How to get home edition xp2.

Recently I had to reformat my hard drive.  When I updated the home edition of Windows XP, I realize that SP 2 is no longer supported.  Can you tell me how to get service pack 2 and the drivers, etc.

Thank you

SP2 is not supported because there is a SP3 for xp. Instead of download the SP2, just download SP3 instead.

  • XP Home Edition Accessories folder has been uninstalled by accident, how do I get that back without the cd.

    I have xp home edition, but the folderhas accessoriy uninstalled by accident, how can I get that back without the cd. I have dp does not have a partitioned hard drive, it has been deleted when cleaning a few months ago by a so-called professional

    If you mean that start > all programs no longer displays an entry for 'Accessories', then all that is removed is a set of shortcuts you can easily recreate (assuming that it is not in your basket).  The actual programs that are related to 'Accessories' are still there.

    To check, click Start > run, then type each of the following in the box run and then click OK

    Notepad.exe--> should start Notepad
    mspaint.exe--> should start painting
    cmd.exe--> should open a command prompt window

    Because the default ' accessories' menu includes submenus for accessibility, communication and entertainment, it's a bit tedious searching for all executables, create shortcuts and bring together them in a folder to display in the start menu.  I haven't used, but this utility says it does exactly what that (and this is from a trusted site): http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Accessories.htm

    my mother-in-law is trying to reinstall windows xp home edition 2, but does not have its product number or key... How can I find out who it is?

    Thank you very much!

    What brand is the PC?  Most system builders put the key on the side of the Machine.  If it's a laptop, it should be on the bottom of the laptop.

    It is all the information that we will be able to give you.  If you are unable to find the key, then you will need to purchase a new license.

    How to get the source to windows vista Home premium recovery is not from the recovery partition and gives me an error message

    Hello

    Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • How to get the video intro off my google home screen I already saw it, where is the firefox logo used to be.

    How to get the video intro off my google home screen I already saw it, where is the firefox logo used to be. I started with the last update that I rebooted.

    Hello
    to change the homepage when opening firefox-press 'Alt' and click on tools-> Options.

    Main menu, you can change the URL.

    If the problem persists, you can follow these simple steps:

    Enter about: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Accept the message of 'dragons' to see the Advanced preferences screen. Use the above search box to enter the below pref.

    You can assign an empty string to stop your Firefox to retrieve "extracts" and brandLogo changes the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref. Right-click this pref and select Edit then clear the value as pref in the box that appears, and then click OK. Who will also disable "snippets" that appear under the container of the research on the default home page.

    Then you must open the folder of your profile, via help > Troubleshooting Information > profile folder > > button view folder. Then close Firefox. Your profile file open with Firefox closed (Firefox '3-bar' menu key > exit/Quit), wait or two minutes, then remove the storage\moz-safe-about + home folder in the Firefox profile folder to remove the brandLogo and stored in IndexedDB code snippets to make Firefox use the default brandLogo and a defined default code snippet.

    If you later change your mind about these changes, you can reset the pref browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl via the context menu and Reset allows to retrieve the default value using the storage\moz-chest-fort-about + home folder again.

  • Windows XP Home edition has crashed - how to return WXP and use with the product key?

    Hello. I bought an Equium L20 last year and after 1 year my windows crashed due to a virus. I want to know how to get a real windows xp OS because the product under my laptop key is always saved for me and is a legitimate product but I can't get windows because it was obviously preinstalled and no CD was given to me with the package.

    How can I get back Windows to use with my product key on my WIN sticker below my laptop.

    Hello

    First of all, it is very strange that recovery CD is not delivered with your laptop. It's hard to believe, but anything is possible. As you know after buying a new product, it is very important to check all orders sent with it and if something is missing, you must call the local as soon as possible and not to wait a year.

    Sorry but this key code belongs to original recovery image and you can't use it with every installation of Windows XP Home edition CD. In your case, there are two options:
    -You can buy the CD of facilities Microsoft original WXP (with the key correctly code) or
    -Contact the partner of service allowed in your country and order the new CD from recovery for your laptop model.

    All that s!

    Bye and good luck!

  • Can I get a restore CD from HP for my Windows Vista Home Edition?

How can this be corrected?

    Hi KevinRy,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Unplug all external devices.

    Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

    Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

    1.

    Right-click my computerand then click Properties.

    2.

    Click the Advanced tab.

    3.

    Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.

    4.

    Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.

    5.

    Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

    Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

    Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.
