Log on problem after installation of the sp3

Hi there forgive me if this is old news, but I just bought an old laptop for children. The seller has installed xp pro top with IE 8.

I installed the latest java, W. Media Player. I had a browse through updates and he said that auto updates can not be read if my system is up to date. So I thought that I should install SP3. Once this is done I did the reboot and start-up of the machine re I got the newspaper of the administrator on request of password. When I bought this machine and it works, he never requested a password and went directly to the screen, probably because it was only a single account. the seller told me that he had installed a hard drive cool and a new copy of XP pro. There is a sticker on the back of the machine activation key.

I tried many combinations of passwords, including the sellers name, leave blank and just pressing ENTER. tried Ctrl alt del all resulted in nothing.

I contacted the seller and he said that he never put a password and therefore cannot (or will not help) I looked on the web for some ideas, including starting in safe mode, but the info it says it will ask for a password, but I am. I am now locked out of my machine. Help, please. Thank you

If I bought a used computer, no matter who previously owned the
first thing I could do with it would be to reinstall the operating
system itself. You don't know how the computer has been maintained,
which has been improperly installed, what's missing, what virus and
There may be spyware, etc. I would not live with someone
other errors and problems, possibility of kiddy p0rn, etc. and I
would not recommend anyone else to do.

Your choice of course, but in my opinion, you're playing with fire if you
do not reinstall Windows properly.

Thanks for the reply.

You are welcome. Happy to help you.

To do a clean install, what I have to buy a new version or I can just a xp pro disc and reuse the key at the back of the machine, provided that they are ok.

If you have a product key on a sticker, it's an OEM version. You can
use the disc to a friend, if the sound is also OEM. Try to find a friend with the
same brand of computer.

  • 650 HP laptop Windows 7 64-bit boot problem after installation of the graphics driver

    I bought the HP 650 laptop which came with Suse Linux.

    I installed 64-bit Windows and tried to install the corresponding graphics driver:

    High definition (HD) of Intel Graphics Driver

    as indicated in the list of drivers for Windows 64-bit here:

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=5225013&...

    After installing the driver asked me to restart the computer and after the reboot, boot, Windows boot after displaying the Windows logo on black background the computer restarts again before you boot into Windows.

    After this crash to start a startup repair is suggested and I can complete the restore of the system that allows me to connect to Windows but I have not installed display drivers and things like Aero do not work.

    I tried several times and re - install drivers and had the same problem after each attempt.

    Help, please.

    It's quite a few updates failed.  This can be linked to the issue, but we don't know really until the update problem is resolved.

    Read this document to Microsoft as it addresses this particular error.  It also has various tools to try in case the first option does not correct the problem.

    You can also try the Windows Update troubleshooting utility included in Windows 7.

    Go to start > Control Panel > find and solve the problems under system and security > fixed problems with Windows Update under system and security.

    Let me know what happens.

    My problem is that when I start the laptop and go to the desktop theres a certain point that stop loading... and it gets freeze here until I have to reset manually... (I can go trough well safe mode).

    I don't know if that has soemthing to do with him... but I downloaded and install a new driver from nvidia website. After trying several days, I noticed that there were a few problems, and so I changed it again drivers from the Toshiba web page.

    Well 2 days this is well... I might do normally...

    OK, I decided to use the recovery tool fromToshiba, but the same problem happened while isntallin drivers se... I don't know if it was coincidence, but just after it install drivers from nividia it just stop working again... it froze again... and now it won't let me start with an account , because it gets has frozen afe mode, only I can access my laptop...

    It looks like a card driver from nvidia.com graphci causes freezing. In addition, it is not recommended to only use not pre-tested by Toshiba driver. Toshiba drivers are modified to support protection against overheating. So, use only the drivers of Toshiba driver page.

  • See 4.5 SSL fails after installation of the certificate

    I have a problem after installation following the steps described in the VMWare KB (and a bunch of other places) a certificate is currently working on an assessment of view 4.5

    I set up the environment and everything worked without problems.  Then I installed a certificate using the keytool and the steps described above, ssl connections ceased to work.  The admin page would be just a moment and my client view (currently on trial with the OS X client) would also expire during an attempt of SSL connections.  I had previously enabled connections not secure so that both connections use http still operate.

    The only difference in my SSL import procedure, it's that I signed the certificate using our AD CA.  I imported the complete certificate chain as a .p7b file and keytool complained that he did not trust my CA, (I said yes to import in any case).

    After this issue, I even tried to go back to the original signed cert free by removing the key file and the file locked.config and SSL still does not work.

    Looking through the logs of the events on the server, there is no error SSL and the view admin page itself don't report problems with the server.

    The only other reference to a similar problem, I have seen on this subject is another post on the forums, but it appers that issue was because the server was also the Wyse report server running on this issue, my server is running anything else that the display manager, I do not use a security server just one server.

    Hello

    > I had previously enabled connections not secure so that both connections use http still operate.

    The option ' require SSL for client connections and Administrator display: "is common for the customer and Admin UI connections.

    Because you have disabled this option, only the connections non - ssl will work for both.

    Connect to youyr Admin UI by using http://serverfqdn/admin/ and enable this setting and restart the login server.

  • Problems after installation with XP Service Pack 3 (screen please wait too long)

    After the automatic updates is ready to install and upgrade to SP3 of XP SP2, I have selected only quick installation and the installation progress. For a few minutes, everything seemed perfect, and I could see "Validating license... blah blah components loading... create restore point etc..". And after that, I was responsible for "System restart" I did. And then, the system displays a black screen of "Windows XP" showing "Please wait...". "and the screen is left as it is around 6-7 hours and the 256 Kbps, the internet was still on. After that, I wake up, find the same on the screen and close by the computer strength.

    After the reboot, I've seen the system configuration of Windows XP Professional SP2 to SP3. And one of my theme request then said that "he delivered a fall has resorted to previous settings.

    So, is my Windows corrupted, or incomplete installation? How will I know that the installation is successful? Please guide.

    Thank you

    Hi xploreaj,

    I noticed that often happens when a system has something like Norton or McAfee installed and that it has not been disabled prior to installation of the SP3.  If you encounter any other problems, then it is reasonable to assume that everything is ok.  However, you can also scan your system with Malwarebytes to see if there is no infections present which your current AV software has not picked up on. (how to use Malwarebytes: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/how-to-use-malwarebytes-anti-malware-tutorial).
