Change the path to the updates from microsoft updates vs. windows
Fully updated, xp pro, ie8
When you click Start, all programs, windows update, go to the updates of microsoft with the compatibility view
which connection online for microsoft updates gets updates microsoft without compatibility view
can I change the path for my start, all programs, windows updates to be updated from microsoft without view compatibiliy?
Edit: have reinstalled os with a sp3 slipstreamed cd.
Edit2: no sites are not listed in my compatibility view settings.
There is no need to uninstall/reinstall MSE.
1. open IE (only!) to Microsoft Update . Click change settings in the left pane. Scroll to the bottom of the page. To stop using Microsoft Update. Disable the Microsoft Update software and let me use Windows Update only (check).
1B. Reboot for good measure.
2. your shortcut on the start menu should now be updated to Windows . [1] use it (not the Tools menu pull-down option) to go to http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate. Assuming that it does NOT open in compatibility mode...
3. "Flip" your source of default update appropriate Microsoft update by clicking on the option / link on the main page of Windows Update (IIRC).
3B. reboot for good measure & test to see if the Microsoft Update shortcut on your Start menu will however open IE8 in compatibility view.
PS: I don't have a WinXP box handy to test myself, but the last time I used the Microsoft Update shortcut on one of my client computers, it has not opened in compatibility view. As far as I know, MS may have changed something since then so YMMV.
=============================================================
[1] If you persevere with Windows Update as a source of update by default, MSE will always be 'auto-update' [even thought that Windows Update will offer more optional updates Defs] but will offer no updates to the ESM (e.g. new versions MSE) program or updates for MS Office, Silverlight, or Skype .

Not with Windows Vista Home Premium, you would need to upgrade to Vista Ultimate Edition and then change the language.

Cannot change the updates of Windows Vista and Norton 360
I can't change my settings to Windows Update under Vista. I am the administrator and the only user on the computer. I'm used to be able to make changes to the settings, but have not been able to do for a month. Around the same time this started, I have updated my Norton 360. These two things are related? How can I change the settings? Updates download and install fine, but I want to change the planning parameters. Help, please. The computer has restarted several times now, while things were open and caused problems.
Hello
Follow the steps here to reset the file or registry permissions

If that fails, run the System File Checker

I can't install the SP3 from Microsoft Update Center
I can't install the SP3 from Microsoft Update Center.So I contacted Microsoft Support and ran diagnostic scan tool and sent the results. They send e-mail attachment reset_subinacle. It's done. FAILED. I tried 3 times and 2 days later... still cannot copy beethov9.wma. file. So now what should I do to get this SP3 on my son's computer? My son has enough disk space for SP3 and I made sure and prepared for this installation. Does anyone know what I need to do? Help!

Yes, I'm familiar with your recent discussions on this particular computer as well as the fact that he gave to your son as a used computer. Be so familiar with the history of this computer, I feel confident in saying he was already infected when he gave your son.
I fear that the only way to get this computer secure and fully patched to Windows Update will be formatting the hard drive - and then do a clean install of Windows.
Since you don't have the disks that originally came with the computer (and assuming that the original owner would have given them to you when gave you the computer if there were), we must assume (or at least to cross our fingers and hope) that there is a hidden restore partition that could be used to return the computer to the condition it was before first it left the factory. I can assure you that can support Dell & will help you, if not directly through the Dell Community forum:http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514.aspx
Follow the instructions below:
Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!
HOW to do a clean install of Windows XP: see method 1 and http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html#steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978307
Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care ofeverything on the next page before otherwise connect the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the removal tool appropriate prior to installing the updates, Windows Service Packs or IE upgrades AND BEFORE installing your new anti-virus application (which will require WinXP SP3 must be installed).

If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility. Expect to pay about $150 USD (or more) for this service.

How to upgrade all the updates of Windows XP from a single package?
Original title: Windows XP updates
Is there an SP4 or a package that contains all of the updates of Windows XP after SP3 is released? It would be extremely useful to update all of the XP machines that do not have access to the internet.
There will be a version called SP4 update by private parties. This update has been treated since September of 2012. Currently, they are still working on it. You can access this information to
http://www.RyanVM.NET/forum/viewforum.php?f=5&SID=3058537efee42c994a4945a016f82cc3
Hope this helps, they recommend you to read the info from the beginning. With files and information, you can create an ISO file that can be used to create a version of XP from microsoft that you can use in the future. I do not recommend to use a good firewall and antivirus program to protect your system like back up your system regularly.
Personally, I'm going to build me a new computer.
