  • Cannot perform the upgrade on the spot. Needs winxpCD with SP3 slipstreamed.

    Original title: REINSTALL required W - XP, Original CD SP1, SP3

    I am trying to reinstall my windows xp operating system to repair errors with my laptop, I bought in 2004 and when I insert the disc indicates that the disk of Windows XP is SP1 and I need the Windows XP SP3.  How can I install SP3 while my original CD's with SP3..? Can I install SP1 and then to download SP3, now that my system is installed with SP3 to date. OR can I do a CD of SP3, which is already in my system, if so where can I find the SP3 files.  My system freezes too and sleeves to the top; I have not k now what to do. It is Compaq Presario R3000 Intel P4 3.0 Ghz, 80 GB HDD with ATI graphics card,

    512,00 MB of memory.

    Please help. Cordially. MEERA

    You can just go place of origin of the manufacturer of the computer.

    given that it is hp, then go to hp.com and look for your computer model number.   HP will then give you a number of Web pages on your computer, including free patches, patches, downloads, software and fyi.

    in any case, if you format the hard drive and reinstall xp sp1, then you should immediately go to hp and install new updates for your computer.

    However, my suggestion at the moment is to reinstall sp1 at this time.

    Although I don't know all the details on the problems you encounter, there are some steps to take to make sure if the reinstallation of the OS, in fact the problem will be solved.

    for example, if you hardware is defective, reinstall it the OS will not overcome this type of problem.

    so my first suggestion and the method is to start in safe mode and see if windows works well or not in this mode.

    Here are the instructions:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true

    If windows safe mode works ok, then you're in luck because this means that the core system files are ok.      Therefore, we can launch a clean boot operation to help windows in normal mode to stabilize.

    Here are the instructions:

    http://pcsmarties.WordPress.com/CleanBoot/

    Another method, that you can use to work around the reinstallation of the OS is called "repair installation".

    the repair facility will compare the system files on the hard disk for the file system on the xp pro cd.

    and if one of the system files on the hard drive is missing or damaged, they will be replaced by those who are genuine CD.

    you mentioned that you couldn't do an inplace installation, i.e. repair installation.   then we should take a peek on what could be the problem, especially if you have entered the product key for xp pro when that leveling and xp pro is officially activated and authorized by microsoft.com

    Another method would be to add the RAM in the system, since 512 is minimal.   my suggestion would be to increase my other 512 megs.    with low memory can be problematic as well.

  • A product that needs Windows XP SP3 + will be compatible with Windows 7 Home Premium

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium and I want to buy a product of heart Math that says Windows XP XP3 +.
    What I need to be upgraded or it would be compatible?

    Windows 7 has a feature of executing programs that are compatible with a previous version of Windows. If you have Windows 7, then you can run programs that are compatible with the following versions of Windows: -.

    1. Windows 95
    2. Windows 98/Windows Me
    3. Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 5)
    4. Windows 2000
    5. Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
    6. Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
    7. Windows Server 2003 (Service Pack 1)
    8. Windows Server 2008 (Service Pack 1)
    9. Windows Vista
    10. Windows Vista (Service Pack 1)
    11. Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)
    12. Windows 7 (obviously)
    In your case, you want to run a program that is compatible with Windows XP (Service Pack 3) , then I don't think there should be a problem to do so. Is there a programs on Windows 7 Compatibility Wizard, which helps you run programs that are compatible with a previous version of Windows. You can follow the following steps to run the program compatibility Wizard.
    1. Open the program compatibility Wizard by clicking the start , clicking Control Panel, clicking programs and then click on use an older program with this version of Windows.

    2. Follow the instructions in the wizard.

    If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation for the program and, using the wizard disk, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. The wizard is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

    To change compatibility settings manually for a program, right-click the program icon, click Properties, and then click the Compatibility tab.

  • the need for victory. XP pro. service pack 3 to service pack 2

    Hello
    I use desktop PC Pentium 4 (32-bit), my OS is windows XP Professional with service pack 2 is already installed.

    Automatic update windows has already downloaded service pack 3 on my computer and installation pending.

    I don't know if I need this service pack 3 when I already have service pack 2, installed in my system.

    Then what should I do? If I install SP3 then what happens to the already installed SP2.

    Is it posible to delete the downloaded SP3 which has not yet been installed.

    I don't know what to do, can anyone advice me whether to install SP3 or remove it?

    Yes, you need to install SP3. Computers running under that WinXP SP2 will NOT be offered additional updates of security reviews, automatic updates will stop working, and the Windows Update Web site will not be available after April 12, 2010, until that SP3 is installed.

    SP3 will replace SP2 and SP3 can be uninstalled, if necessary.

    http://msmvps.com/blogs/harrywaldron/archive/2008/05/08/Windows-XP-SP3-read-all-prerequisites-for-a-successful-installation.aspx


    Temporarily disable all real-time protections offered by your antivirus application, all anti-spyware applications and third-party firewall before installing SP3.  If you disable a third party firewall, make sure that you then enable the Windows Firewall: the machine must not be connected to the internet without a firewall active.

    NB ZA free users: Uninstall via Add/Remove Programs free ZA and enable Windows Firewall before you install SP3.

    After installed SP3 and rebooted twice, check that your coverage in real time has been re-enabled; If you have disabled a third party firewall, remember to re - enable and disable the Windows Firewall.

    Free installation and unlimited compatibility support for WinXP SP3 is available since April 14, 2008 to May 2009.  This support will cost you 59 US$ per incident now.

  • After a recovery, I can not download the SP3 for XP Home Edition and automatic updates do not work without it.

    After making a recovery, my Automatic Updates download updates and SP3 will not download. The error message says that I need to download SP3 and tried about 20 times without success. I have Windows XP Home Edition. The SP3 update was on the computer as it came out and was still on the computer at the time that I made the recovery. I have Webroot and Windows anti-virus.

    I did not stand alone Setup because it indicated that it was for computer scientists and and download on several computers.

    This warning from Microsoft can be ignored. If this also fails, try please report and the stand-alone Installer. I suggest saving the Setup program and then run it from the save location once the download is finished, this will avoid having to download it again. The SP3 installation may take some time according to the PC on which it is installed. 30 minutes is longer than some I've done but less than others.

    To determine if SP3 is still doing, looking at the disk activity light and listen to the disk activity. If the light blinks and you can hear sounds from the disk drive, it is likely that SP3 is still what he needs. You can also start the Task Manager before starting installation (via ctrl-alt-del) and monitor the process of CPU consumption on the process tab to see if things are still active.

    "When I try to manually install SP3, I get two windows.

    My assumption is that you're trying through Windows updates, if this is not the case please can you explain exactly what you do?
