my programs list, but ONLY the name: no frequency, no date of origin, NO USE of SPACE. I noticed on my history of updates, there ARE updates to SP3, but history does not go far enough to show when (IF?) it actually downloaded. He down-load?

Thank you!

1. a variety of things, including "fixes" the operating system vulnerabilities that are continually discovered.

2 see, for example, http://blogs.technet.com/b/security/archive/2013/08/15/the-risk-of-running-windows-xp-after-support-ends.aspx and http://www.zdnet.com/microsoft-security-research-paints-bleak-picture-for-xp-users-7000022537/

3. the date and information space in Control Panel > Add / Remove programs is notoriously reliable.  Don't worry about this.  If you want to confirm that you have service pack 3, right-click on desktop and select Properties.

  • Is it possible to receive all the updates for Windows XP after re-installing?

    I realize that Microsoft no longer make new updates for Windows XP (form apart recent exception), but I was about to run a complete reset of my Windows XP Netbook when I thought to myself "I'll be able to get the updates?"

    So my question is just that, if I turn my Windows XP Netbookreset, it will download all the necessary updates, to the point where Microsoft stopped, making them?

    If not, is there another way to get the updates, I would need, or is it better to not run the factory reset at all.

    Your help is very appreciated,

    Yes, Windows Update will always offer updates for XP that were issued before April 8, 2014.

    There is a catch, however, (which may apply to the vilidjit) - Windows Update won't work for XP, unless service pack 3 is already installed.  It is also possible that it will not work until IE 8 is installed, but I'm less sure of that.

    If your computer is running after a 'restoration provided the factory' earlier level of service pack for XP, you must download and install service packs manually.  If you have no service pack, you need to install sp2 before you install sp3 (if you have sp 1 or sp1a, you don't need sp2).

    If you did a "restore to factory conditions", don't forget to uninstall any free trial of an antivirus program (the free trial period will be long expired).  Use the appropriate removal of the manufacturer of the virus program tool.

  • What happens to my all the updates, if I Re install Win 7 new

    After 3 years, I found that the supporter of Windows 7 (70 GB) is full in my hard drive, can be due to many UPDATES all these years. Because I don't know how to free up space on this drive, I decided to re - install Windows 7 again. In this case, what happens to all my received UPDATES earlier. Do I have to download all the UPDATES again? Help, please

    Yes, you will need to submit a new application of updates after reinstall. However some later updates are in fact replaced by later that the results can be more effective. I also download and manually apply service packs on new construction as allows me to apply the setting "nobackup.

    On the last one I made after that the SPs, I had a little less than 100 updates to apply to the wide then came running clean disk with the option to clean the system files to delete history of update files.

    My previous laptop was peripheral to another manufacturer and they did all the updates automatically.

    Please could someone tell me if Toshiba does the same thing?

    I have not seen the updates made on this laptop.
    Is there a setting somewhere hand should I activate?
    I hope there is.

  • KB2289161 - a security update for MS Office 2010 has no

    I make it work on all my boxes of XP SP3.  We have recently upgraded to Office 2010 (some since 2007, some new facilities brand.)  Later last night was a brand new installation and update of XP.

    All other updates for the products and the BONES have been treated successfully.  It's the only update that is untreated (and not reviewed by one of our boxes.) Repair by SBS 2008 x 64 (if that makes a difference).  Have you tried both by the update service, as well as by hand.

    Tried to go in a box and update the User Shell Folders registry settings, but no impact.

    UPDATE - did get an error code: 0 x 80246002

    It was for me that it was for OneNote, but no matter - the NDR was what was so annoying.  I finally called Microsoft support (updated and security related calls are free!)

    It's what helped on my new machine load, but still not able to rename Catroot2 unless I'm in Mode safe on other machines (something STILL locked, even when the Cryptsvc process is stopped.)

    Fortunately I have only 15 machines:

    1. stop Windows Update services (could also do it from the control panel services)

    o 1 clickStart, click principally made programs, click Accessories, right-clickcommand promptand select run as administrator.

    o 2. If you receive auser account control notification simply click continue.

    3. o at the command prompt, type the following commands and pressENTER after each command.

    net stop wuauserv
    net stop bits

    net stop cryptsvc

    4 o please do not close thecommand prompt window.

     

    2. Rename the Windows Update files (could also do it from the Explorer window)

    1. o at the command prompt, type the following commands and pressenter after each command:

    o 2. ren %systemroot%\System32\Catroot2 Catroot2.old

    o 3. ren %systemroot%\System32\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

    o 4. ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

    Please, 5 o. do not close thecommand prompt window.

     

    3. apply Microsoft Fixit

    o 1. 50461

    o 2. 50202

     

    4. restart 50202 requires it

     

    5. apply the update of Microsoft 2289161

    As I said, MY machine is OK, the others to accept the office, subsequently update, but VERY manually intensive.

  • Trying Windows update for disk other than defult. any thoughts?

    After recently acquiring a computer with only 19 Gig of hard drive, which I compressed and then after a"short of disk space" notice, I realized that the problem was a result of the accumilation of cumlative updates all truths; for example, "security essentials" and "malwarebytes" as well as the slow windows updates "criticism"; as a result, I bought a 16 GB Flash drive. later, I tried to lead all downloads update for the Flash Player (new drive E :) with no results; Moreover, I spent an amount of time incalculatable copy individual updates after that is investigating whether or not they could be later deleted c: subsequently save them on the new drive E) :.

    Then; Is it possible

    ? Alternatively, if I have to learn how to create an operating system that will comply with my desires (probably no more difficult to find a woman who will do the same thing :))?

    Windows Update (automatic updates) will download installers for farmland on the drive with the most free space, but the updates themselves must be installed on the boot drive (usually drive c :)).

    To free up space on the startup disk, see this archived and related discussion in another forum-online http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=33827

  • Is there an Adobe Updater for CS5?

    I remember when I used to use CS4 products, all I had to do was go to what is called "adobe updater" and it will check for all possible updates for my CS4 products. Now with CS5, I can't find an update for that. I have to go to the Adobe download page and manually update each application individually. Y at - it an automatic update of some sort for the CS5 products? And how can I access it?

    Thank you.

    I know about the entire suite, but you can access an automatic update in Photoshop itself via the Help menu (in particular, help - updates...).  By the wording that you get when you do this, I would say that this update handles more than just Photoshop:
