• I can't install the SP3 from Microsoft Update Center

  I can't install the SP3 from Microsoft Update Center.So I contacted Microsoft Support and ran diagnostic scan tool and sent the results. They send e-mail attachment reset_subinacle. It's done. FAILED. I tried 3 times and 2 days later... still cannot copy beethov9.wma. file. So now what should I do to get this SP3 on my son's computer? My son has enough disk space for SP3 and I made sure and prepared for this installation. Does anyone know what I need to do? Help!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  Yes, I'm familiar with your recent discussions on this particular computer as well as the fact that he gave to your son as a used computer. Be so familiar with the history of this computer, I feel confident in saying he was already infected when he gave your son.

  I fear that the only way to get this computer secure and fully patched to Windows Update will be formatting the hard drive - and then do a clean install of Windows.

  Since you don't have the disks that originally came with the computer (and assuming that the original owner would have given them to you when gave you the computer if there were), we must assume (or at least to cross our fingers and hope) that there is a hidden restore partition that could be used to return the computer to the condition it was before first it left the factory. I can assure you that can support Dell & will help you, if not directly through the Dell Community forum:http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514.aspx

  Follow the instructions below:

  Personal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows.  Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) won't fix this!

  HOW to do a clean install of Windows XP: see method 1 and http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html#steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978307

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care ofeverything on the next page before otherwise connect the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

  Tip: After getting the computer fully patched, download/install KB971029 manually:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971029

  NB: No matter what Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the removal tool appropriate prior to installing the updates, Windows Service Packs or IE upgrades AND BEFORE installing your new anti-virus application (which will require WinXP SP3 must be installed).

  If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility. Expect to pay about $150 USD (or more) for this service.

• Suggestions on how to update Microsoft Updates when a computer has not been upadted in one year

  have a laptop with Vista on it. The laptop has not been updated (it has been used) in almost a year. I know that there must be a TON of updates it needs Microsoft.

  Another concern that the amount of updates that will be found will crush the computer. How can I update in a safe and less massive way?

  I thought to download all the updates, but simply install a little at a time.

  But I think that the amount of download will be as overwhelming

  Repost

  check marks beside the updates you want to install.

  "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." 90% of the edits, even those labeled as 'critical' no effect not me. I don't use Outlook for e-mail, I do not use Windows Live Mail, is not a server, it is not a media center, is not a game platform, etc., etc.

  I had long climbed out of the car "must always be updated software" long, particularly when it comes to and because of Microsoft updates.

  So far, I ran McAfee, Microsoft Security Essentials and it keeps popping up. I still do not know what updates I need through the Update Center but could manually go and get service pack 3 by itself. I need to be able to use the center of update and do not have this message continues to flow upward.

  What I do?   Thank you so much Corina
