    I have the laptop (Toshiba satellite) friend who's stuck in the installation of the service Pack 1.  I have service pack 2 and am wondering, since I can't fix with this cd, can I install service Pack 2 on it without loss of data or files?

    PC claims service pack1 cd with file asms

    When you use service pack 2 cd can not load product catalogues, it is fatal error, the Setup logs files should contain more information.

    Why not integrate Service Pack 2 and Service Pack 3 on her XP CD by following the instructions here (using another PC):

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/1443.aspx
    Copy all data on an external hard drive, do a clean install using the XP CD updated (preferably on the BIOs)
    Then, install the drivers from the system, then Microsoft Security Essentials, Windows 7 Firewall Control (XP free Version) and Malwarebytes' AntiMalware (free or Pro) or whatever you prefer security.

  • I can't install service pack 3, I get an error that ntkrnlpa.exe is in use by another application

    I search on the forum and found that another user had the same problem but nobody answered.

    What happened is that I had a few viruses that my computer shuts down completely.  I have simply no money to buy or update of protection against the virus at the moment.  So, my computer crashed.  Then I had to use my system restore disks to restore my computer.  Then, after that I restored my computer now goes to the blue screen and scans files each time.  At the end of the list is a message: unable to write to the boot sector (according to me, it is said).

    Then I accidentally downloaded a virus.  He was disguised as a MS program and was called FixIt.  I couldn't get down there and he asked for credit card information.  I don't give any information and was able to use a browser to display the McAfee, then remove.  Then I used Malwarebytes to remove some other virus.  Not knowing what else to do, I tried to defrag and received an error message that my C: drive has been corrupted.

    My CD Player no longer works and my computer has problems.  I thought that if I downloaded the FixIt problem, it could solve some of the problems it is to have my computer.  It won't work because I have not installed Service Pack 3.

    When I try to intall Service Pack 3, it extracts files and brings me to setupwizard and then gets up to a certain point, and I get an error message as follows:

    c:\windows\system32\ntkrnlpa.exe file is open or in use by another application.

    I don't know what else to do.  I have everything turned off.  I tried to download and save to my desktop and it still won't work.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    When I ran Process Explorer, I have disabled this file ntkrnlpa.exe.  I couldn't tell what was using this file - but I got the Google Redirect virus, so I thought that a virus has access to this file and prevents me from doing anything.  I don't know if that was the case, it was just my guess that it was what was going on.

    It worked for me.  It temporarily disables this file and then you can install Service Pack 3.

    I received instructions on my site quietfish.ca if you want to check.

    My computer is running on battery power, even if it is plugged.  My battery is not, but it's OK since I use as a desktop replacement system, and it works fine.  Unfortunately, the update of Windows Vista Service Pack 2 will not install.  How to ignore the condition to be plugged, or tell my stupid computer it is plugged and won't run out of juice during installation?

    [It seems to me that you will have to replace the battery before installing SP2. YMMV]

  • Windows XP install Service Packs 1, 2 and 3

    I have a secondary old Dell desktop PC. The Intel graphics chips and drivers were originally produced by Intel only for XP or XP Pro for this configuration of office. I had to reinstall my XP Pro HARD drive problems. XP Pro installed OK, no problem. I have need of SP 1, 2, and 3 to update the operating system to improve the graphics, who are in default of 640 X 480 16-bit VGA mode of operation.

    I use this machine for a program of database of previous flat file called Q and A 4, I need.

    Here is the link for SP2

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?ID=28

    you don't need to install SP1 first, and you only need to install this if your relocation was not already SP1 or later version.

    Here is the link for SP3

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?ID=24

    You can go straight for this installation if you already have a service pack installed.

    Here's the downloadable installers so obviously, you will need to download on another PC and save it on a USB key (for example) or other portable media. The links take you directly to a download prompt. If you see something Microsoft Advisor downloads are for networks or professionals to ignore it.

    This will not only fix your graphics problems. You need to get the drivers for your graphics card in the manufacturer's Web site. If you want further help let us know more details about your system Dell (serial number and/or range/model).

    Graphics drivers are probably not the only drivers you are missing. Install the Intel chipset drivers above all other device drivers. Go to the Dell support site and enter your service tag to get a list of drivers

    http://www.Dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/products/

    You can download them in the same portable medium that you use for the service packs.
