• Windows VISTA Premium comes with Windows Defender installed. Mine somehow was deleted and now it won't let me redownload it. Said that I already have.

  When I try to download Windows Defender, I get the following message... You need not install it because Windows Defender is included in Windows VISTA. You can access Windows Defender from the Security section of the Windows Control Panel... From there on, I get the following message...

  I want to REALLY Windows Defender back. How can I do?

  This thread you latch on is almost 2 years.

  Should have started a new one for you.

  To answer your question:

  > Do I need advocate? I use AVG free Edition 2012 and Wise registry cleaner.

  1 AVG is supposed to close Windows Defender. This is because AVG has his own Defender. To have 2 defenders on the same machine will create conflicts.
  Thus, you don't need Windows Defender if you moy.

  2. I HIGHLY recommend that you uninstall the registry cleaner.
  In the hands of the users done computers, registry cleaner could be useful.
  In the hands of novice computer users, it's a time bomb.

• I try to install Service pack 3 on my Windows XP, how do you know if there are other programs running

  I try to install Service pack 3 on my windows XP system when I try to download I have the C:\windows\ssystem32\ntdll.dll message is opened or currently in use by another application you approach other applications & try again, I'm connected only to Microsoft, how know if there are other applications running.

  I hope it's because you just made a new installation of Windows XP?

  Through these two articles:

  • Steps to take before you install Windows XP Service Pack 3
  • Windows XP SP3 - read all the prerequisites for a successful installation

  What I propose is the following...

  1. Go to this web page: How to reset the Windows Update components? and use the FixIt utility in aggressive mode.
  2. Reset.
  3. Download here all the SP3 Setup file: Windows XP Service Pack 3 Package of Network Installation for developers and information technology professionals and save it to the Office of the administrator of the user account on the computer in question.
  4. Reset.
  5. Double-click the installation file downloaded in step 3 and follow the instructions.

• Cannot install Service Pack 1 after 4 years, Windows Vista Factory restore

  I have a Dell XPS ONE and used the option to restore to the factory due to several problems. The system is 4 years old and maintain a 4 year old Windows Vista Home Premium system proved to be too much for me to handle.

  When I try to update Windows, I managed about 60 updates, but then I get to the SP 1. He tells me that it is installed, but then I go to the update again and it tells me that I need SP I... I can go through the same indefinitely, SP 1 installation, but he always tells me that I need to install Service Pack 1 even if it was just installed successfully. Aparently, SP 1 is not installed correctly, but it tells me that it is installed. It is not!

  In the meantime, I can ' t reinstall Norton Internet Security. He tells me that I need SP2 for Vista.

  It is good, that you can not install Norton Product.  Stop trying.  No McAfee either.
   
  Avast, AVG, Avira , or UnThreat are choices fine (free option).
  You could spend ~ 60USD during two years of eSET NOD32 AntiVirus (not more - just product AntiVirus) and which would be more worthwhile.

  Regarding SP1 - do this manually.  Windows Vista Edition _, _ - bit? [Fill in the blanks]

  Download and save the SP1 that is appropriate for your architecture of Vista (32-bit or 64-bit) operating system (on your desktop).  Reboot and logon.  Right click on the saved file and choose Run as administrator.  Follow through until it's done and restart with 5 minutes between each restart twice.

  • Windows Vista 32 - bit SP1
  • Windows Vista 64 - bit SP1

  Download and save the SP2 appropriate for your architecture of Vista (32-bit or 64-bit) operating system (on your desktop).  Reboot and logon.  Right click on the saved file and choose Run as administrator.  Follow through until it's done and restart with 5 minutes between each restart twice.

  • Windows Vista 32-bit SP2
  • Windows Vista 64 - bit SP2

  Then download updates post-SP2 via normal means.

  Hello kamal

  Please don t be crazy about me, but it's the right question for the forum of Microsoft. You didn t write which laptop model you have. Is this laptop plu or perhaps newer?

  Sorry, but without any laptop concrete and description of the problem, you should try the Forum of Microsoft. Maybe the forum users that Microsoft OS will be much better understood your problem.

• XP - cannot install Service Pack 2 and 3 in order to install anti-virus protection.

  I need to install Service Pack 2 and 3, in order to install a virus program.  I currently do not have one, as my Norton Antivirus program should be uninstalled.  I can't get the Windows Update page to download.  Is there another way to get to this download?  I want to get do it as fast as possible, as I am currently without any virus/spyware protection.

  Thank you!!

  If SP2 to SP3, is not installed, you could not possibly have a functional application of the antivirus installed and missing a value of more than four years of critical security updates! It is not a chance in h * that SP2 & SP3 will install with your computer in its current state, Erica.

• 64-bit Vista will not install service pack 2

  I'm running the 64 bit version of vista buisness. I tried to install service pack 2 using the automatic update, but it has not installed. I also tried the manual download. He gets to halfway done installing, then gives me an error 0x800f081f code. He told me to install the system update readiness tool. I tried to install it, but that no longer works. Not even done a selective sartup with everything disabled except for windows services works.

  Hi relik_66,

  I suggest that you check your system for corrupted files.  You use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to check and repair corrupt system files.  To do this, follow these steps:

  1. open an elevated command prompt. To do this, clickStart, click principally made programs, accessories, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

  2. type the following command and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.
