I need Service Pack 3 for XP64 upgrade to Windows 8, but it is not available when I try Windows Update.

My OS is XP64 SP2. I tried to update several times without success. I also downloaded the Service Pack 3 (KB936929) Documents and Windows but could not install. I'm normally more patient in waiting for Service Packs to appear as updates, but I want to move to the installation of 64-bit Windows 8.

You also cannot upgrade Xp to Windows 8. You must perform a clean installation. See the upgrade of Windows 8 paths.

  • After installation of Service Pack 1 for Vista 64 bits, Windows Security says Malware and firewalls are off.

    I recently reinstalled my copy of Vista 64 bit I hope to solve this problem that has been with me for a while.  Before I wiped and reloaded, Security Center Windows would alert me every day that my firewall protection and malware have been disabled.

    I use Kaspersky Internet Security, which is fully updated and works as it should.  I am able to activate Windows Firewall and bypass the firewall Kaspersky and that error to go away, however, I can't remove the error of malicious software.  I got all these errors directly after a restart after the installation of service pack 1.

    Under Windows Security Center it says, "Kaspersky Internet Security reports that it is turned off," under the heading for malware protection.  When I click on the button to activate under Windows Security, it goes through the steps who say do you trust this program, Yes, Yes, ok.  After choosing all the options of trust Kaspersky and activate this protection, he thinks about it a little, but always returned and said it's off.  It also has a green light saying that Windows Defender is actively protecting your computer.

    I think that my Internet Security Suite is successfully active in these areas and work I checked the menu, check that they work.  In my opinion, after installation of service pack 1 that something I have messed up in the statement that those programs are active or really uninstalled them.

    Even if I can get the only message that the Kaspersky firewall is disabled to disappear by enabling the Windows Firewall, which is not yet as I want.  I want the suite of internet security that I paid to be active and functional on the side of the Windows security features.

    I would appreciate any help with this problem by addressing why he continues to warn me that my protection malware and firewalls are disabled.  Thank you.

    Also install Windows Vista SP2 this problem could be solved, otherwise try to uninstall and reinstall Kaspersky and also, try to get the latest version of Kaspersky.

    If still the same issue please contact Kaspersky support.

  • I get an error, "Microsoft Hosted network is not available" when I try to connect wifi for my HTC desire V through the laptop.

    I use dell xps 15 laptop in which I use Wired internet.
    I want to use my computer laptop wi - fi as a hotspot to use internet on my HTC Desire V for this I'm using connectify software but when I start HotSpot Wi - FI Access Point Encrypted (WPA2) method of sharing is for me the hosted Microsoft network is not available.

    Original title: Microsoft Hosted network is not available

    I had the same problem and that's what I did on my PC Win7:

    (Forgive me if my English is not good)

    1. verification of my network hosted in my driver. I have run the administrator command prompt and type netsh wlan start hostednetwork
    If you get this message:
    The hosted network could not be started. The group or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation.

    Then you have the same problem with me. It is the next step.
    2. check my driver. Type of command line: netsh wlan show pilot
    Then I saw that my support pilot hosted network. If your driver does not support hosted network, I suggest update you your driver or reinstall it.
    How FND out your driver and update: Start - Control Panel - system and safety - device (under System) Manager - ECS

    3. If your drivers support hosted network but still will not start, then the problem could be that you do not have Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter (the same problem happened to me). You can search and download. I tried and installed the new card.
    Now I have Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter under network cards, in Device Manager.
    4. I tried step 1 and it worked! So I can run my Connectify and this error message never showed even once.
    I hope this works for you also.
    Good luck

  • What are Service Packs? Can I upgrade to Service Pack 2 for free? If yes how? If I update it will help or hinder my system? Any pack is better than another?

    Windows Vista Service Pack (basic information)

    Hello

    I know this may seem a simple/stupid question, but I do not understand what are "Service Packs".  I don't know much about computers.

    I have restored my laptop to the factory setting today and I reinstall my programs again.  I am trying to install a new program as well (Autodesk Inventor 2012).  The installation says I can't because I need Service Pack 2 and I only have Microsoft Vista Home Premium (Version: 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001).

    What are Service Packs?  Can I upgrade to Service Pack 2 for free?  If yes how?  If I update it will help or hinder my system?  Any pack is better than another?

    Thanks for the information and assistance that you can give.

    AstoriaBoro

    You can install Service Pack 2 very simply - go to Windows Update and check for new updates - then install all available updates.

    Once they are complete, return again (after a reboot) and do the same thing - repeat until there are no left.

    Along the way you will be installed Service pack 2 :)

Should I download the version + 400 MB of site or there at - it another way to download smaller files for my PC only? Any help appreciated. Thank you!

    How will I know if my system type is 32-bit or 64-bit?

    Regarding mass storage disks that appear, you have housing of memory card reader on your PC?  Usually they will appear like this.  I have a HP at home that has a Bay of 5 card reader to the front and I see the same type of items that you see. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • Windows Vista Service Pack 2 for update (KB948465) systems focus on x 64

    Hi all:

    For several weeks, I get a daily reminder to install the update "Windows Vista Service Pack 2 for x 64-based systems (KB948465)", but whenever I try to install it, it ends up by default, which gives 80246007 error code. What happened probably 30 times. It's driving me crazy, and at this point, I would like to know if it is still necessary to have. If this is the case, how can I get to install correctly? If this isn't the case, I can't the notification go away?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    You do not start with a service pack earlier and go to the top. You only download the latest service pack. The latest service pack for Windows XP Home Edition is Service Pack 3.

    Go to Windows Update and see if you can find it there.

    If this isn't the case, then you can manually download it here:

    It is a CD image file that requires you to burn to a CD or use a virtual CD/DVD software like Virtual CloneDrive. This allows you to open the ISO file as if it was a real CD inserted into your DVD drive. All you have to do is double-click the ISO file, once you have installed this program.

  • Why is Microsoft so lazy? No Service Pack 3 for Vista. No Service Pack 2 for Windows 7, but now don't want to buy Windows 8? No thanks.

    I had to reinstall Vista last night after my computer started to report that there is no bootable devices found. It took most of the day to complete the fresh install. I had to download and install the Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2, which took about an hour each. And then finally, Windows update started downloading another 115 separate updates. Who has 'more' of time to install.

    Why Microsoft does not release a Service Pack 3 for Vista? Or better yet, why do they not release something like "Windows Vista: Final Edition" that you can buy and it just install and done with it.
    Why a company that rakes in billions of dollars in software sales annually manage their software products at the end of life so sloppily?
    Windows 8 is already gone gold and I have heard nothing about when will be released Windows 7 Service Pack 2. It seems that Microsoft always has an eye on the future, but never on the present. Always eager to make new sales but never the support of existing products.
    When a product reaches a number of updates, a Service Pack must certainly be considered. And a final edition that integrates all product Service Packs must be taken into account. It would make life so much easier.
