Before you are able to go to Windows Update to get all security updates needed (Yes, they are still available), you must have service pack 3 installed.

If your installation CD includes SP3, access Windows Update when you have completed the installation.

If your installation CD includes sp 1, 1 a sp or sp2, download and install sp 3 from here--> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24 , but before you install it, read this--> http://msmvps.com/blogs/harrywaldron/archive/2008/05/08/windows-xp-sp3-read-all-prerequisites-for-a-successful-installation.aspx

If your installation CD does not include service packs, download and install sp2 before you install sp 3--> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28

Before going to Windows Update, download and install IE 8--> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/internet-explorer-8-details.aspx

Don't forget to install an antivirus software before connect you to the Internet.

  • How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup?

    How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup on Windows XP folder?

    Hello

    The first step is to identify the program that represents the icon and decide whether it should be in the system tray (most are not necessary). Hold the cursor of the mouse on the icon to see the name of the program that launches the icon.

    The best bet is to click the icon to see if this opens the box of the program options. If so, look for a selection similar to "remove from the system tray.

    Alternatively, you can hide the icons in the system tray.

    Here's how:

    1. right click on the taskbar and select "Properties".

    2. in the "Notification area" click "Hide inactive icons" if she already unchecked and then click on the button "Customize".

    3. click on the ' column next to each of your current behavior and choose one of the three behaviors for each program icon that appears in the system tray: "Hide when it is idle," "Always hide", or "always show".»

    If you hide an icon, but then see it again the next time that you log on to Windows, you may need to uninstall the program to permanently remove the icon. Uninstall the program permanently removes the program from your computer. For more information, see Uninstall or change a program.

    Hello


    Step 1:

    I suggest you start in safe mode, and then you would be able to choose which version of Windows that you want to start in. See below section to start in safe mode-
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    Step 2:
    After entering in safe mode, you can try to use system restore to return to a previous point, until the software has been installed.

    Note: When you use System restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

    To do this, there must be a restore point from the system in which the connection was successful.

    Refer to the following help link on performing a system restore.

    I hope this helps.

    Are you talking about overclocking the processor? You can do this in some
    systems and not in others, and if you can, how to do it depends on
    What hardware you have. But in my opinion, it's always a very bad.
    dangerous thing to do.

  • How can I move my operating system to a new hard drive or other solutions, must be the Media Center

    My computer a gateway 815GM Media center PC has become black and start with some gray characters and words back up your data and replace the hard drive is bad. (or similar) My question is how can I move the operating system Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 to a new hard drive.  Since the problem is the hard drive and all the computer a new operating system should not be purchased.  If there is no way to move it is it possible Microsoft send a replacement free of charge, or at least OS with only shipping.  My computer came with it pre-installed, and I have not received the drive with the OS on it.  What can I do?  Thank you for your information.

    When you received your entry door, it came with a CD or operating system recovery disc. If you no longer have that (or has not made a recovery disc set a utility included), contact Gateway to buy a set of recovery disks. It is normally fairly cheap. Then install the new hard drive and booting with the recovery disk to restore your computer to the factory State. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • How to order or download the system recovery software?

    Hello

    Most HP laptops already have called the program "recovery manager" that is built into the laptop. This allows each user recover the laptop whenever they need to.

    Now, there are some situations where you can not use the program from the desktop or even during the boot.

    If this is the case for you, I'll post here how to order or download the system recovery software.

    This video is very useful for users who cannot access the recovery Manger in windows or during boot.

    I suggest, if you are unable to download the recovery image on a USB drive to call HP @8004746836. Order a recovery through HP disk might cost if you are no longer under warranty.

  • How do I take a VISTA system which has a drive with a C and D partition and combne in C only a partition with the storage of which was C and D?

    How do I take a VISTA system which has a drive with a C and D partition and combne in C only a partition with the storage of which was C and D?

    Hello

    Make sure that D: is not the partition recovery including the manufacturer put there to make the recovery disks from and eventually to return your computer to how you bought

    You cannot combine C: and D: and their data using the Vista Disk Manager

    with Vista, you will need to save the data on D: - D: delete - and then extend C: into the now unallocated space where D: was to do a 1 partition 2

  • Latitude E6510 - how I manually access the Dell system recovery partition?

    Latitude E6510 - how I manually access the Dell system recovery partition?

    Hi all

    My Dell Latitude E6510 came with OEM Win 7 Pro x 64 installed. I am trying to perform a restore of the system to the factory setting.

    I tried to access advanced without result Boot Options and pressing F12 during the boot process does not provide me with the option to repair and select the recovery partition, as if it is invisible. If I use the computer management > storage I do not see the hidden partition or if I do Diskpart it is listed.

    How the BIOS or the system recognize it to boot from the recovery partition? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply but it appears not the solution you provided helped and I think you are incorrect since my original screenshot has allowed me to see the hidden partition, but I didn't know how to access it.

    I got access once I used the app "diskpart" with commands like 'list readers', 'list volume' and 'assign volumes"to access the partition of the content.

    Nevertheless, I have found that my recovery media is missing or damaged.

    Hi chris malanda

    You can remove the program from the taskbar and check if that helps. To remove a program pinned to the taskbar, open the jump list for the program, and then click remove this program from the taskbar.
