Hypothesis: Try to recover from a failed installation of XP Service Pack 3? - and - install correctly the e-mail client!

Windows XP Home - I dropped a SP3 installation failure - and continued to my business.  Started to get the error message with IE features failed: "mail client is not properly installed.»  Advice seemed simple - "set access and default program ' but I couldn't find the options described by 'start' or 'control panel' research brought me to information which"set the default settings of the program"was a feature in SP1.
So, here I am making assumptions.  1. How can I "correctly install customer e-mail (I use aol).»  2. I NEED TO revisit the attempt to install SP3?  Did the failure of the installation of the SP3 clear features in SP1?  Start a new installation of SP3?  Thanks for all the advice (but please enter slowly to more old-but-eager man who yet does not speak "geek" very well).  Thanks in advance. -Bill

Is IE7 or IE8 installed?

Which application should be the default email Client?

To reaffirm the default value: start | Settings | Control Panel | Add/Remove programs. Set Program Access and Defaults. Click on the arrows pointing towards the bottom right of the configuration that is already checked. E-mail: Select Client Mail appropriate here (not "use my current... »).

  • Which Service Packs I have install during the installation of operating system?

    I intend to do a clean install of Windows XP Edition family on a replacement hard drive.  At this hour I'll also install updates recommended.  Should what Service Packs I install?

    Microsoft sites are ambiguous or incomplete information.  From my reading, it seems that I need to install the Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2 to install Service Pack 3.  And yet the Service Packs are supposed to be cumulative updates, containing all updates released before the release of the latest Service Pack.  Have to install only the Service Pack 3 would be my preference, which would do the trick.

    What installation plan would give me the desired result (a nice, clean, full of XP and all installation updates recommended) more effective in terms of installation time and using the hard drive?

    After installation, remove the files?  It seems to me (and perhaps I got wrong this impression) that the Service Pack and the individual updates of XP I have installed in the past have left a huge amount of files on my hard drive, the files after successful installation, I might be able to remove without adverse consequences.  My feeling is that Microsoft (and many other reputable software providers) are happy to add you to their software, but they clean up after themselves.

    If you hired a Carpenter to build new cabinets in kitchen at home, he would not let the old cabinets, scrap lumber, loose nails and screws and tools scattered in your kitchen.  It would be to clean up all this in the context of completing the work.  I don't want to be unfair to Microsoft (in case I'm wrong about what they leave on my machine), but if they leave their installation files or obsolete older files (from earlier and now supplanted the Service Packs) on my machine, they are not complete the project.

    Your advice on what to install and how to clean up after installation will be appreciated.  Thank you.

  • Error when you try to install Windows XP Service Pack 3: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.

    Windows XP SP3 problem

    Recently, I met a problem with my PC and was forced to use the system recovery. Now I'm back to factory settings and try to install Windows XP Service Pack 3 on my computer. Windows Update won't work for me, that whenever I try to update I get [error number: 0x8024400A]. I think it's because I use Service Pack 2, or that's what I concluded after researching the problem, anyway.

    This is not my real concern, however. Because I could not get the update automatically, I tried to download and install the "Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT professionals and developers" myself. The first time I did it, I restarted the PC after the installation and was met with "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. "  I went into safe mode and went to a just system restore point before SP3 was installed, but now I don't know how to install it correctly without encountering this problem after reboot. I'm hardly the easy just stick with SP2 when there are potentially important available updates. How can I get Windows Service Pack 3 is installed on my PC?

    It's certainly interesting!

    If the cause of your problem is to have a HP PC with an AMD processor and an original image on your hard drive (and of course it sounds like this is the case), the solution should be to rename the file intelppm.sys and launch the sp37394.exe patch. Once done, the SP3 file that you downloaded from here:
    SHOULD work!
    I'm puzzled why there is no intelppm.sys file in your directory C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers.
    Since you recently returned to square one with your PC ("return to factory settings"), then you may as well run the patch from this page:
    and try the SP3 Setup file again.
    But, first, let's be absolutely sure that we are both using the same terminology. Please answer the following questions:
    1. have you safely backed up ALL your data?
    2. what method did you use to ride "back to factory settings? I think that your choices have been a destructive restore (full) and a (partial) non-destructive recovery. The first erases the disk and leave you with a pristine image and NOTHING ELSE (which means that all of your programs and data get deleted). The other (which does not always correctly) is supposed to leave programs and data intact.
  • Windows Sidebar problems since the installation of Vista Service Pack 2

    I installed Vista Service Pack 2 today. After the installation of the windows sidebar has stopped working. For example the actions of Gadget, Gadget of the currency, in fact all of the gadgets that require a live stream display the message "Service unavailable". Some gadgets loading is no longer at the side bar, double click on, for example Weatherbug & multimeter (D).  I tried a system restore, but the problem remains, so I did an extra restore to indeed to reinstall Vista Service Pack. I also reset the router and Modem

    I tried to remove the gadgets from the sidebar and load it again but the problem still remains.  So I decided to download gadgets again on the Microsoft site but when I click on the link in the window "Get more Gadgets online" link does not work. This problem is only since installing Vista Service Pack 2 any what help you can give me to eliminate these problems would be most appreciated

    Tony

    Tony,
    Have you checked your firewall to see if the file sidebar.exe is allowed?  When you have downloaded the update it probably resets the security settings for this program if your firewall blocks most likely it.  First try.

    Have you double checked the control panel for the side bar to ensure that it was activated?  Again, the setting could have been modified by the service pack.
    Try this, it includes a section "fix it for me":

    After properly installing Service Pack 3 and restarted my computer, ALL I get on my screen is my beautiful background of hills and blue sky.  NOTHING else.  The only way I could get my messages (and get on this site) was to make Ctrl-Alt-Delete and then make a few clicks and as if by magic, I'm here.  I don't have no tray - clock, no quick launch item, no START.  No icons at all.  That's happened?
