  • Using Xp SP3 update does not connect to the server

    Update using Xp SP3.  Normally connect every month and update.  For the first time, try to connect to a failed update patch - the returned message is failure - the server page that is in the page does not.  Try again immediately and on several days gives the same result. Update downloaded fixit, ran and the report was no errors so no patches applied. All my other internet functions are running OK. So, what's the problem in Richmond?

    Well, I'm quite sure that committed Microsoft Support Engineer 'expert' is just send you on another of their many wild goose hunting.

    Surely, Imran M will come up with some other ideas - it's their job and they are the ones that Microsoft hired as their "experts".

    Tell us exactly the message that see you in its entirety, follow this:

    No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

    Download, install, update and do a quick scan with these free malware detection programs (not at the same time) and remove all threats:

    Hi Alaa' Kabbani,.

    1. did you of recent changes made to your computer?

    2. which antivirus app do you use?

    3. What is the brand and model of your computer?

    I suggest to follow the steps below and we update on the State of the question.

    Method 1: Disconnect any new hardware

    If you have recently installed a new hardware device, the necessary driver so that the material can not be installed or the driver may be damaged or incompatible. To determine if this is true, follow these steps:

    1 unplug the appliance.

    2. restart Windows XP.

    If Windows XP starts successfully, there is a driver problem with the new material. Contact the manufacturer of the device for drivers updated to the device or to learn more about known hardware issues, so that you can reinstall the device.

    For information about how to contact the manufacturer of the device, refer to the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/GP/vendors

    (http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vendors)

    Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. These details may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information.

    If this method resolved the issue, you are finished. If this method does not work for you, go to method 3.

    Method 2: Disable automatic reboot in case of system failure

    If the system reboots continuously, do the following:

    1. reboot the computer.

    2. as the computer restarts, press the F8 key repeatedly until you see the Windows Advanced Options screen.

    3. use the arrow keys to select disable automatic system error rebootand press ENTER.

    4. If you receive an error message, follow these steps to search the Microsoft Knowledge Base for useful information about the error message:

    a. copy the text of the error message.

    b. visit the following Microsoft Web site:

    http://support.Microsoft.com

    (http://support.microsoft.com)

    c. type the text of the error message in the Search box, and then type the name of the product you are using, for example "Windows XP".

    d. click on Searchand try to find an article that will help you solve your problem.

    If this method worked, you have resolved the problem of your computer restarts continuously. However, you can continue to troubleshoot driver problems. See the "Symptoms" section again and determine which method to use to solve the problem.

    If this method worked, you are finished. If this method does not work for you, please try Method 3.

    Method 3: Use the known last good Configuration feature

    If you can start the computer successfully, you can use the known last good Configuration feature. This feature uses information that was saved the last time that you shut down the computer before the problems started. This feature allows to restore your registry settings and drivers to the previous information.

    If you are not completely sure what that means, don't worry. None of these reviews will damage your computer. However, you should be aware that if you do this, any changes made to your computer after the date of last known good configuration will be lost.

    If you have recently installed a driver and know a configuration problem, this method will probably work for you. Unfortunately, this feature does not solve the problems caused by missing drivers or corrupt or files.

    To use the last good known Configuration, follow these steps:

    a. restart the computer.

    (b) that the computer restarts, press the F8 key repeatedly until you see the Windows Advanced Options screen.

    c. use the arrow keys to select last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked), and then press ENTER.

    d. If you are prompted to select an operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system and press ENTER.

    If this method worked, your computer is restored to a good working state. You still have to investigate on what caused this problem. To do this, please see the "Next steps" section for troubleshooting resources more.
