Is a XP SP2 / SP3 [32 bit - family edition] CD {still} available?

Hi - I know that the SP2 support ends in July 2010, I'm XP family and I have dial-up internet service. My hard drive crashed and I'm trying to restore security.

I have SP1 and downloaded SP1 - trying to download SP3, but without success. Not to mention that the download is a whopping 22 hours!     Once, I got a cd version of the SP2 since the beginning of the Decade, but impossible to find.

All attempts to locate online through Microsoft.com do not work, unless I'm missing something...

any help would be appreciated!   Thank you

    original title: repeated failure of XP SP2 SP3 installation &

    Computer - 32-bit intel running Win XP SP1. Before the blue screen of death and sys fatal error: "logon windows process is complete w / status of 0xc0000005 (0x00000000 0x00000000)" computer ran SP2.  However once I got XP with the ERD installation, system not subsequently install SP2 (which has no x 3). Before the blue screen of death, I had a lot of crashes with IE and had tried to install SP3 several times (at least 4 x and it has always failed).  Last week, cleaned the registry with CCleaner and today cleaned registry with Windows Registry Editor (that I got from MS and installed the code in Notepad and ran). SP 2 fails to install. At first there was a message. So I uninstalled Norton, thinking that may be preventing them working right. (Since I had Norton until today I think not machine is infected.) After cleaning the registry, I got a new error: "Entry point procedure DecodePointer is not found in KERNEL32.dll dynamic link library" is there anything else I can do? Thank you.

    Since its impossible to say what your registry cleaning did I think that at this point I would do the following:

    (1) download and create the startup disk check utility of your HD manufacturers site, for example SeaTools for WD drives

    (2) create the memeory bootable checking the utility from www.memtest.org

    (3) assuming that the two utilities do not present any errors

    (4) pure install winxp, deleting all partitions, create a new one, and then continue with the installation

    (5) install the drivers, if you have a driver disk provided by the manufacturer of the PC, otherwise, create an internet connection, enable the windows firewall, do NOT install any programs or admit MSUpdate run

    (6) If a large PC manufacturer for example Dell / Hp or laptop then visit this site of decision-makers, specific to your model and update all drivers, if a generic PC card so if material individual responsible, for example the motherboard, sound, video, these last two are not on board the motherboard

    (7) then run MSUpdate, configure it to Important updates ONLY, and NO updates recommended - you may need to repeatedly run MSUpdate

    (8) then check the operation of your PC. Unless you have the latest version of Norton I forget and try http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/

    (9) only after all seems okay if you think about installing software

  • D20 + SATA ONLY + WINXP SP3 32 BIT

    Hi all

    Testing a D20 for the company and can not get the D20 to run as a SATA drive only. Currently, its spinning the Marvell controller with a 500 GB drive in.

    Have tried to get into the BIOS and disable the RAID controller but then I can't use the HD as just a SATA drive.

    The only joy I had is to plug in a diskette with 32-bit controller Marvell drivers starting with Windows XP 32-bit, as he travels through install press F6 to install the drivers for the controller, and then once I hit continues to back installation/format disks, I get a blue screen of death. The strange thing is that if I use our WinXP SP3 32 bit copy of Microsoft license which it MUST be installed with I get the BSOD, but if I through in a Dell WinXP SP3 32 bit OS disk I can install the operating system without problem at all!

    All I want to do is really disable the single use of SATA drive only (somehow) RAID controller and install WinXP SP3 32-bit using our copy of Microsoft Licensing with this blue screening!

    Any help would be fantastic!

    See you soon,.

    I have Windows XP Home Edition SP3, 32-bit and IE8.  Do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?

    The upgrade to Windows 7 is a personal decision.  Chances are that if you can do what you need to do on Windows XP then it is 'useless' to upgrade.  If you plan the upgrade anyway, you should first check to see that your hardware is supported under Windows 7.  To do this, Microsoft has provided a program of "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" to run on your current computer.

    Are your machines with a UEFI firmware? If so - bad luck because they don't are not supported (p.19 in the guide). The reason is not the firmware itself (Converter supports UEFI) but the bootloader. SLES using GRUB with BIOS machines but ELILO with computers UEFI and converter does not support ELILO.

  • XD - bit (CPU function) disabled/not available for Satellite A100-PSAA9

    Last week, I bought the laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-847 (Satellite A100-SPAA9) which has an Intel Core 2 Duo, model T7200.

    Specifications Intel, this processor (as all Core and Core 2 processors) has the particularity of XD - bit, known in Windows like DEP. I had the unpleasant surprise to discover that this feature is
    reported by Windows as unavailable (in hardware). I got the electronic manual on the recovery CD (which is an edition that is older than the printed manual that comes in the package) that I can do this feature
    available (for some older models of Satellite) but I couldn't find any option in my BIOS to do this (my BIOS is made by Phoenix, version 2.0).

    I really want to know how to make this feature available/active as my processor socket and so is the operating system purchased with the laptop and more than that, this feature is something beneficial - specially designed for security reasons and supported by all modern processors and operating systems.
    What do I have to wait for an updated BIOS include this option (to activate the feature XD bit) or that it is automatically set as active/available (instead of disabled/not available)?

    I expect a well documented answer from someone who knows what I'm talking about.

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    I know what you're talking about.
    Execute Disable Bit (xD-bit) Intel can help prevent certain malicious types of buffer overflow attacks when combined with a compatible operating system.
    Disabling malware code procedure is called the extension-> short adj. data protection

    Data Execution Prevention (DEP) helps prevent damage from viruses and other security threats that attack by running (executing) malicious code of the locations of memory that Windows and other programs should use. This type of threat causes damage by taking over one or more locations of memory used by a program. Then she spreads and harms other programs, files, and even your email contacts.

    Unlike an antivirus program or firewall, DEP does not prevent harmful programs from being installed on your computer. Instead, it monitors your programs to determine if they use the system safely memory. To do this, DEP software works alone or with compatible microprocessors to mark some memory locations as "non-executable".

    If a program tries to run malicious code or not a protected location, DEP closed the program and notifies you.
    DEP can take advantage of software and hardware support. To use DEP, your computer must be running Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later version, or Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 or later version. Software only DEP helps protect against certain types of malware attacks, but to take full advantage of the protection DEP can offer, your processor must support "execution protection".

    The Windows 32 bit (SP2) version supports bit off Execute (xD) so the computer function notebook processor is running in mode of extension (PEA) physical address.
    It is a technology based on hardware designed to mark the locations of memory as non-executable.
    If your processor doesn't support hardware DEP, you need to upgrade a processor that offers execution protection features.

    However, you can see the control panel-> system-> Advanced tab-> Performance settings-> Data Execution Prevention tab.

    By default, DEP is enabled only for essential Windows operating system programs and services. In order to protect more programs with DEP, select turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select.

    Hi all
