My windows xp home will not install IE8, SP3, updates, backup NT FixIt it or format partition. It is part of a home network.

The computer has XP Home. It is an older machine, 266 Celeron, 2 GB of Ram that I built a few years ago. It is part of a home network. It has not been updated for a while so I decided to install SP3, updates, IE 8, BackupNT off CD, FixIT and Partition & Format 2 more large players. It wouldn't install them or partition or format the disks again.  It is clear that I have no idea.  Mike

Hello

What is your level of service current pack? Click right my computer, click Properties, on the general tab, he says.

If this isn't SP1A or SP2 you will not be able to install SP3. You will first need to install SP2.

How you try to install the SP3? Stand-alone package or Windows Update?

I must say that I'm not sure why you are unable to install, for example, NTBackup. As said by Harish B N, we need more information about the error you get.

  • Windows Live you will not install Scanner of care

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas: this system is most stupid of THE I never thought possible. I am in the internet Explorer IDIOTICLY stupid, that works properly and is the reason I use Google Chrome in the first place, I'm trying to install this scanner and it won't install because of the stupid 'blocker'. I disabled the stupid thing, and it will not install. I thought that these idiots @ Microsoft sued for monopolizing once already, and that perhaps they had learned their lesson to make us use their crappy products (IE)? Apparently not. This is ridiculous. They want us to be proactive, and then they make it almost impossible for us to PROTECT US? WHY? Why would they do something fundamentally stupid? Honest to God I'm beginning to wonder if go to Apple would not be a better idea instead of having to go through all this BS and probably not get help anyway. What a joke!

    I see that others have had the same problem since the update was published in February, but I can't find a solution.  Windows Update always fails with either of these error messages which directs you to the "Updated System Preparation" program, ot the "Fix It" application, or you advise to install as administrator, after a clean boot or in SafeMode etc etc.   None of these work.   The update simply will not install.  And do me link to a ' file windowsupdate.diagcab which is misnamed (it should be diag.cab to extract...) then always comes with no instructions on how to use effectively.   Someone at - it to these managed to break this one, please?

    I'm running Windows 7 64.  I tried to use Windows Update and received this message: element not found, not found error (0 x 80070490).  Code 490 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.  I tried all of the troubleshooting, difficulty, burning the .iso (which worked great on my laptop running Win 7 32) and I tried a repair, nothing works.  Any ideas or should I just not worry about installing SP1?

    All,

    If all the above steps give no results, the next logical step is to perform an InPlace upgrade.

    An upgrade on the spot is the final solution before you have to reinstall the operating system.

    Note that it takes as much time to do the upgrade as to reinstall the operating system. In addition, some of your custom Windows settings may be lost through this process.

    How to perform a repair installation of Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. Run a repair installation will restore the current installation of Windows to the version of the installation DVD. It also requires the installation of all the updates that are not included on the installation DVD.

    Note Run a repair installation will not damage files and applications that are currently installed on your computer.

    To perform a repair installation of Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, follow these steps:

    1. close all running applications.

    2. Insert the Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 DVD into the DVD drive of the computer.

    3. in the settings window, click install now.

    Note If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:

    Click on start and type Drive: \setup.exe in the box to start the search.

    Note The placeholder drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD.

    List programs, click Setup.exe.

    In the settings window, click install now.

    1. click on connect to get the latest updates for installation (recommended).

    2. type the CD key if you are prompted to do so.

    3. Select the operating system in the "Windows Installer" page you want to update or Inplace.

    4. click Yes to accept the Microsoft software license agreement.

    5. on the which type of installation you want? of the screen, click upgrade.

    6. when the installation is complete, restart your computer.
