Error message after extraction of sp3 for XP Pro: System cannot find the path specified.

XP Professional installation error message after extraction of sp3 on hard disk, message: System cannot find the path specified.
Whenever I try to install, I get the same message. How can I fix it? I can't use the "fix" without sp3 installed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

"system cannot find the path specified".

A google search revealed this can help...

Also, what is your level of service current pack (start-run then type Winver, and then press enter)? If you have no current service pack level, you must first install SP2. Unfortunately, the link for that

doesn't seem to work today. If all goes well he'll be reinstated soon.

  • Error: System cannot find the path specified during the installation of most of the programs of the C drive

    I can't install most of the system disk c.It programs always show me "system cannot find the path specified." But, when I copy it to a disk D it starts installing. Most of the programs is not installed properly, because it seems that they cannot access some areas on the system drive. I tried already to check drive C for errors. It did not help. »

    I solved my problem. It seems that Windows 7 creates additonal 100 MB partition with the system partition. When I reinstall Windows 7 I formatted the C drive but not the extra partition and perhaps this conflict has caused. I installed the system again but I have two of these drives formatted and it works normally again. Thanks anyway.

    That's good news. I think you also need to analyze of rootkits being on the right side. So, now:

    Search for rootkits with a program SPECIALLY designed to detect and remove the (aswMBR):

    Download this file to your desktop. Double-click the icon to run the program. When the opportunity to download and install the latest Avast definitions do.
    Run a scan. Results in red indicate that this was not a false positive! Do you need to remove the rootkit (including "FixMBR" if necessary).

    And finally, leave your PC on overnight and search for viruses, using this site:
    Once we are convinced that your PC is clean, here are my instructions (just in case where you still cannot run batch of Geek-Tech file, etc.):

    1. download the installation of SP3 and IE8 (beforehand) files. I prefer to keep these (and other useful files) on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links for the installation files:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)

    (You can TOTALLY ignore the message "intended for it professionals"!)

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)

    (You need to install IE8 AFTER SP3! Trust in me.)

    IMPORTANT NOTE!

    It is VERY important to ensure that Internet Explorer is at the level IE6 before installing SP3. In case you have IE7 or IE8, you must uninstall it / them, using the Control Panel Add / Remove programs. Let us know if you need assistance with this.

    Once again:

    Make sure that IE is IE6 level before installing SP3. You can go directly from IE6 to IE8 after SP3 has been installed.

    2. disconnect Internet. Also unplug all unnecessary devices.

    3. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:

    Start | Control Panel (switch to Classic view if not already selected). Automatic updates

    4 set up a clean boot. The last thing you need is for a program that runs in the background to interfere with these updates! (It happens!) For more information:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    (Note that this is the same as setting up a "Diagnostic boot.")

    Reset.

    5 install the SP3. Restart TWICE.

    6 switch to IE8. Restart TWICE.

    (What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

    7 unscrew the clean boot. (That is, return to the Normal startup).

    8 make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should already be):

    Start | Control Panel | Security Center

    9 visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.

    10 re - enable automatic updates.

  • Audio service does not not after download of Creative, restarts, error 0 x 80070002, the system cannot find the file specified

    Yesterday, I downloaded and installed updated Creative to my its Soundblaster card from Windows Update.  It lead me to a large download of Creative for its console related sound and SW, and things worked fine.  When I restarted this morning, there was a horrible loud hum while Windows was loading, and I made a hard stop.  When I rebooted, the buzz was gone, but the icon in the status bar indicates that the sound was off.  The sound message indicates that the audio service is not running.  I tried to restart the computer several times, but the results were the same.  I tried to restart the audio service of the Task Manager, but got an error message 0 x 80070002, the system cannot find the file specified.  Where should I go from here?

    Hi Jfklinger,

    This problem occurs because some legacy applications use files or components that were developed prior to Windows Vista. The names of these audio components may be different in Windows Vista. If the calling application uses the hard-coded file names, the new files and components could not be found.

    To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods to change the audio settings for a device.

    Method 1: use the order Volume of Windows

    To use the Volume of Windows command to change the audio settings for a device, follow these steps:

    1.right - click on the speaker icon in the notification area, and then click devices recording or reading.
    2. double-click - click the device for which you want to set the parameters. For example, double-click on Microphone.
    3. click on the levels tab.
    4. move the cursor upwards or downwards to set the desired volume level, and then click OK.

    Method 2: use Control Panel

    For control panel allows you to change the audio settings for a device, follow these steps:

    1. click on Start, click Control Panel, click hardware and soundand then click sound.
    2. click on the tab playback or recording .
    3. double click the device for which you want to set the parameters. For example, double-click on Microphone.
    4. click on the levels tab.
    5. move the cursor upwards or downwards to set the desired volume level, and then click OK.

    You may receive an error message when you run an application that uses the recording feature or audio playback in Windows Vista

  • [HELP] I/o Error: Cannot run program "jar": CreateProcess = 2 error, the system cannot find the file specified

    Hi, I'm new developer on the Blackberry platform.

    I make the first application, but there is a problem when I wanted to install in the Simulator.

    My application has several screen and each take the server data, analyzing the data and displays on the screen.

    My problem is any executable thread.

    When I'm using the code below, it is fine. My application can work perfectly on a simulator.

    public TestingScreen() {
       // Runnable thread = new Runnable(){
       //   public void run() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            // my code get data from server
            Dialog.alert("Hii");
       //   }
       //};
       //new Thread(run).start();
    }
    

    but, if you use floor area or UiApplication.getUiApplication (.invokeLater), I got error "i/o Error: cannot run program"jar": CreateProcess = 2 error, the system cannot find the file specified"

    public TestingScreen() {
       Runnable thread = new Runnable(){
          public void run() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            // my code get data from server
            Dialog.alert("Hii");
          }
       };
       new Thread(run).start();
    }
    

    I have the 11 screen and all have executable statement and works perfectly. Can run in the Simulator, can get data from the server. But when I create the new #12 screen (copy paste other on-screen), page couldn't use an executable statement. Each I use Runnable/thread, I got error. But when I remove an executable statement my work normally requires.

    I already have Google but I do not get the answer.

    Please advice. Thank you very much.

    Kind regards.
