Can I reinstall and update XP Pro?
My 10 year old computer running WinXP Pro SP2. I have the original CD of the o/s. I would like to install a new and more large hard drive, and then reinstall the o/s. If I do this, I will then be able to download all the updates? Any other comments/suggestions will be welcome. Thank you.
My 10 year old computer running WinXP Pro SP2.
What is the current service pack level or the service pack level that he began to?
If you decide to go with a clone as Ken suggested or a new installation, you should get the PC to SP3 level and use Windows updates from there.
If you re-install, firstly do not do any Windows updates until you're in SP3. If the clean install level is "no service pack installed" you must first download and install the SP2 of...

After that, or if you are already at SP1 or higher you must download and install SP3 for... http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24
Don't worry about the text which says that these are network facilities, they work very well for standalone computers.
If your PC is currently stable and work to your satisfaction I would seriously consider cloning. If you are not satisfied with certain aspects of health or the State of your PC, you may want to consider a clean install.
If you opt for a new installation, you will also need to install all your hardware drivers for devices on mother and expansion cards. You have the installation media for all your gear? Do the installation without the original disk installed and install only the original disc after that you are happy that Windows is up-to-date, protected against malware and usually work OK with all the necessary drivers. You will then be able to copy the data to your new hard drive on the old.

Difficulty it has disabled my updates and I can't reinstall the update files and I can't even report
My automatic updates did not work: hang on to 2% or some patch downloaded to diagnose the so-called rpoblem difficulty he solved the problem but then said I had to register/reinstall update files; When I go to the microsoft website to reinstall, I can't do that... then I tried to present a report on the relocation failed... and I can't do same! what the * is at my PC, I tried the thing "net stop wuauserv" and who did nothing I tried the regsvr32 MSXML3.dll thing (as well as other dll files) and doing anything please help. Suggestions? Uninstall the update files? Back to a Restore Point? I have Windows XP with microsoft security essentials and NO OTHER antispyware
1. you have completely removed the AVG Free before you've installed MSE (originally).
2 and should have removed entirely the Norton application (or free-trial) before (the original) that you have installed AVG Free.
3. only one 1 antivirus should be installed & loading at startup at any given time.
[Note: McAfee System Scan Plus is installed, load at startup or include no real-time protection.]
4 yet the computer is still at least ten 10 reviews of security updates missing, one dating from February 2011.
5. misguided use of registry cleaners may have something to do with all this. [1]
Given the above (especially #4), my recommendation stands.
======================================================================

Home built computer with Vista installed detail. I always have backups who intend to reinstall on the machine even if the HDD or MB went bad. Full image backup was on the hard drive of withdrawal which do not damaged. Never planned to lose computer any wave of sandstorm. I reinstalled on the same computer successfully before but never tried to migrate to a new computer. Cannot uninstall Vista from your old computer, because it was submerged in salt water and died. I am not very well informed, but I can follow directions. Thank you.
You don't have to worry about uninstall on the destroyed computer, because it is not usable.
And no message is sent when you uninstall any computer anyway.
When you perform the Activation on the new computer, if you have problems of activation to the phone option I have included and do not take the road to auto answer, but brace yourself for a real person to talk to you.
Then you can explain what happened.

System Mechanic is your troublemaker & you have lots of company!
See my colleague Maurice RESPONSE message in this thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/d6fedf33-dc1b-451f-9aab-97429f916180
If still no joy, contact System Mechanic (iolo.com) supported for assistance-, they are well aware of the problem application has caused!

If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop disk image (dmg)
- Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
- Install the new version you downloaded
Your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re) install Firefox.

In my code, I have a while loop making quick gripping (sampling)
How can I update other digital controls in the front panel when the while loop runs?
right now, once I have enter a number in this digital control, the computer seems to be no answer to the elbow. Looks like the computer focuses on the while loop.
