I want to watch tv on my knees a due d download silverlight, I did but I was told that I had to upgrade my service pack to obtain further updates, how and where can I update a windows xp 2002 service pack?

I saw the entire conversation so far...
 
You have Windows XP Home Edition (32-bit) with Service Pack _<-- where="" you="" need="" to="" fill="" in="" the="" blank. ="" either="" you="" have="" no="" service="" packs,="" which="" puts="" you="" a="" decade="" behind;="" you="" may="" have="" service="" pack="" 1,="" which="" puts="" you="" only="" eight="" years="" behind;="" you="" may="" have="" service="" pack="" 2,="" which="" means="" you="" are="" only="" 4="" years="" behind...="" if="" you="" have="" service="" pack="" 3="" -="" then="" you="" are="" reading="" some="" message="" incorrectly="" and="" it="" may="" not="" be="" asking="" for="" a="" windows="" service="" pack="" -="" but="" some="" other="">
 
Now - you need to understand what you have.  We'll see what we can do to help.
 
Use this web page: How to find what Windows XP Service Pack is installed
.. to understand.
 
Come back - let everyone know.
 
According to back how you go - you'll need to install the SP2 and SP3 and all post SP3 updates to put this back on track...
 
FIRST: Uninstall Internet Explorer 7 or Internet Explorer 8 installed. Back to all the way back to Internet Explorer 6. You want other patches before you get those. Reboot after doing this.
 
Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]
 
Install it.
 
Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.
 
Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]
 
Install it.
 
Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.
 
Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).
 
Install it.
 
Reset.
 
Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.
 
Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.
 
In addition, if you run all this time without the latest service pack and patches, it is probably more things you can do...
  
Download an application AntiVirus installed and updated (what do you currently use?) - free are fine: Avira, AVG, Avast
 
You could spend ~ 60USD during two years of eSET NOD32 AntiVirus (not more - just product AntiVirus) and which would be more worthwhile.
 
Then - just to make sure you started on the right foot...
 
Search for malware:

Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)
 
Search online with eSet Online Scanner. Remove everything it finds.
 
Reset.

  • Is it possible to integrate the service pack 2 for Windows Vista?

    Hello

    I bought a full copy of Windows Vista Edition full in 2007 but I have not yet used.  Since the recent availability of Vista Service Pack 2, I wonder it would be possible to combine or integrate service pack 2 with my Windows Vista Ultimate DVD disc to a new blank DVD disc?  In other words, I would like to create a new Vista DVD installation disc that combines my copy of Vista Ultimate with the new service pack 2. Thus, I would avoid the process laborious and tedious installation service pack 1 and service pack 2 on windows updates.  Or do I need to have a copy of Windows Vista with service pack 1 preinstalled DVD disc before attempting to integrate service pack 2?  Please note that my installation of Windows Vista Edition full DVD disc has no service Pack1 preinstalled.

    I know that this was possible with Windows XP but some kind I've read reports recently that it is not possible with Vista because service pack 2 is not a cumulative update and the service pack 1 must be installed before you attempt to integrate service pack 2.  Is this true?

    I would be obliged if anyone out there can clarify this issue.

    Thank you

    Original title: Windows Update No. Longer - Vista business functions

You may have to restart your computer. "Control via msconfig reveals that he is ticked as"running ".

    I run Microsoft Fixit has several times. It is said he has "solved" the problem, but it did not work. Of course there is a corrupted somewhere file that needs to be replaced.

    Please don't say no "update for Win 7" or "Reinstall Windows" because it's not just going to happen.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello

    1. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

    2. what anti-virus software is installed on your computer?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Anti-virus software may conflict with Windows Update.  You can temporary disable them and check the issue.

    Disable the antivirus software

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 3:  If the methods above do not help, I suggest you delete the edb.log file and check if that helps.

    Follow these steps:

    a. click the Start button, click computer.

    b. now, go to this site: C:\windows\softwaredistribution\datastore\logs\edb.log

    c. delete the log file, and then restart the computer and check the issue.

    Well, it's going to be a long Chronicle, but in the end, the problem has been resolved. Please bear with me:

    Running the program MS Fixit in the past without success, I tried to run the update after you temporarily disable AVG, my program AV. no joy.

    I then ran CC Cleaner to get rid of some of 'dead weight '. I even used its registry cleaning option (which included saves).

    At that point, I did some 'household', & began to defragment my HD with Defraggler. But since it seems to take forever, I went to My Defrag, who finished the job much quicker.

    Although I tried to delete the edb.log file using method 3, I kept getting a message system which was unable to complete this action because the file has been opened in another program.  In the end, I was able to delete the file, but fact directly through Explorer. There also seems to be a sort of small file edb.log, indicating that it was a "recovered" version I deleted that one as well.

    At this point, I ran MS Fixit, who States that the Windows Update components needed to be fixed and proceeded to do so again. Because he had allegedly "fixed" my Updater in the past, I was not holding much hope that this time would be any different. So, after that what he has done, I was pleasantly surprised, I might actually start updating!

    However, the update message that a new version would be dl before I could go any further. So I did it.

    When the new version is started, it ran for about 10 minutes, coming with about 50 updates. According to flush out those who were of no use to me, finally I had dl and installed all relevant updates. And now, the update seems to work fine.

    Once again, my apologies for the long answer. But I wanted to tell the whole story, as I did not quite plan of RajithR.

    Thank you!

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.


    Important: When performing analysis on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when parsing tent repair this sector if all available on which data can be lost.

  • When I try to use the Windows updates to and the following error message: Windows update cannot currently check updates, because the service is not running

    have tried to use windows update and get the following error message: Windows update cannot currently check the updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart you computer. I rebooted several times. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am not very computer

    Original title: update windows

    Solution 1:

    Try this: http://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-7/cannot-run-windows-update-on-a-windows-7-pc/

    Solution 2:

    You can try to stop and restart the Windows Update Service (wuauserv). Open a command line window (run as administrator) and enter the following lines:

    net stop wuauserv
    regsvr32 %windir%\system32\wups2.dll
    net start wuauserv

    If this does not help, try Microsoft Fix It service to reset your Windows Update components:

    I hope this helps.

  • Unable to do the Windows updates, error "Windows Update cannot currently check updates, because the service is not running.

    Only the news I get is an information box stating:

    "Windows Update cannot currently check updates, because the service is not running." You may have to restart your computer. »

    I checked that the service is running, and a process is running in the Task Manager.

    I have downloaded and run Microsoft Fix, it is said that it fixed the problem, but didn't.

    I cloned my old drive and installed my new drive in my laptop. It seems that there is no update history transferred when cloning, there is no history of updates now.
