Automatic updates on my home edition of Windows XP several times trying to install service pack 1 and every time the display shows that it could not be installed. All other updates are installed successfully except Service Pack 1.

All windows updates are installed automatically with success except on my Windows XP home edition SP1.  It lasts for years, but now I'm wondering if there is a problem of security which is not treated without the update.

  • Windows Mail does not open Inbox, all other files are missing.

    When I open Windows mail, all records except local and Inbox are missing.

  • Windows Vista + Netgear - Netgear says that I'm connected network list said I'm limited, the computer shows that I am not at all. Computer is right.

    I have fixed everything at the time of my desktop computer starts up to a screen black with no explorer.exe running (the explorer.exe running only showed a folder at a time, until I restarted it.) and now I have a connection problem.

    My netgear router has a connection with my computer, it shows green in the taskbar. However, my actual connection to the internet is not as lucky as the connection with the router.

    I see the networks that I am able to connect to, but as soon as I did, I said that I am not currently connected to any network. If I go to "Connect to a network" I see clearly that I'm "connected with limited access" to Snet-G, which is one of the networks available to connect.

    In my options of netgear, I am also connected to Snet-G, and it shows that it is actually connected.

    My problem is the fact that I can "ipconfig" and I find none of my information, and when I try to ipconfig/all, it gives me an error something while not connected, so it says that I'm connected and does not, at the same time. My local internet does not work (can not navigate to 192.168.1.1 and others), and of course for this reason, my global internet does not work.

    I need a fix for this, because I just put a ton of subscriptions for this month, which are already paid, and if I can't use this month is a good slice of $50 trash just because I fixed something.

    Thanks, that's a well advanced topic.

    I tried the following:
    System Restore (6 days back, the problem started 2 days ago)
    Restarting the computer
    Unplug modem (30 seconds)
    Restarting the router/Reset
    Connection to the Snet-N instead of the Snet-G

    Things to take note, if you do not already consider: I can't connect to my router config (192.168.1.1), my computer says I am connected locally, but not in the world.
    I have some information about the modem if necessary.
    -I have restored my computer 6 days ago, but only changed my problem with explorer.exe back. Internet broke again-. -.

  • Can manage Windows XP Home Edition of Windows 8? Get the error codes for the security updates (0 x 643). ALL through Microsoft Tech INFECTED with the virus and Trojans tried. I need help BADLY. Thank you.

    I tried every thing blessed with technology microsoft... always hanging in limbo here.  Tired of doing constant comprehensive analyses, etc. in order to remove the constant threats.  Apparently my McAfee can't stay with her either.  Need help with the download/repair these seeds as soon as possible.  Thanks to all those who wish to help me - it would be that popular, for sure!

    The question makes no sense.

    "Can manage Windows XP Home Edition of Windows 8?"

    Two problems: there is no Windows 8 and even if there were, Windows XP Home Edition would not not 'manage '.  ;-)

    I drop McAfee for a few different freeware products.  Or better yet I'd get two products 'cost' (~ 25 and 60 dollars) and install them and use them in the future - but WHEN you are trying to clean up.

    You seem like you maybe sincerely - at a time when a format/install of Windows XP/patching/installation of applications/patch/restore backups of your data is the best course of action.

    However, if you are willing to work - maybe we can at least get things cleaned up to a certain point where you can get a good backup before doing this (otherwise avoid doing all together.)

    In the order shown, do not jump (no matter what you do, what you have done in the past, etc.) ...

    First of all - download, install, operate and put to update and then run a full system scan with the following two (one at a time, reboot in-between):

    After you perform a full scan with one then the other and remove anything they have all two are completely, you can uninstall these products, if you wish.  This initiative will allow to check there is no malware floating around your system which could cause problems.  If you ask - no, Norton probably does not protect you from what these applications can find.

    Download and run the MSRT tool manually:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx
    (Ignore the details and download the tool to download and save to your desktop, run it.)

    Reset.

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    Reset.

    Download/install the latest program Windows installation (for your operating system):
    (Windows XP 32-bit: WindowsXP-KB942288-v3 - x 86 .exe )
    (Download and save it to your desktop, run it.)

    Reset.

    and...

    Download the latest version of Windows Update (x 86) agent here:
    http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91237
    ... and save it to the root of your C:\ drive. After you register on the root of the C:\ drive, follow these steps:

    Close all Internet Explorer Windows and other applications.

    AutoScan--> RUN and type:
    %SystemDrive%\windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe /WUFORCE
    --> Click OK.

    (If asked, select 'Run'). --> Click on NEXT--> select 'I agree' and click NEXT--> where he completed the installation, click "Finish"...

    Reset.

    Now try usig the Fixit (Yes - try to use it again) to reset your Windows Components Update (you'll do the aggressive version, not the other):
    How to reset the Windows Update components?

    Reset.

    CHKDSK
    How to scan your disks for errors* will take time and a reboot.

    Defragment
    How to defragment your hard drives* will take time

    Reset.

    Now, open Internet Explorer, visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and do a CUSTOM search for updates.  Install any critical/high-priority ones and - for now - to ignore all those in option (always do this for material updates optional here.)

    Restart if necessary and continue to visit this web page until you have not yet updated to high priority.

    Now - if your problem is with the facilities of the .NET Framework...  You can end up with something like:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/08/28/8904493.aspx
    to uninstall a few versions of the .NET Framework, then you can try to install again - but you should not do this until the machine is supposed to be cleaned.
