can not update xp or IE after system recovery

I did a system restore on my computer XP 32 bit. I have not checked to see if he had 1 SP installed, but I had a disc for SP 2 and manually installed SP 3.
I can't install WIndows updates, due to the fact that I need of IE 7 or higher. IE 7 won't install because I guess he needs updates of some sort? How can I solve this problem?

I tried to install Service Pack 1, but it wouldn't work because I installed SP 3.

Thank you for your help

4. after recovery, your office is always show files that were there before the recovery?

Describe the very next step you take after you have completed the recovery. The files are still there, but some are missing such as 2007 Microsoft Office and other programs, but my documents are still there

This means that is non-destructive recovery of Compaq and have without doubt both times. I would say that a re - install destructive is in order and follow my previous instructions that were for a clean install. Note that this will destroy the data so if your data is important you must save it first, ideally twice in two separate devices. If you are worried about data loss, I suggest putting in the hands of a professional, but do not expect to take any responsibility for your data. If someone is able, they may not cover all the possibilities (e.g., disk failure) and we your data must be your responsibility.

In the light of your PC is one that may require the patch from HP/Compaq AMD I have revised my instructions for you below...

Print what you want from this Web site that you can access on the PC hit after the new installation. After the installation you're using IE6 that this site does not work with!

Get these downloads (click the link) and have them on a CD or a USB key (ignore warnings from Microsoft gives you need to be an IT pro or using Windows updates in place)

SP2 (only if your recovery is a "no service pack at all" XP or is a Media Center XP)

SP3 (only if your recovery is pre - SP3)

AMD patch (only if your recovery is pre - SP3)

IE8 (do not leave Microsoft direct you to a later version, IE8 is as good as it gets for XP)

Make sure you have your antivirus solutions and handy greater security as (CD/download).

  • Back up your data
  • Disconnect from the internet (remove the cable Ethernet or a wireless device?)
  • Disconnect all devices except the screen, keyboard and mouse.
  • Make the new facility (the driver installation should not be necessary for a resumption of Compaq)
  • Remove Norton (use the deletion tool that rocks of XP has suggested)
  • Install SP2 (only if there is no service pack at all after the recovery, or it is XP Media Center)
  • Install the patch from HP/Compaq AMD (if recovery is pre - SP3)
  • Install SP3 (if recovery is pre - SP3)
  • Install IE8
  • Install antivirus/security
  • To connect to the internet
  • Update antivirus/security
  • Windows Update
  • Install remaining desired hardware/software
  • Restore your data

Do not use Windows updates or driver "detectives" update/install drivers.

Do not try to use Windows Update, until SP3 is installed.

Do not install IE8 or any other software as long as you are at SP3.

Make sure to use restore points in case something goes 'shaped pear.
