I am trying to update my windows xp and I can access updates or down; MS ADO
I had to reinstall my OS and now I need to update to windows xp. I can't access updating the automatic updates and I get a server error when you try to install service packs. I can't do any technical medium of MS and I keep going in circles trying to find answers on the community page. Help!
It's no wonder that my employer has chosen to do away with windows computers and goes with Mac. I use only basic windows desktop until I got back my MAC since its update of migration.
Hi MiguelinaKrier,
· What is the full error message?
· The issue is limited to a particular update?
· Updates (KB numbers) you are trying to install?
Follow these methods.
Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.
Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot State to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the section How to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state of the link to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.
After the clean boot used to resolve the problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.
(a) click Start, run.
(b) type msconfigand click OK.
(c) the System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.
(d) click the general tab, click Normal startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
(e) when you are prompted, click restart to restart the computer.
Method 3: You can also manually install updates (KB number) by downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.

I had to update my windows computer and you can no longer open Photoshop cs2. trying to find help with this new system is not easy to use to put it kindly. I downloaded the program and don't have the available key. I tried to sign in but where.
For Photoshop CS2 activation has been reprocessed, so your original drive and the serial number does not work.
As an owner of CS2, Adobe has a copy without activation and serial number, to which you are entitled.
The serial number is to the right of the download link for Windows. You'll need this one, not your old number.

Could you be more specific as to what you were doing.

Hi Alain,
You have an installed third-party antivirus program? If so, does include any firewall integrated with it?
If you have changed some Windows Firewall settings and you want to cancel your changes, you can restore the firewall settings to the original (default) settings.
You can restore the default settings of the firewall and will remove all the rules, if you have defined.
