You must be at Service Pack 3 level before you can use Windows updates.

I just had to reinstall Windows XP Home Edition on my old Dell which service pack do I need?
So I think that the original XP windows 5.1 so that needs to be updated as well as service packs. I have to install pack SV 1, 2 and 3? I don't think you can even get more 1 or 2. SV 3 Pack will take place from the other two?
You will need to install SP1a or SP2 first and then install SP3; Windows XP without SP3 is not officially supported (support for Windows XP SP2 ended July 13, 2010).
To install SP3, you must first have Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1a) or Service Pack 2 (SP2) is installed, see the page linked below for more details:

I just reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition and after put into Avast detected a VIRUS.
I have a purchased retail Microsoft Windows XP Home SP2 (version 2002) installation C.D. recently, I wiped my hard drive with a disc of scrub and re-installed Windows with this C.D. After all Microsoft security updates, I downloaded Avast Internet Security 7 (trial version). At one point, I did a virus scan and it detected a virus Trojan I think maybe a keylogger. Avast detected it: 'Win32:Crypt-[Tr] LUQ' at the following location: "C:\System Volume Information\catalog.wci\00000002.ps2. COULD THIS BE THIS VIRUS IS ON THE C.D. MICROSOFT?

During the installation you have selected the option "format"?
No virus is not on the Microsoft Disc.
I suggest that you download and run a full scan of the system to the Microsoft Safety scanner help.

Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

Also, it does not display the internet tv options. He displayed a week before I did reinstall it, so why not now? When I go the the media center Web site and try opening netflix from there he tells me to upgrade to Windows 7. The upgrade is not an acceptable answer, because this isn't a free solution to a problem that did not exist last week. I turned on automatic downloads, I clicked the download now, so everything should be updated. How can I get the dos applications?
Hi baconlord,
You can read the following article and check if it helps to solve the problem.

I upgraded my card mother cpu ram and hard drive. I reinstalled windows xp home edition has got all of the updates. After 9 latest updates download and installtion was going well until I rebooted the computer and go to page window showing all the icons that I get a blue screen and the computer restarts its self and does not stop. How can this be corrected?
Hi KevinRy,
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!
Unplug all external devices.
Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.
Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:
1.
Right-click my computerand then click Properties.
2.
Click the Advanced tab.
3.
Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.
4.
Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.
5.
Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.
Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.
Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.
Kind regards
Amal-Microsoft Support.

For photos, just right-click on the folder and drag it to the USB and copy here.
