• 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:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=24
  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:
  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&LC=en&DLC=en&softwareitem=PV-60484-2
  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.

• What happens exactly when I install Windows XP Service Pack 3? If I don't create backups for all the stuff I have on my computer, that all get deleted or something?

  The thing about automatic updates told me that I should install Windows XP SP3, because the one I have is no longer supported? I went to see what I have to do before installing it, and it says that I need to create backups... and I kinda don't know even what exactly is the SP 3 and what happens when I install it? Same thing with Windows Media Format 11 SDK. The explanation I got from Microsoft Support were a little confusing for me, if someone could please give me simple explanations? Thank you!

  Hello, I have recently reinstalled my Windows Vista Home Premium.  Now I am trying to re - install Windows Vista Service Pack 1.

  I had to download it because I couldn't get by a Windows Update.  When I tried to install the Service Pack, I received the following error message: Error Code: 0x8000FFFF.

  I want to upgrade to Windows 7, and then to 10 Windows but I don't think I'll be able to update without Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and 2.

  They include two tools running of Microsoft and then by installing SP1 downloaded in a boot environment.

This is my 4th new installation disc from Dell, that started because of this same update to Windows Update Agent. I'm about to give up.

  Hello

  Are you sure this is the error Code?

  And not this one?

  It is the opinion of Microsoft about the error code 80070490.

  'You receive a "0 x 80070490" error code when you use Microsoft Update or Windows Update Web sites to install updates'

  Method 1: run (Checksur.exe) system update readiness tool

  1. Download and run the system update readiness tool. This tool runs an ad hoc analysis of inconsistencies that might prevent future maintenance operations.

  2. Try to install updates again.

  Method 2: perform a Windows repair installation

  If method 1 does not resolve this problem, you can perform a repair installation of Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. Run a repair installation will restore the current installation of Windows to the version of the installation DVD. It also requires the installation of all the updates that are not included on the installation DVD.

  If you do not have a DVD of Microsoft Vista, you will need to borrow a DVD of Vista Microsoft from a friend or work acquantance to do a repair upgrade Installation.

• Cannot install Windows Vista Service Pack 2. The following error message appears: 0X800707d1

  Hello

  Three years ago, I bought a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. Never met a problem until I tried to install Windows Vista Service Pack 2. I already followed each step instructions Support of Microsoft issues Service Pack for any result or solution. In these cases, I have downloaded the pack update directly from the wepage of Windows Vista, installed Windows Update Readiness Tool, disabled my antivirus (McAfee) and came up with nothing. I even tried to install this update in Mode safe but also failed to install Service Pack 2.

  What is happening all the time, is that I double click on archive downloaded in order to install (having already started my computer in Mode safe mode with networking reportoire and disabled the antivirus as well as its firewall). The Service Pack window opens and I click 'Next' for all the necessary instructions, including 'the computer automatically restarts. When the toolbar installation is completed, the computer automatically goes to restart itself. 3 steps appear as a requirement for the completion of the installation process. All goes well until he reaches "step 3 of 3:100% finished. Do not turn off your computer. After about ten minutes of stall in this step, the following message appears on the screen: "the Service Pack cannot be installed, returning from changes. Do not turn off your computer.

  The computer then rolls back all the changes and initiated in the normal state. After the opening, the first window that appears displays the following message: "the specific driver is not valid. "(Details): error: ERROR_BAD_DRIVER (0x800707d1). I proceeded to check and update alone driver of my computer, then try again to install the Windows Vista SP2 and all the operation has been a failure. I was cracking my head trying to solve this particular problem, and each time the same error pops up. I am seriously considering reformatting Windows Vista from manufacturer CD from my Dell, but I don't know if that would help.

  If someone could help or advise with everything that I would appreciate it a lot.

  Kind regards

  Rodrigo
