It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

• Windows XP will not stop with service pack 3

  Several months ago I installed service pack 3 for Windows XP.  From as soon as possible, the system would block when I'm going to stop it.  The only cure (for a novice like me) was to put the computer manually.  Sometimes, maybe once every 15 - 20 times, the system shuts down normally.

  I lived with it, but it's very boring, so I went to remove the program from the service pack 3 today, and the system does not allow deletion.  So my question is:
  1. is there a way for me to solve this problem when windows will not be stopped?  , or,
  2. is there a way for me to remove service pack 3?

  Thanks for your help!

  At some point, this computer had McAfee and Norton.

  The foregoing notwithstanding, Norton and McAfee applications are notorious for not to uninstall (or upgraded) themselves. "Leftovers" can be the cause of your problems:

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  1B. download the tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. double-click on the file that you saved in # 1 a above, to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  4. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  5. double-click on the file that you saved in # 1 b above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then reboot once again.

  => Did you get SP3 installed again and is the computer fully patched to Windows Update (including the most recent update root certificates)?

  Extended support for WinXP SP2 ends July 10, 2010. After this date, the computers running under that WinXP SP2 will NOT be offered for additional updates of critical security, automatic updates do not work, and site Web Windows Update won't be available until SP3 is installed.

• After you install service pack 2 for windows vista

  After installing service pack 2 for windows vista on my HP laptop, I started having a few problems. First off the computer would not go beyond the Welcome screen because he showed that an update was the installation (step 1 of 3:0 % etc.) and the computer reboots before finish. It kept the case whenever I started upward, even on safe mode. I tried to restore, but it would never be completed and nothing else would work. Now I can't go beyond the microsoft loading screen because it shows a black flat screen with no cursor. I can't enter safe mode. Help, please. Safe mode only shows the start screen but won't start so I can't access the control panel and tried to boot to the last known successful startup but it failed.
