How can I know for sure if I have Service Pack 3 for Windows XP is installed on my PC? I get conflicting info... Please help!

I had some trouble with my desktop to the end. in any case, I went to check what programs are installed by going to the "Add/Remove Programs" option of the control panel.

When I chose this option and scrolled down to Windows XP - Service Pack 3 - there is no information next to him and he said ' for support please go...» "(and it me linked to the Windows XP SP3 download center;) HOWEVER - when I check the properties of my computer by going to the menu 'Start', then go to 'My Computer', do a right click on it and looking at its properties - THEN it says "Windows XP Professional - Service Pack 3".
So low line - I'm totally lost - how do I know if I really have SP3 for XP installed or not? and is there a danger for the download and the installation of SP3 for XP again? (or he stops the installation process and detect if I installed it already?)
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

Unless something happened during the installation, you should have SP3, if it shows it in the start menu, right-click on computer, properties, or that the other person said, start/run and type winver.  You can try to reinstall, and it won't hurt anything it either, although he can come and tell you already have installed and do not reach.

    There is not "later" version of XP - XP there and there is that Service Packs added to it.

    To know what Service Pack level you are to start - run and type in "winver" (without the quotes)

  • How can I know for sure if I do or do not have virus Zeus?

    Hi James,

    1. what browser did you use to access Facebook?

    2. what security software you used for the virus scan?

    I suggest you analyze your computer by using Windows Defender in offline mode. Windows Defender offline can help eliminate hard to find malicious and potentially unwanted programs using definitions that recognize the threats. Definitions are files that provide an encyclopedia of potential software threats. Armed with definition files, Windows Defender in offline mode can detect malicious and potentially unwanted software and then inform you of the risks.

    Note: There could be a loss of data while performing a mode offline scan using Windows Defender to remove viruses as appropriate.

  • How can I know for ASM disks real directory path

    Hello everyone, I am a novice using definitions of ASM and I need to know where all the data are stored in the operating system storage devices, but I don't know where it is exactly.

    Certain search queries, I found:

    Select GROUP_NUMBER, DISK_NUMBER, MODE_STATUS, STATE, NAME, path in v$ asm_disk

    And I realized that it is displayed in the path column, but in the examples, it shows normal IF the linux as path: ' / asm1/storage/datafile1_asm.20001.41010'

    Run the same query pending ASM the PATH column to show something like: "ORCL:PROD1_DATA30."

    So, does that mean? I don't see any path or similar. I thought that it was a directory of database, but looking in DB instance that is not exist.

    Any idea.

    Thank you.

    To find your disk/OS, you can run this command as root:

    asmdsk=`(cd /dev/oracleasm/disks/ && ls *  | awk '{ ORS=" "; print; }')`
    /etc/init.d/oracleasm querydisk -p $asmdsk |grep LABEL |awk '{print $1,$2}'
    
    e.g (on my env)
    # asmdsk=`(cd /dev/oracleasm/disks/ && ls *  | awk '{ ORS=" "; print; }')`
    # /etc/init.d/oracleasm querydisk -p $asmdsk |grep LABEL |awk '{print $1,$2}'
    /dev/sdb1: LABEL="DATA01"
    /dev/sdd1: LABEL="DATA02"
    /dev/sdh1: LABEL="DATA03"

  • How can I know what WiFi adapter I have on my T60

    Hi all

    I have a T60 laptop and have had problems with the wireless is disconnecting even with intense beep. Sometimes, after that it disconnects, I select the repair for reconnection. When I do that, I get a crash with blue screen.

    I downloaded the Intel Pro drivers from the support site, but I don't think they are good drivers.

    How do I tell exactly what wireless drivers I need and what kind of wireless adapter, care or other, I currently have?

    Thank you

  • How can I be 100% sure that I have a legitimate copy?

    I bought a copy of Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium student and teacher on ebay.com. I have already registered my product, installed (no problems with the installation) and have already been verified as a student. This proves that it is indeed a legitimate copy of the correct product? Or will I always be wary? Is it all possible ways I can double check this with Adobe just to be 100% sure? Or do I not need to worry at this point? Thank you!

    You can contact support and have them check the serial number.

  • just today, when I try to play AVI files from my digital camera... no sound plays on my pc with media player v11... I suspect it's a codec problem, but how do I know for sure?

    just today, when I try to play AVI files from my digital camera... no sound plays on my pc with media player v11... I suspect it's a codec problem, but how do I know for sure?

    Hello Jorstar1,

    Thank you for your message.  Windows Media Player 11 supports .avi, but compression can dictate whether he will play or not.  This is very probably a Codec issue, you can perform a websearch for a Codec that will play any avi compression.
    Please let us know if it did or did not help to resolve this problem.
    See you soon

  • How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

    How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

    I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.

    Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer

    I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.

    (1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?

    (2) what happens if I would have said yes?

    (3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.

    All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.
