Is there a way I can get even SP2 and SP3 for windows xp home edition to my pc that had been in storage since 2007?
I tried to go to windows update but redirected to micrsoft support page, which offers no SP2 and SP3 for windows XP Pro, and yet I don't have a network of computers running windows XP Pro download the SPs would be a disater as it is intended for more than one PC.
It does not give the notice to go to the windows update page, but I can't get there because I do not have windows XP SP 3 installed on my pc, and even if I have it on a disc I couldn't install it anyway because SP 2 is not installed on this pc.
So this pc seems to be thrown into a sort of limbo XP, does anyone know a way I can get these much needed without breaking service packs?
The download versions below can be installed on a single computer.
Where to download the SP3 Setup file:
(The file is large but only installs the components required by your PC)

I would also create a "save image" of my front disc
to install SP3 just in case you have problems.
Not having any Image backup software:
Try the 'True Image' (has a 15 day trial version available)

Is it possible to get sp1, sp2 and sp3 for XP
I know it's laid before, but where can I download updates SP1, SP2 and SP3 for XP.
I have the original XP Pro install media.
I am strongly considering to put XP Pro on a Dell PC I have has no HARD drive.
I plan to do that because it's basically Win8.1 PUE!
A HUGH mistake buying a machine with Win8.1!
It is UGLY, it is INFLATED WITH CARP, it is UNDESIRABLE to the IMO.
I have need a lot of talk of "insecurity" and any future update. I can't live without them.
I can't the XP service packs of MS or where ever?
CHANGE > in fact I found the s SP just now install media.
I found the stub thing after that I downloaded. But I found no later than SP1 stub. But if the SP1 is not necessary, I can remove it. Just read somewhere that, in order to get SP3 installed, I need SP1 AND SP2.
No, to install sp3, you have sp1 OR sp2.
Yes, the news of the "System requirements" on the download page of the sp3 are vague and misleading: "Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional Edition, Windows XP Service Pack 1, Windows XP Service Pack 2."
Commas means 'or' - except the comma between the two editions and two service packs, which means 'and '. The requirements must be written (XP Home or XP Pro) AND (XP sp1) or XP sp2.
If you don't end up doing this, see the post following MS MVP PA bear first: https://groups.google.com/forum/#! msg/microsoft.public.windowsupdate/4-jCtXsbshs/HBI-0476Wj8J

If I accidentally deleted everything that was in my trash, is there a way I can get it back? I really need to, it is VERY important! Help, please!

"Deleting" a file does not actually delete it marks just the space
also available to be used. There are third-party programs that can
sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by
the file is likely to be replaced very quickly, and it makes
the unrecoverable file.So your chances of successfully recover this file are decent if you
Try it again immediately after the deletion of it and go quickly
downhill from there. If you have used the computer since then (for
example to write this question and read this answer), your chances may
be very poor now.But if the file is large enough, it's still worth a try. Stop
using the computer in question immediately, if you have not done
already. Download an undelete program (and here's one:)
http://www3.TELUS.NET/mikebike/restoration.html but there are several
others to choose from; Do a search) on a friend's computer and bring
it to you on a floppy disk, CD or USB to try.If that fails, your only recourse is to bring or send the disc
a company of professional file recovery. This kind of service is very
expensive and may or may not work in your case.Ken Blake (MS-MVP)
