Repeat the installation process, but this time choose not to activate. See if you can get to the desktop and connect to internet with IE6.

    Thank you.

    Hi Rkroberts,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

    The answer to your question is no.

    You can choose to have windows stop offering you this update. Here's how:

    1.

    Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button, all programsand then click Windows Update.

    2.

    In the left pane, click check for updates , and then, when Windows finds updates for your computer, click view available updates.

    3.

    Do right click the update you want to install, and then click hide update. The next time you check the updates, the update will not be automatically selected or installed.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  • Error message "the website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page" when you try to install Windows XP SP3 update

    Original title: cannot use Windows Update to install Windows XP SP3

    I have done a complete reinstallation of Windows XP Pro from the original disc and managed to update to SP2.  However, when I tried to upgrade to SP3, I got an error that "the site has encountered a problem and cannot display the page.  I tried all the suggested fixes that I can find.

    During the last attempt, I discovered that several dll is missing.  Here's the msxml6.dll, wups2.dll, c:\windows\system32\wucltux.dll and c:\windows\system32\wuwebv.dll.  If they are critical, where can I find them, and how do I get support.

    In addition, mshtml.dll is available, but the DllRegisterServer could not find an entry point.  Is this critical?

    In any case, I still can I install Microsoft Update or download/install SP3.

    The computer is an IBM R50e laptop.

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Try to run this tool to windows update. This will help to re-register the dll

    After its done. try again and do the update

    hope this helps

    6. If you are prompted to do so, enter your administrator password. If you don't have one, leave the field blank and press to enter.
    7. from the command prompt, type: chkdsk/r (note the space between chkdsk and / r)
    Allow it to complete undisturbed.

  • Try to install Windows Media Center on my laptop but I don't know where to buy it.

    original title: Hi Please help

    I am trying to install windows media Center on my laptop but carnt find any where to go. all I want to do is use with my xbox any help guys, thanks

    Hi, Matt.
    You can't 'install' Media Center - either you have it, or you don't have.
    Media Center is included in all versions of Windows 7 Home Premium on-site (except for certain markets (Europe and the Korea come to mind), where it is not included by default (but there is a pack for this.))
    If you have the Starter or Home Basic, you must make an Express upgrade to Home Premium (or higher).

    Hey BH32009

    Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send vista recovery discs

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    Save all data, because it will be lost, do the above

    Hello John

    It is not easy to understand the whole situation, especially the part with the virus.
    In my opinion, Windows XP Home edition installation should not be problematic.

    What you need is Windows XP Home SP2 or SP3 and driver SATA edition disc. Without SATA driver disk HARD will be not visible to Windows XP Home edition.

  • How to install Windows XP Home SP2 to a Dell 755 Tower comes with Vista Business installed?

    OK guys,

    I aquried a used Dell 755 minitower that had wiped HARD drive, but originally shipped with Vista Business installed o/s. This computer still had the sticker code product key for Vista Business on the computer.

    I have a Windows XP Home SP2 OEM disc with a product code and tried to install it on this computer, but I get an protection windows with a blue screen error whenever I tried.

    I have a Vista Home OEM disk basic with its own key code product. The computer has allowed me to install this operating system, but not would allow me to use its product key code, but would allow me to use the old Vista Business key product code that was on the computer and complete the installation. Everything was fine, but I just don't like Vista o/s and I would like to install my OEM Windows XP Home SP2 to this computer and high grade it to SP3.

    In dealing with this computer, I discovered it would allow me to load Windows XP Pro just find, but I was using a copy borrowed this o/s and had to uninstall if I could return it to its owner. I also borrowed a copy of Windows 7 OEM I installed in this machine and it works just fine, but I had to uninstall it to return to its owner.

    I still want to know why I can't install Windows XP Home Edition for this machine.  Does anyone have information about this situation or a way to solve it?

    Btk (billy the kid)

    Looks like the drive you borrowed your friend had a SATA driver integrated into it.  What you can do, is go into the BIOS and change the AHCI to IDE mode.  This should allow you to install XP.  Or you could use a floppy disk and install the driver by pressing f6 during installation.

    Don't forget: OEM keys are related to the original motherboard enabled on.
