Cannot use the WIndows updates in Windows XP

Original title: re-installed windows XP Home Edition and the service packs, causing problems

I recently had to reinstall windows XP home, service Pack 1, 2, and 3.  I can't access updates on the microsoft site.  After the screen that shows that he is control of my computer and then taking me to the 2 choices for the updates - I usually choose recommended but regardless because green lights scroll in an infinite loop and I never move forward.  I used the program microsoft Fix that always finds a problem then it looks more problems which it said it fixed.  I think it is "down" for me.  After a more thorough review of the details, I read that the update files were not where they should have been.  Sometimes at startup, I get a message of recovery of the Windows registry, which reads "one of the files containing the system's registry data had to be recovered by use of a log or other copy.  Recovery succeeded.  I have problems with IE8 and Firefox browser have to close unexpectedly, but I hope it's because I need these updates.   I'm not terribly techno warned, so if anyone can offer some advice thanks to use the KISS method - keep it Simple Sweetheart.  Thank you.

    I have the day together system prompt before downloading and installing. When I had the time of who is running the last invite nothing would install and ' check for updates ' stopped working. The two move to a phase of 'work' but is not progressing.

    Search through this forum, I came to management may be incorrect which previously uninstall IE 11 must be the origin of the problem (System Troubleshooting update does not provide a solution) but when I download and try to re - install manually, it says that IE 11 cannot be installed as a more up-to-date version is already installed.

    He's not... Although a folder "internet explore" is always present; the ieinstal.exe is non-responsive (even when run as administrator) and I can't delete the folder because:

    My apologies if I missed the answer elsewhere and thank you in advance for any help.

    IE is not uninstalled or reinstalled unless you have a version of Windows N/K/KN, these have been sold in Europe and Korea.  It is a component of Windows Basic.

    Check your edition of Windows in the Control Panel, System.  There K/N/KN after the name of the [Home premium etc] edition?

    If this is not the case then you have a standard version and you can unload or reload IE to

    Control Panel,

    View by - small icons

    Programs & features,

    Turn on or off Windows features

    Set / uncheck the box next to Internet Explore [for reload / unload],.

    Ok

    Ok

    It will make you then restart the computer for the change to take effect.

    How did you "Uninstall" IE?  It is possible that this Act has damaged the system.

  • Cannot use the Windows Partition

    So, I have seen very similar messages and followed several forums, but I can't yet figure out what to do next.

    I have 8.1 Windows on my Mac.  I wanted to repartition the Windows partition and make bigger it because I was running low on space, and the Windows partition is what I use it mostly for graduate studies.  About a year ago, I took an easy youtube video and used Mini Wizard Partition re-partition space and it worked perfectly.  I have found the same video and tried to repartition the Windows partition again, but apparently I royally screwed up.

    My BootCamp is not yet visible more in disk utility.  Under the partitions, there is an option called "disk0s4" greyed, but I'm not allowed to do something with it.  I can't verify or repair.  If I go to Applications, BootCamp Assistant is there, but he wants me to start the installation of BootCamp.  It was not an option to restart Windows more, and when I turned on with alt + market, Windows was not an option more.

    I followed this tutorial:

    http://nerdr.com/bootcamp-partition-lost-repairing-Mac-partitions/

    and when I restarted my Mac, restart Windows was an option. So I thought that I fixed it! EVIL.  My screen was black and said: 'Missing Operating System '.

    I downloaded EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard for Mac (because it was another suggestion), and I was able to recover and see the files on the NTFS disk0s4, so I'm quite positive, they have not all been completely erased.  Or at least the part of basic Windows is still there.  I can't recover the drive to anything, because it tells me that I will just be fitness on the same drive, and I honestly don't know how to retrieve these files will help with the side of the partition of things.

    I also used TestDisk and it seemed to find my missing partition, but in the middle of analysing it, it says something like "disk too small."  After further research, I went through and took only the most recent score that seemed to be deleted with NTFS, and when you are trying to do, it would allow me to make a 'logic' partition because he said something in red, as 'bad file.'

    My Mac still works perfectly, but I'm terribly need to recover my windows.

    Here are my findings from a similar position:

    Now, my major dilemma is that in the original post, he said to the partition of the hybrids with the numbers of 3-4-5, but I was unable to do so.  When I tried 5, he said "partition does exist or is too large."  So I used the 2 3 4 numbers.  Now, I'm at the point where I use the w command (to write), but I don't want to do it if I didn't the other steps correctly.

  • Cannot use the Windows disc Image burner

    When I right-click on an ISO file, the option "burn disc image" does not appear. How can I use this program or set to its default value? (I have used other software with ISO files before. Does make a difference?)

If I select open with..., the Windows Disk Image burner is not an option. If you can direct me to the Image disk application recorder connect in my C drive, I could then set it as the default option.
