• Cannot install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition or anything else on the internet.

  Hello

  I tried to download and install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition, or anything like that on the internet without success. According to me, the key word is internet or a block of Vista from the internet to install anything. Many people here get the same error 80070005 for SP2 as I am, but I think that the problem is with Vista, how the system allows any installs or blocks installed from the internet. I suppose that some are able to go through the download process, but installation is where it does not pass through. There are moments where it seems that the installation of SP2 works, but it will fail eventually. Other times what ever happens to the installation process. The same goes for all other downloads and installs from the internet. I am able to install a program that already exists on the computer, so I know that installs works just not the Internet. Do not send me a link to install because it probably won't last through. I may be able to download but installation will not pass by so that the program will not work. I used the words installation and internet a lot for some reason please take account, when responding.

  Thank you

• Install Service Pack 4 on Windows XP Home Edition, need Adobe program to print various Government and the USPS form

  I tried many times to print a simple USPS shipping label today, I could download a USPS 88 page manual, but not the program to print the label or the label.  They say that if I use Windows XP Home Edition, I have Service Pack 4 or later.  I can't find any reference to Service Pack 4 on Microsoft help programs.
  Now I'm wondering if there is a solution about my fate.  Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you

  There is no service pack 4 for Windows XP.

• How do you determine the activations how I left on an installation of windows xp home edition

  I have a pc I erased some viruses and malware, but seems to have a corrupted registry. I reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition several times with the cd that I bought at the store a few years back. It was my understanding I could install this particular cd not more than 5 times for a single pc. Over the years I've lost track of the way that many times I reinstalled and reactivated this facility. What should I do to see how many activations I left before I reformat and reinstall with this cd and find out that I don't have a working after all installation?

  There is no limit to the number of times you can activate a retail Windows XP version as long as it is only to be installed/reinstalled on one computer.  However, the relocations within a relatively short time may ask you to activate Windows XP by phone.

• Can not install the new copy of windows xp home edition

  A friend has built a computer for me and my friend it works for me.  Everything goes ok, then it stops working because the friend has installed a pirated copy of Windows XP Professional on this topic.  OK, I'm a little angry, but I can cope.  I had bought a new copy, never been used before, Windows XP Home Edition a couple of years to my old copy that I ended up not using.  When this happened, I thought it would be great, I could install that.  So, I turn on my new computer and let it boot.  When it comes to the screen, saying that I don't have an authentic copy of Windows installed, I open my CD drive, and then press the button so he can go back into the computer.  I have no mouse or keyboard control so I can't select all and nothing happens after that the disk will inside.  Nothing, I can't even hear anything running.   I would try to solve this problem without having to take Office Depot where they charge me $ 99 for "try" to fix it.  I don't have a job, so fix me it is my only option.  Any help out there in the cyberland?  Thanks for any help.  I'm on my dad's computer if you're wondering how I'm even able to send this way.  Laughing out loud

  I do not understand what you're doing or why nothing seems to happen, but the fundamental question that you have, it's that you cannot "upgrade" from XP Pro to XP Home.

  Assuming you can still start Windows (even if you get the notice that it is not authentic), copy all your data on some external support (external drive, USB flash, CD, DVD) and then perform a new installation of XP Home.  Once Windows is installed, you need to restore these data and you will need to re - install applications (programs) that you have installed (for example, Microsoft Office), so you'll need to find the installation for the applications media.

  Because it is a home-built computer, you must obtain all the necessary drivers on the web sites of various hardware manufacturers.  Most likely you will need are motherboard (chip), display (video), (audio), network (including wireless and modem) and any device (e.g., printers).

  Use the computer that you use to post here in order to download drivers and save them to a flash drive or burn them on a CD.

  I guess that your boyfriend (ex?) didn't give you all the documents with the computer (e.g., the motherboard manual or manuals for other equipment he installed).  If you can enter in your current Windows installation, click Start > run > msinfo32 > OK.  Click on the 'Components' category and look at the different devices to determine their models and manufacturers.  Motherboard information (you need to get the drivers of chip set) is not indicated in msinfo32.  Use BelArc Advisor (free)

  How to do a clean install of XP:

  http://www.theeldergeek.com/xp_home_install_-_graphic.htm
  http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html

  Don't forget - when installing from a Windows XP CD, you'll probably not the current service pack (service pack 3) and you will certainly not have current security patches.  You too have an antivirus.  Get instant access to Windows Update (do not go to other websites) and download critical updates.  Probably, this will take time and may require several reboots and go back to Windows Update.  When all updates have been installed, install an antivirus.

  If you are willing to pay for an anti-virus, eSet NOD antivirus (not the "suite").  Otherwise, I suggest Microsoft Security Essentials or Avira AntiVir Personal.  At some point after that things are settled down, you should also get the free versions of MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and SUPERAntiSpyware.  You don't need the "pro version" that work all the time; You must only update and run these scanners on a periodic basis just to be sure that you have not picked up a malware that is slipped beyond your anti-virus.

• Cannot install game or applications in Windows 7 Home Edition computer.

  Original title: Windows Installer problems - Windows 7 Home Edition.

  I am running Windows 7 Home Edition 64-bit. I tried to install a game last night and at the start of the installer it disappears from the screen and I find myself with an icon in my taskbar tasks that wont open. Sometimes, if I'm lucky and let him go, he will open full screen and allow me to continue with the installation. I thought maybe it was just the game that I was installing. So I tried to install something else non-related and it appears the installer, but the bar never moves. I try to shut it down and he even used close. It will cancel, but even after I cancel, Setup is still used in the process. I've looked everywhere and cannot find a solution to this problem.

  I tried unsubscribing msiexec and re-enrollment it and no luck

• How to install a network printer in Windows 8?

  Hello

  Need help.

  I have an Epson L210 printer installed on Windows XP computer and the printer is shared. Other computers in the network and all this are Windows XP, everything can connect to the printer.

  This is the problem, the L210 Epson can be seen from the device and printers, option to add a printer to my laptop Win 8 but the problem is when I try to connect, the system can not find the driver to install the printer in my laptop Windows 8. The most funny thing is when I try this with Windows 7 and XP PC, I can easily connect and install the printer.

  What gives?

  TNX in advance.

  Given that Windows 8 is much more recent and has a lot of changes in XP cover, the same driver may not work.

  Download the driver for the printer from Epson.com. If it is not a driver Win 8, trying to find one for Win 7. Unzip the driver on your hard drive - if you run the downloaded installer, you will be able to decompress the files.

  When you add a printer, rather than letting Windows find the driver, select the option to choose the driver manually. It lets you choose a location - pointing to the folder you unzipped the driver to.
