How can I validate windows xp sp2?

Updates automatic dosen't work and no updates have been downloaded for a long time. And I can't run microsoft essentials security on my PC.

What do you mean by "validate the window xp sp2?"  You try to install SP2?  You can download the full package of SP2 here then install it without the need of automatic updates:

Windows XP Service Pack 2 network installation Package for IT professionals and developers

If you already have the Service Pack SP1a installed, then you can skip SP2 and install SP3 (SP3 includes SP2):

    Hello Raphael,.

    Christmas sent me to see if I had something that might help :-)

    My understanding of your situation, it's that your computer has a file system corrupted, if you used the manufacturer's recovery process to recover your computer if you "out-of-the-box".  I also noticed that you mentioned that recovery has given you the option has not your personal files in a place called "my old file Structures." Unfortunately, the recovery isn't going smoothly 100% and you encounter a problem of activation.

    The best tour I have up my sleeve is trying to "rearm" Windows Product Activation XP, which if it works will provide you with a grace period of 30 days, during which you can try to recover and backup your files from the old file Structure My, their credit on another storage (like external HDD or flash drives). Once your data is safe, then you can try to get another and hope this goes more smoothly this time. If this is not the case, your next step would be to contact the manufacturer to acquire the system disks required to run CD/DVD recovery rather than the recovery partition on the hard drive of your computer.

    If the computer can be started in a safe mode command prompt, run this option to rearm activation XP:

    Rundll32.exe syssetup, SetupOobeBnk

    The command must be typed exacly as above with space, caps, and comma.  Restart, and if it works, you will be able to log in normal mode (as opposed to safe mode) and will be in the 30-day activation grace period.

    Assuming that works, save your data, and then try the recovery again.  You will want to visit the support pages and community forum hosted by the manufacturer of your computer to search and see if the seeds of recovery are common for your make and model of computer - if yes, it is likely to be a fix for what you can implement.

    If this does not work, then your next task is to use an operating system off-line such as BartPE, Ultimate Boot CD, Knoppix, etc., to save your data from the saved location.  Once the data is turned off the computer and the safe, you can use the manufacturer's recovery disks (or disc OEM/systembuilder Microsoft at the generic address) to make a good clean install of Windows.

    Good luck! :-)
