get rid of update service pack 3 Setup
My son hit yes to accept automatic updates, so the Automatic Update Setup program for the service pack 3 has arrived. I don't want to install service pack 3, but can't recall update for it to go. I'm afraid that my son it will strike one day by mistake and it will start to install automatically. How to remove? Thank you
There is no Service Pack 3 for Vista; but it is for XP.

Put your search inside the quotes term allows when you search for the exact error messages:
"Service Pack 3 installation cannot update an active (debug) system with a free (retail)"
The first shot has the answer: http://www.askvg.com/windows-xp-sp3-setup-error-cannot-update-a-checked-debug-system-with-a-free-retail-version-of-service-pack-3/
CurrentType at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion value should read "Uniprocessor Free" or "free multiprocessor".

I am trying to install SP3 on my XP Pro. I get a notice on my screen, stating: "Service Pack 3 Setup error - the system cannot find the file specified." Don't know what I'd do. Thank you. Peter glass
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.

If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Method 2
You can reset the grocery store.
a. click on start, then run.

I need to install Microsoft NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1, as it is necessary to perform a Dell diagnostic Test, but I've been advised that: Setup has detected that this computer does not meet the requirements to install this software. Requirement: Windows install 3.1.
However, when I look at the download page of Windows Installer 3.1 is not actually as for XP with SP3. I tried anyway and: Setup has determined that the version of Service Pack for this system is newer than the update you are applying. There is no need to install this update. Well actually it is there...
Is there a way to get around this?
