Need to restore hp as it came from the factory, has windows xp media edition.

I have an old computer that crashes and I can not get the updates to install. It is also slow and I want to do a clean install and use it only for scanner and some older programs that won't work on the operating system newer windows.  Once I have restore the computer windows update won't work because it is pre sp1.  How can I manually install updates to get it back to sp3.  I don't want to waste money on a new operating system that the computer could die at any moment because it is old and has been used a lot.

Start HERE with Sp1a so here IS for sp3

    You can use these to control which startup programs. Many others settle

    Dear all,

    We have enclosed a case at VMware, please find their findings on the same.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    After the webex session, we just had, I discovered the root cause of the problem reported to an underlying problem on the block device (the logical drive, or a problem on the Board) presented to accommodate the data in question store successfully.

    In short, whenever we try to do raw reading from the disk (from sector 0), the same always fail when we reach the 30932992 bytes (31 MB) brand with an IO error (which is consistent, he is always on this region of the disc that read operations fail, no more, no less). This result can be seen, even if no partition is in the disk (using if = / dev/sdb instead of/dev/sdb1 with dd) and even after zeroing on all sectors (if dd \u003d/dev/zero of = / dev/sdb). Strangely, read operations work fine (as he writes zeros of random data) throughout the entire disk. Keep in mind that the tests I did with no VMware tools (I used almost only dd for these operations), which prohibits certainly a VMware problem (in fact, if you were to try to start the server with a Linux live CD and run the same tests that I did, you would see the same behavior).

    I know that there is no report of material of any bad behavior on the table, but data collected with our tests today completely invalid who. The next step is for you to take this to the server provider to check for problems on the table or discs, because they are there and they are the reason for the problem you reported initially.

    Please let me know if you have other questions about it.

    Thank you

  • Series of beeps sounds coming from the laptop when windows starts... (connecting to the computer)?

    Ok... I recently bought a laptop that had some viruses... So, recently, I have completely swept away my laptop Sony VAIO (model name-VPCEH1AFX) and started from the factory settings. It seems to be back to normal, but he's doing a quick series will beep when I turn on the computer. Randomly, he makes noises in two quick beeps and beeps extended. It sometimes lasts a minute, but it can take up to 5 minutes at a time.

    The only difference with before reboot (that I have noticed so far) is... (1) I can't use the mouse to copy and paste... it is as if the mouse settings are pushed. (2) some games do not completely load right... as the option menus are able to be seen but not used. (3) on the beep. (4) it seems that I've lost a driver or something.

    I have read a few forums and studied the * outta this noise and have read that this could be the BIOS, or a harddrive out or something of this nature. I scanned everything I could think of to analyze and what she says goes and is up-to-date. I'm not an expert in computer science and REALLY need some (simple as possible) record... lol... I use this laptop for personal use and linked work use... Please help...

    Alright. You can try to control your system and see if it will produce freeze any error, momentary, or everything that happened around a minute before or after the sound signal will sound. Also, try to reset your BIOS to its default settings. Good luck.

  • I'm trying to uninstall iTunes from the PC with Windows 7, but get a message "the feature you are trying to use is on a network unavailable resource." How to get around this? (Apple don't give customer service!)

    For the third time! I'm trying to uninstall iTunes from my PC with Windows 7 Home Edition premium as the statement on Apple's site, but get a message "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." I'm then offered a chance to "try again or enter a different path to the folder that contains the package"iTunes6464.msi installation in the box below. " With my limited knowledge, I can't find such a record.

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates. Start by Missing MSI errors .

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • Second slot memory broken from the factory?

    I have a HP Pavilion m6-1000eo.

    My problem is when I try to add more memory that it just snaps into the second slot. I tried with a memory of my old mac and to be sure that it is not the memory that does not fit I also tried to put in the memory supplied with the computer at the secondary location. The original mem. organic pollutants persistent and at the main location with a team, but it does not work in high school.

    I suspect it's something wrong with the comp. from the factory since it's as if something is in the path of memory, so it cannot slide at bottom. I hope that you can see if this is the case in the pic.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I don't see anything bad about the picture. You have to push the module with more pace sometimes, but be careful. Perhaps a picture angle toward the slot can bring up more.

    Please note that it may depend on the versions of Vista and Win 7 you have.
