• 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 I know its out of date and I know that I will eventually improve windows (getting another computer at the moment), is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.

• I have XP SP2 and am unable to install SP3. Problems with Windows install & download manager.

  I rebuilt a laptop from scratch using XP Home.  Currently, no software beyond basic MS core apps.  Not even MS Office.  I am trying to activate the automatic updates.

  The error messages that I get point to Windows Installer and/or MS Download Manager, but these same problems prevent me from deleting/updating install or Download Manager.

  If I run FixIt to activate the automatic updates to download SP3, the following error message is returned:
  _Windows Installer_
  The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.
  This can occur if Windows Installer is not correctly
  installed.  Contact your support team.

  If I try to manually download the SP3 (WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3 - x 86 - ENU.exe), the following error is returned:
  _Microsoft download Manager_
  There was a problem opennig the Microsoft Download Manager.
  Update your computer with Windows Service Pack 2 or later version to download
  files using the Microsoft Download Manager.

  I think I'll through in circles.   I need SP3 for automatic updates, but impossible to install SP3 since SP3 is not installed.  I must be missing something obvious, but I simply cannot get by.  I'd appreciate any help - thanks.

  OK, I followed the link clicked on download, saved on my desktop, then tried to start the installation.  The returned message is:

  It is often the result of a corrupted download. Please restart the download. If this fails, you can try download with another browser such as Firefox or Chrome?

  Another possibility is malware that you have scanned with your preferred 'egi' software?

  Original title: Original Windows XP cd.

  I have an original cd of Windows XP Home Edition with the product key for it and want to use it... but when I look at the disk, according to me, he said: "Don't use this CD to reinstall the operating system on Dell count" that I had in 2004 and have more... what I want to know I can install it on a different computer now and it would be legal?

  Because Dell SLP, the restriction of similar model is not important. All that matters is the EULA and the fact that the two computers are Dells.

• Just installed SP3 for XP - now many of my icons are generic "executable", including MS Apps

  I finally just installed SP3 for XP and will have proplems with my icons.  Many of my shortcuts desctop now have generic icon for an executable file, and I can't get back them to the icon on the right, even using TweakUI.  This includes all applications of MS Office 2007.  Are still not working the icons to launch the application, but I can't retrieve the appropriate icon.

  When I right click an icon of 'good', I get a full menu of options, including those installed with other applications (like adding a archive, WinRAR).  With a "generic" icon, I get only the default list.

  When I choose Properties for a 'good' icon, the target lists the full path to the .exe file and is editable.  I can also click on the three buttons at the bottom.  With a 'generic' in the properties icon, the target is simply the name of the program (Outlook 2007 lists "Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007") and is grey, so I can't change it.  In addition, the "Find target" and "Change icon" buttons are gray.

  Finally, the files associated with these applications have also lost their icons and now show just generic file icons.  However, double click on these files still brings the correct application and the 'Type' is always listed correctly.

  Any ideas on how I could fix this?  Thank you!

  OK, I thought about it... and feel kind of stupid but I did not before.  In any case, I posted the question, so I'll share my answer - the long version.

  During my first install of XP on my machine, I did a 10 GB partition which would be fair for the operating system.  After a few years, it became clear that it was a little too small, this partition began to fill.  When I first tried to go to SP3, I didn't have enough space on this partition to complete it.  then, I moved some files on the main data partition.  One of the folders, I moved a C:\WINDOWS\Installer.  I didn't know that this file was required for some of the icons on my desktop .exe.

  Anyway, I moved everything back to where it belongs, and now everything is back to normal.  Learn something new every day if you're not careful!

  Reason: the title was too long

  This problem occurs when an old version of Adobe Story is already installed on a system.

  To resolve this problem, you must first remove this version and then install the most recent.

  Now depending on what system you use, are the steps:

  MAC:

  • Open the "Applications" folder in Finder.
  • Move the application 'Adobe Story' to the trash and remove too much Trash.
  • Just to make sure that this application is not installed on a different drive, do a search for 'Adobe Story' in the spotlight. If it is present on a different location, then remove it from there too.
  • Now connect you to story.adobe.com and download the desktop application again and install it.

  WINDOWS:

  • Open the control panel and uninstall the Adobe Story app
  • Now connect to story.adobe.com and download the desktop application again and install it

• Clean Install on old laptop Dell Inspiron 5100

  I received an old Dell 5100 in perfect condition (nine years) and want to perform an installation to a factory State. I have the original disc, but also the additional disk supplied with the computer, the version is XP Home sp1a. There seems to be no recovery partition No. Updates have been continuous and now show installed Sp3.

  My problems are when I started the clean install, he says: I am about to load an earlier version, it's cool, but I'll be able to continue through the updates to sp3 sp1a on my factory drive? I think I read that I may have issues and also issues with the pre-installed Norton AntiVirus again after I read somewhere that this could be a problem as well. I don't find a definitive answer to the question of Norton. Internet Explore on the original disc to factory is also present the update issues?

  I'd greatly appreciate some step by step instructions, if someone could help me.

  Thank you very much for your help!

  There will be no problem goes directly from SP1a SP3 (only a not too install SP2).

  I see you are using a factory restore disc which comes with pre-installed software (Norton).  Just pay attention during installation and if asked if you want to install the decline of additional software to do so.  If you are not presented with an option, then you will have little choice but to accept the process of restoration of factory and when go into Add/Remove programs and uninstall unwanted programs.  DO NOT click on, launch or start all the programs you don't want!  Opening of these trial or bloatware programs can complete or start a stub which initiates the installation of the software.

• 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:

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

  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:
