• 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!

Please someone can help me I got appriciate it! Thanks in advance! If you have any other questions I can answer.

  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:

  NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free and download/run the appropriate removal tool before installing updates, Service Packs Windows or IE upgrades and before installing your new anti-virus application (which will require WinXP SP3 must be installed).

  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

  Go there directly: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=512818&clcid=0x409 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.

  help plez

  gowtham_hacks,
  You can disable ZoneAlarm, and then try to download SP3.  If that doesn't help, you can either do as suggested TaurArian and order the CD or go somewhere else with a reliable internet connection to another PC and download it to a Flash DRIVE or a CD.

  Hello

  1. have you connected external devices other than the keyboard and mouse?

  2. what security software is installed on your computer?

  I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

  Method 1:

  Disable temporarily the security software and then try to load Service pack 3 and check if the problem persists.

  Follow the steps to temporarily disable the security software:

  a. right click on icon antivirus on the left corner of the taskbar.

  b. click Exit or settings and temporarily disable the security software.

  Warning: If you need to temporarily disable the security software, you should reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 2:

  Put the computer in a clean boot state, and then try to load Service Pack 3 and check if it works.
