I need to know what service pack I used to have
I have a computer that has used to have windows xp pro. but he told a bunch of virus, and to make a long story short, he now has ubuntu. So I have the product key, but I forgot what service pack there, and I want to use another computer that I need to run windows programs. Is there some way I can find out what service pack is and get a cd for this service pack - no COA - so I can install it on my other computer?
Product key is independent of the service pack.

need to get the Service Pack 2 and 3 for XP home
Recently installed new h-drive. Re-installed XP Home with services Pack 1 a. I need to get the Service Pack 2 and 3, but none of Microsoft download sites will work for me. What should I do to fix this?
You don't need sp2 (which is a chance, l because the sp2 link no longer works).
Download sp 3 here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details-b.aspx?id=24

im sure it is a result of deactivation and activation of services, I was also a lot so just trying to figure out which are useless and I can't run restore system or something like that, I just need help so that I can download an anti virus and updates, so the download controls? What service? This isn't a problem of IE. If anyone has any ideas for me that does not involve downloading something else, or the copying of files from drive of windows or putting forms those are all out of the question.
even when services are basic, only 3 services are enabled, and I can't even access the internet, so I just need to know what essential services are Internet ONLY.
Link to PML is a good thing. But, really, almost any PC is certainly capable of running all services by default with no performance hit.
To repair the damage you have done, run system restore to get the best results.

Cannot open file because Windows needs to know what program created the file
After downloading some files when I try to open the file, I get the message cannot open the file, windows needs to know what program created the file.
Any suggestions?
Perhaps no program has been assigned to this file format and so you cannot open these files.
I put t know which files you downloaded, but you can choose an application installed that can open these files.Right click the file and I have to then choose open with.
Then, you could choose the program you want to use.Best regards

Cannot open files or programs, error: Windows needs to know what program to use.
Original title: I can't open any programs.
Today, I tried to free up space for some games, I tried to download. In the Remove Programs process I must have learned something really important. Now, all of the icons on the desktop are white and I can't open anything. None of the programs, folders, files, photos. The pop up according to open this file, windows needs to know what program to use. It does give me an option to choose a program and I can't open my internet browser unless I have to go through some point average round through my control panel. If there is a way to solve this problem, it would be really useful. I think that the computer uses Windows Xp.Thank you
