I can't install service pack 3 for Win XP because my computer says that I am not allowed - see my administrator.

I'm starting to load sp 3 and she's going through the installation but, by the end, a box appears that says that I'm not allowed and see my administrator.  It is a single computer; I sign as administrator (I even tried signature the administrator mode without failure).  SP 2 has been installed without any problems.   How can I solve this problem to install SP 3?

I read somewhere that if this computer was used as a test for SP3 Beta site, it could be causes of the problem.  Does anyone know if this is true, and if so, how can I know if my computer has been used for the test.  I have no notes, but there is something in the back of my mind that says that several years ago, I sign up as a beta Test site.

    My computer is running on battery power, even if it is plugged.  My battery is not, but it's OK since I use as a desktop replacement system, and it works fine.  Unfortunately, the update of Windows Vista Service Pack 2 will not install.  How to ignore the condition to be plugged, or tell my stupid computer it is plugged and won't run out of juice during installation?

  • After you install service pack 2 for windows vista

    After installing service pack 2 for windows vista on my HP laptop, I started having a few problems. First off the computer would not go beyond the Welcome screen because he showed that an update was the installation (step 1 of 3:0 % etc.) and the computer reboots before finish. It kept the case whenever I started upward, even on safe mode. I tried to restore, but it would never be completed and nothing else would work. Now I can't go beyond the microsoft loading screen because it shows a black flat screen with no cursor. I can't enter safe mode. Help, please. Safe mode only shows the start screen but won't start so I can't access the control panel and tried to boot to the last known successful startup but it failed.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
