Thank you VERY MUCH in advance for any help given11 Karen x

  Nanna leighlas,
  Please post with the information requested here: what to post in the Windows Update forum

  I would say you can try a different virus scanner (such as a scanner online) just to check that you don't have a problem with virus\malware.  Here are some links that can help with this:
  Get rid of malware 
  Can I clean an already infected computer?    
  Windows Live OneCare Safety Scanner Windows XP

  Then, you must perform a clean boot on your system and then try to install SP3.

• Cannot install SP3 as it crashes even after recovering the computer by using a recovery disk

  I recently had an accident requiring that I reboot using my restore disk that were made when I first came to this computer. Since the restart, I can't access the updates from Microsoft Updates program. No error message, tells me that I can not connect. After several attempts, I think that the problem lies in the validation of the Windows program I use. I tried manually to run the validation program and to download security patches I've saved previous accidents. I show that SP2 is underway. I have a standalone download SP3, that when I upload in the system, crashes and burns. Back to the same thing, restart using the recovery disk. I realize for XP ends next month and its time to upgrade. But I would like to have this machine in working condition to use for other tasks.

• PC running very slow XP after installing SP3, can I reinstall?

  My PC is turned sssslloooowwwwwlllyyy both since the installation of SP3.  I do not want to troubleshoot SP3 for now, so can I remove and reinstall?  My PC is quite old in years of PC, but performance has been acceptable for me up until SP3 came.

  Thank you

  Bidwin

  It is important to disable programs such as Webroot before installing SP3. Personally, I prefer to install the stand-alone version of SP3 while I'm offline and after setting up a clean boot:

  Also, have a look here:

  If you want to solve your problem of performance, set up a CleanBoot and systematically add back programs/process until you figure out the problem:

• Renstalled Windows XP and installed SP3 now I have no sound I hear static in the speakers but no sound.

  REFERENCE DELL GX60 SFF
  OK hear goes: Windows Xp Home edition, ver.2002 was SP2. Celeron (R) CPU 2.4 GHz intel 2.39 GHz 512 MB RAM
  OK you can stop laughing now. I know its out of date and I know that I will eventually improve windows (getting another computer at the moment), is
  not an option. Now, my relic worked fine good healthy and not too fast, but it got me where I should go. Mainly to pay my bills, print them
  play games, etc.; you get the idea. somehow, well I ended up losing several programs and not knowing what I was done, I decided to reinstall
  Windows XP and also to install SP3 (bad decision!). I didn't know that my copy of resettlement was not installing many drivers, you had to put them
  yourself! Needless to say, I fumbled my way through, but I can not all sounds, oh I get this 'static' loud and clear when I turn the speakers off voltage
  but that's all. I've tried everything. Also, when I go into Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers, it shows
  Audio codecs, Legacy Audio Drivers, Legacy devices of video Capture, media control and Codecs video (whatever that means).
  And when I opened the system devices, there is a yellow exclamation point in front: Intel (R) E75/25/E7520 DMA controller - 3594. (phew!).
  Well, I hope I gave you enough info.cause, I'm not that knowledgeable about computer technology. (I'm sure it's obvious LOL)  In any case
  Sir/Maam are unwilling to detach "sexist". I'll let you go, hope you can give me help on this issue, if I could I would just get a new one
  but I am living young 71 on S.S. Disibility and simply ends.  Not complaining do not. I am blessed. You have a wonderful and blessed
  day.

  Go to your computer manufacturer's support web site and search for drivers of devices in Windows XP for your specific model number.

  If there are Windows XP drivers, then download to a folder on your hard drive and install all, beginning with the card mother/chipset drivers, SATA, LAN, Audio, USB, graphics, Webcam, Etc., and so on.

• I have windows XP SP2 and when I try to install SP3, the current installation stops the computer stops.

  I was recently given an older laptop. I have windows XP Home Edition SP2. When I try to update windows, update web site scans my pc and says I need to install SP3 to update other windows. It downloads, but it starts to install, at Midway, the PC shuts down. When I power backup, windows starts to load, but discounts can go back every time. Only way I can get windows to work again is to join the conservation program and windows restore to before sp3 install atemp. I discovered that I need to install microsoft .net framework 2.0 SP2, but as it tries to install it, it stops and gives me an error code 1601. What is the problem and what can do to reslove? I don't know any history of what has been done until I got it. I know it works, but without SP3 and needs updated to work correctly. What can I do?
