Hello Linda,.

One of the problems that you have is not knowing the best way to use this forum. If a proposed solution to a question does not work, you must reply to this message and tell the person why he does not. You answer by clicking on the button answer at the bottom of the post.

Creating a new question for this issue, it is not the best way to get your issue is resolved.

That said, if you read the instructions I have given in this thread...

http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_xp-windows_update/i-am-trying-to-update-my-Windows-XP-Home-Edition/ae21928e-62B0-4D2E-92E8-a9f1d35da16a

.. you will see that I said you don't need SP2, you can go directly to SP3. This may or may not solve your problem of download, but I do not think. If my suspicion is confirmed you can try to download on another PC or use another browser like chrome or firefox?

If download you on another PC, you can save the service pack setup programs for, for example, a USB key, which you can then take the PC afflicted and run directly from the key.

If you chose to go with my instructions, answer in this thread or in the thread above but stick with you answer in whichever you choose. Do not start a new question and do not switch between threads when you reply.

Or, if you want to support PA supporter who also answered one of your questions here...

    1. do you get an error message?

    2. What is the item number of kb of the update you have installed?

    I suggest you follow the provided methods to solve the problem:

    Method 1: run the clean boot:

    Perform a clean boot to determine if any 3rd party service is causing the issue:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After performing the steps to clean boot troubleshooting, follow step 3 from the link to start the computer to Normal startup mode.

     

    Method 2:

    Temporarily disable the security software and check if it helps.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable the antivirus software. 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 at the time the anti-virus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Note: Try to install the updates after these two methods, restart the computer and verify if you are able to install the updates.

    Reinstalling windows on a laptop computer in the format

    I'm reinstalling windows on the laptop of a friend that she sold to a person.  It has formatted and deleted all partitions (which I think included his info hidden windows), but could not find his CD to reinstall windows (she believes that she did not have a when she got the device, and I am inclined to think that the 'cd' was an image on a hidden partition).

    I have mine, but the product key on the bottom of the laptop does not work with my cd (he says it's an invalid code).  What I have to use old CDs to install windows or can I use another?  I just noticed that my cd is Windows XP Pro, and its key is Windows XP Home Edition.  Who count?  And if so, is it possible to get a new installation cd?

    Thank you very much in advance.

    Or the other

    (1) (preferably) order a set of manufacturer's recovery disc and reinstall the system using htem

    or

    (2) borrow a disc retail Windows of the same edition of a friend (the manufacturer NOT another recovery disc!) and use it for installation - you will then have to track down the appropriate/required drivers and install them. - and use the key from the COA of the sticker on the laptop to turn it on.

  • How can I re install windows 7 Home premium

    I downloaded widows 8 two weeks ago and, even if I like it, I found that it is not compatible with my Sony VAIO 3 year one-piece desktop computer because it windows * does not download some drivers like the built-in webcam and microphone.

    I need to re install Windows 7 Home Premium for which I bought through for download on the Microsoft Store in the United Kingdom. I have a product key and the purchase of reception ect. How I can do what I've searched and searched and cannot find any where on the internet that shows me how to do this. I would appreciate your advice and help, and more important again some instructions.

    When double boot with older versions of Windows, you must install the older version of Windows first (in this case Windows 7) on the boot drive. Create a partition, and then install Windows 8.

    Another thing, you would need a full version of Windows 8, Windows Pro 8 is an upgrade and you used to update the license of Windows 7 Home Premium eligible you want because you would be in non-compliance.

    Buy a full version of Windows 8

    If you want to build your own PC and install Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro or an additional operating system running in a virtual machine or a separate partition (including a Mac), you can buy Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro System Builder (OEM versions). If available in your country or region, Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro System Builder products can be purchased at participating stores, you will need to ask a the sales representative for more information.
