• Need help with problems after you download Service Pack 2 for Windows XP Home Edition

  I downloaded the havce to uninstall Service Pack 2 only because when I rebooted the computer system has 4-bit color without the possibility to change and everything was HUGE.

  If you get just to install WinXP SP2 for the first time ever, keep reading. If not, tell us why you need to reinstall SP2.

  ==================================

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  HOW to do a clean install of Windows XP: see method 1 and http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html#steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978307

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) otherwise and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

• Addition of Service Pack 3 for Windows XP Home Edition creates the system failure

  We have an older Compaq Presario that came with Windows XP Home Edition. [a Pentium 1 2005]
  I try to install Windows Live Onecare (free Qwest).  When I update our Windows XP Home with Service Pack 3, when I reboot I get a black screen that says that there is an error with a recent change of hardware or drivers. So I boot safe mode.
  There has been no hardware changes.
  I did a destructive restore by using the Compaq recovery disk which is supposed to wipe the drive and reinstall everything.
  I can update Windows XP with service pack 3 and everything works.  When I install Windows Live Onecare, at the next restart I get the same black screen and need to start in safe mode.
  I can do a destructive restore and load Windows Live Onecare and work without any problem as long as I do not install Service Pack 3.
  I tried to make recovery of Windows with the same results.  I can do a restore before any point where I do not have the Windows Live Onecare and the Service Pack 3 and everything works fine.

  So I guess that there is a conflict between Windows XP Service Pack 3 and Windows Live Onecare on this computer.  I have both works well on other computers in our home network, but they are Pentium III or higher.

  Anyone know if there is a difficulty, or just simply never through my XP Home SR3?

  TIA, LR0451

  trying to run autocad release 12, a 16-bit application in Windows XP home edition with service pack 3.   After installing the program... and when you try to start autocad... Get the error message saying "division by zero or overflow error" How can I run the 16-bit program in XP which is 32 bit?  Thank you

  Version 12 is from the days of MS-DOS; We used to get these errors then too, but it is a long time ago and I don't remember what the fix was at the time. However, you can try to install a Virutal Machine DOS or Windows Virtual PC.

• Cannot install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition or anything else on the internet.

  Hello

  I tried to download and install Service Pack 2 using Windows Vista Home Edition, or anything like that on the internet without success. According to me, the key word is internet or a block of Vista from the internet to install anything. Many people here get the same error 80070005 for SP2 as I am, but I think that the problem is with Vista, how the system allows any installs or blocks installed from the internet. I suppose that some are able to go through the download process, but installation is where it does not pass through. There are moments where it seems that the installation of SP2 works, but it will fail eventually. Other times what ever happens to the installation process. The same goes for all other downloads and installs from the internet. I am able to install a program that already exists on the computer, so I know that installs works just not the Internet. Do not send me a link to install because it probably won't last through. I may be able to download but installation will not pass by so that the program will not work. I used the words installation and internet a lot for some reason please take account, when responding.

  Thank you

• Why can't I download service pack 1 for windows xp

  When I try to install service pack 1a for windows xp, I'm meeting the message that I am unable to connect to the server.  Do I have reason to assume that the problem is on your side? Anyway what can I do to fix the problem?  I jumped on it and installed 2 and 03:00 I'm going to have problems because of this?

  SP1a is useless until you install SP2 and SP3. Do not forget to include also updates well-too-100 post SP3 security, too!

• Problem after installing Windows Service Pack 3 on Windows XP Home edition error Media pc: files which are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unknown...

  Original title: problem after installing Windows Service Pack 3 on Windows XP Home Media edition pc

  My pc runs Windows XP Home Media edition.  I installed Windows Service Pack 3 successfully, or so I thought. Whenever I turn on my pc a box opens indicating "files which are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions."  To maintain the stability of the system.  Windows must restore the original versions of these files.  Install your Windows XP Professional CD2.  I don't have any Windows XP Professional CD that I use the Home Media Edition. If I press Cancel repeatedly, the window disappears to return with the same information, but ask me to install Windows XP Professional CD3.  How can I stop this happening?

  Hello

  Step 1: I suggest you perform the SFC scan on the computer and check.

  SFC tool scans system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
  2. right click on cmd in the list programs and then click Run as administrator.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
  3. at the command prompt, type the following line and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  Reference: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/system_file_checker.mspx?mfr=true

  Ted, you post frequently and keep having what seems to be the same problem!
  It is important to use ANOTHER PC to download WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3 - x 86 - ENU.exe on a USB flash drive.
  Also, we don't REALLY know what you were doing. Tell him you 'just reinstalled xp on my computer' told us not many. We do not know whether it was an attempt to a clean install, a repair facility, or a parallel installation or if the attempt was successful.
  If your goal is to perform a clean installation, let us know if we can give you very specific instructions!

• Impossible to download Service Pack 3 for SQL Server 2008 R2

  Try to get the SP3 for SQL Server 2008 R2.   Is the Microsoft downloads page below or...?   I get page not found error.

  Click on the link in this article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2979597 no chance

  I searched the web for SQLServer2008R2SP3-KB2979597 - x 64 - ENU.exe, but found no site I trusted enough to download the file.

  Hello

  There are reports of other users unable download as other SQL Server related downloads such as the Feature Pack for SQL Server 2014 and the download page of the Data Mining add-in for Excel 2013.

  This should be a temporary problem. Try again in a few hours.

  I hope this helps.
