  • Installation of Service Pack 3 for Windows Home edition

    "Automatic updates" relative since I purchse my computer 6 years ago, each update has been installed with the exception of Service Pack 3. Downloadibf the SP3 manually then downloads the Package of Network Installation for developers and information technology professionals which, once registered, will not be loaded to the top. The mwssage received "Service Pack 3 c:\78e90c22920ad824c7\386\update\update.info file is not correct" - that someone has an answer, and how can I install SP3?

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/322389 check this page and the proposed solutions. If you can't always install SP3 after look at the bottom of the page under the heading "Order Windows XP Service Pack 3 on a CD" they cost about $4 plus taxes and shipping. My connection is cellular and expensive to download a service pack, so I buy all the more it is faster to install from the CD and you still if you need again.

  • Cannot install Service Pack 1 for Vista - error 0 x 80073712

    Hello

    I don't know what im do please understand me if you can.

    OK I'm dave and tried to download Windiws Vista SP1, because it is not in my Windows updates.
    When I tried to do I have so many things, but after the download, then when he goes to confirm, the number 0 80073712 x.

    I've got intouch with Microsoft and they took my cell phone and tried to do what they can, but in the end told me to get intouch with Toshiba that I have corrupted files.

    So if anyone can help me I would be very gratefull thanks.

    Hello

    Microsoft said that your files are corrupt? Well, bad news. I think that you need to reinstall Windows Vista again and then will be updated to SP1

    By the way; Why you n t want to automatically do the update to Vista?
    It s much saver and I think that much easier and you are always up to date.

    Good bye

    Through the windows update install Service Pack 2 and keep getting error 0x800f0818.  Have run fixit and the tool of analysis, but always in error.  Looked this error but can't find anything about it.  How can I fix it?

    I think that what PA bear is coming in the post previous is that service pack will contain Vietnamese Windows updates necessary for their release.

    A little/sorta...

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

    See you soon.
