After the format of my old PC windows xp sp1 cannot be updated

I just formatted my HP PC. Once I used the original disk to format the PC. Now, my PC looks like new. But I can not activate the automatic updates from microsoft. I'm basically a mechanical engineer. I don't know much about computers. I really surprised, I cannot even update my internet explore and can not see the automatic updates of windows. My version of internet explore now shows 6. Its very old. Now update my PC as the latest version of Windows XP. Help, please. My specifications is using MS windows XP Edition version 2002 service Pack 1 family. Mine is HP Pavilion Intel (r) Pentium (R) 4 CPU 3.00 Hz 256 MB of Ram.  So please help me how to upgrade my PC. Thank you. Shankar.

Manually download Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 3 and install them in this order.  Here are the links to download these service packs as stand-alone install packages:

SP2: <> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28 >

SP3: <> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24 >

If you are unable to download to your computer, try to download from another machine and moving them to your machine to a USB or Flash drive.  Once you're up to SP3, maybe that automatic updates work better.

Note that 256 MB of RAM is maybe not enough for Windows XP to perform satisfactorily.  You should consider an upgrade of RAM if you plan to keep the machine.

HTH,

    After the upgrade yesterday from Vista to Windows 7, now my Cisco VPN does not work and I get an error message titled: grounds 440 driver fault.  Any ideas to fix this?

    This was the solution!  The works of vpn as $ 1 million now.  I followed the instructions above to enter the uninstall program and selecting the repair option.  I rebooted the machine, then used the troubleshooting on vpn software compatibility option.  Selected Windows windows xp (service pack 2) as the correct software and cisco vpn client started right up.

  • Cannot start after the formatted NTFS partition

    Option to boot OS X suddenly absent after that I formatted the partition NTFS (bootcamp) of Windows installation.

    I read many previous question in many Web site and

    I tried to fix it in disk utility, but it cannot go up more.

    user mode single launch I tried, but it does not start.

    already reset NVRAM and SMC.

    Is there not any solution to start again or access my files in the partition mac to back up?

    Thank you.

    Somehow, you managed to format your OS X with making it unusable NTFS volume. I recommend you do the following:

    Clean Install of El Capitan

    Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime, press Command + Option + R until a globe appears.

    The Utility Menu appears in 5 to 20 minutes. Be patient.

    Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.

    When loading disk utility, select the drive (generally, the entry Out-bumpy) in the list aside.

    Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.

    Set the GUID partition scheme.

    Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).

    Click on the apply button, then click the fact when it is active.

    Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.

    Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

    This should install it the version of Mac OS X that has been previously installed when the computer was new.

  • Envy of HP dv7 - 7323CL: HP driver not available for my laptop after the WIN10, now said to use Windows updates

    I think I got this, just need confirmation, before I was going to HP.com to find udpated pilots, then site Web HP said if computers purchased after August 2013 have been tested, I think you could get the updates via the HP with WIN10 site.  My pc model was purchased in February 2013, it seems now that I have WIN10 there is no drivers for me page to go it says that I need to go to the updates of Windows.  Before I upgraded to 10, I was 8, and I had full access to the drivers download through HP.com page.  However, I think I understand now, I had a problem with the Norton Removal Tool, after using it, it makes my pilot biometric and disabled the Windows Hello to WIN10 - the reader of fingerprints for a connection.  The pilot appeared to be corrupted and I needed to just reinstall.  I finally found an old forum via HP where someone has had the same problem that I did and they are found to include a link for the driver, and it worked for my model of laptop and solved the problem.  After some tests, I uninstalled the driver and learned at that time, after the driver is uninstalled, I can go to Windows Update and it will search and find the driver that I uninstalled and offer me the download to reinstall.  That's cool.  So, I understand now that even now if the drivers are not available for my model via HP.com, I can now just do a search through Windows Update and it will fix the problem, only after that I uninstalled it through Control Panel, Device Manager, once I uninstalled, restarted the computer, then did the updates of Windows It downloaded the driver, like when I went to the Control Panel, Device Manager, I saw the biometric driver in good working condition.  This is the case now with who need driver updates / reinstall?  (Note: to update the drivers, I know too much, you can go to control panel, Manager of devices, and then click the driver and select Update driver software.)

  • CS3 will not activate on the new hard drive after the failure of an old man.

    I had a hard drive fail on my Mac and got a new. The operating system before and after were OS 10.10 (Yosemite). I reinstalled CS3 and entered my serial number. It does not accept as a correct serial number. I sent support of Adobe. They said: Yes, it is the correct serial number. I asked what I could do, they said "Try the Forums." So here I am.

    The problem is probably that CS3 is not really supported in Yosemite.

    What others have experienced, is that If CS3 is already on the computer, you can continue to function, even if you have updated to Yosemite. But many have had problems installing CS3.

    Because CS3 is old and is not officially supported you unfortunately are on your own.

  • HP Pavilion A6750F Windows 7 SP1 cannot write on a CD - R

    I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Vista SP1.  Everything seemed to work, including optical drives - a HP DVD Writer 1070r that was added to the original HP HL-DT-ST DVD - RAM GH15L when I bought the system.  Now, neither drive can write CD media (writing DVD - RW seems to be fine).  If I use Power2Go, it writes the data but sticks to 99% when he says he's trying to write the session data.  If I try writing of database Win 7 disk, he comes back and says it is unable to complete the format.  Readers to read the CD & DVD very well.

    Previously, I have improved programs HP (Power2Go, etc.) for Win 7 compatible versions and applied all the others of HP as BIOS and disk hard firmware upgrades.  I tried the MS Fixit program and uninstall the disks with Device Manager to force the re installation of the driver.  Because the two discs has exactly the same, it is clearly a matter of Win 7 vs HP and not a problem of individual player.

    Any ideas?  Thank you!

    Thank you, Travis.  As I said in my 2nd paragraph, I already tried Microsoft Fixit Tool - didn't work.  I had previously applied all updates of HP and they did not help either.  Maybe you didn't notice that I had several programs fail on two completely different optical drives - which is a very good indication that fault of software and not a single point like a laser or optical misalignment, is the problem.  I am a digital hardware engineer with decades of experience in debugging of system...

    In fact, it was a software problem.  I've updated the software RAID AMD - there was an update it out about 2 weeks after that I started having the problem.  Problem solved--except for Quicken 2012 which seems to have its own problems with CD - RW from what I've seen on other sites.  I thought to get rid of the RAID stuff, which I don't use really not now, but since positions online that I saw, is not worth the hassle.

    Thanks for trying, even if...
