New installation of XP Pro, cannot update windows
Brought home an old post office work for minimal use for my wife not so necessary or expected. Wanted above all be able to access my office off site using GOTOMYPC for work. XP Pro SP1, it's what he has to load XP again. Load without problems, but having problems with windows update. Confirmed Internet service, no problems but impossible to update automatically, even if turned on and unable to do so online as well. Is there some sort of manual update required now with this old sys op?

Cannot update Windows XP Pro after the reinstallation of the Message, the website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The error number is 0x8024400A.
Should I turn off my Anti virus software is what could be stopping my updates? some sites would sugest that I use Kaspersky 2012, if that's the case, then why do all my other programs that are installed to date OK?
Hello
Check your level of service current pack...
- Hold down the Windows (between Ctrl and Alt) key and press Pause break
- Examine what is listed in the system: section
If there is no service pack designated first level you must download SP2 from...
http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=28
.. .and then run the downloaded program to install SP2.
Once you have done this, or if you were already in service pack 1, 1a or 2, then install SP3 by downloading and running from...
http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=24
For both of the above, you can ignore the text that says it's for network installations and also ignore the text advising windows/microsoft update if a single update of a PC.
So try and get up-to-date with the Windows updates.

Cannot update Windows / / Windows think that its true / / Windows Explorer crash
BACK STORY: Windows told me that my old HDD is faulty and I need to replace it. I therefore created a system disk image and restore the HARD drive fault and buy a new. I have restored my image for the new HARD drive, and apparently some of the system files that got copied have been corrupted.
I'll HAVE PROBLEMS: The main problem I encounter is that windows will not update. I'll go to the start menu and try to choose windows update and it will sit in the windows Explorer screen blank until it crashes. This is the only time that windows Explorer will crash it's fine otherwise. If I have correctly interpreted my read, inability to update windows is caused by the software is is not authentic. Which brings me to the next point.Windows don't think that it is authentic, even if I see the CDKEY in the system information window and when I hit "Activate Windows" in the search bar in the start menu, that it says "Activation was successful." I get a window saying: http://imgur.com/OQlZDhR I thought that I humor the system and try and validate it although this Web site: http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate/DownloadValidationSupport.aspx?displaylang=en when I try and install the software Validation of Windows, I get this error: http://imgur.com/8lb0abRTECHNICAL issues: I bought my computer from a major retailer with Windows Vista, he came with an OS disk. I've then upgraded to Windows 7 a few months after it is released and subsequently lost the installation disk that really means nothing because it is not the full operating system. So, indeed, I have no way to find my drive upgrade for windows reinstall/repair, which is what I would have done originally.What I DID: I ran the command " Sfc/scannow " to the command window and he returned with: http://imgur.com/OD6WygE when I try and access the .log for this, he tells me access denied and I can't access the safe my life.QUESTION: Is there something I can do to fix this? Something like a Windows download different difficulty tool or something else that I don't know who's going to help me fix the windows before going outside and by a new Windows 7 disc to repair the files?Thank you for your time> SimonEDIT: Tried to start in safe mode, I can't even open the windows update screen, just, it is there and does nothing.Edit2: Run the Microsoft Genuine Advantage diagnostic tool, such as requested by another user, post results later.The common cause for these mismatches is a defective Intel Rapid Storage Tech driver

Cannot update Windows 7 with upgrade of Windows 8 so that I've already paid.
Earlier, I bought a Windows 8 Pro upgrade. Recently, I rebuilt my computer by using the Windows 7 installer that came with the PC (Home Premium). I now turn to the 8 Pro window using the key that I've already paid for.
When I use the Updgrade Wizard of Windows 8, it tells me that Windows 8 is not available in my area.
When I use the Windows 8.1 Upgrade Wizard, he asks me if I want to pay $100 + for win 8.1 or nearly $200 to win 8.1 Pro.
I want just to get my upgrade product key I bought already and get my life back.
Anyone know how I might be able to do this?
Thank you, Jayant Gupta, but none of the suggestions worked.
What I ended up doing was downloading a copy of Windows 8 on MSDN developers and this website accepted my installation key during an upgrade to windows 7.
So now I have an authentic installation of Windows 8 Pro and after a few rounds of updates to get to 8.1, I'll be all ready for 10.
Thanks again.

XP pro ie8 32 bit svc pk 3.
during a new installation http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=44636, most of the steps was OK, however, my product key was not for and type of network was not.
As the third so clean installation I did, do you think the pc is to remember my preferences?
Thanks for any help.
I think that when you install XP and turn on the first time, Microsoft collects information from your system during this process to develop a signature of material that goes with your license and store it away. Of course, they do not collect any personal information :)
They do it so that if someone takes your XP installation license and tries to apply it to another computer (it is piracy) that the installation would not activate as your activation must match your hardware.
If someone tried to install and activate your license on another machine with a different set of hardware, MS would say, wait a minute - this license has already been activated on another machine, and he could complain. Then someone has some ' splaing to do.
I suspect that in your facilities in 2nd and 3rd, MS takes a look at things and said... this material signature and the license already go hand in hand, that nothing has changed here, so it is not necessary to activate again, all right.
This is why, if one day you need to replace your motherboard and reinstall XP, even if you have everything and it's all legitimate, you will probably have to reactivate again since the signing of material would be completely different for this license that MS remembers the first activation. A few small hardware changes, that you can get away with, but if the number of points collected to compensate for the signing during the initial activation is too different, you will need help activating.
In this case, if things are legitimate, you can call MS activation team, and if you can convince them that there is no hacking involved and you just have to change your motherboard, they work with you to get your reactive stuff.
Since you are looking at AUMHA, they have a writing little upward about it here, but there are official documents of Microsoft you can read also ('points' and how they work):

Cannot update Windows Media Player security update
I tried to download a book from library using Overdrive and it wouldn't work. He said that I needed to update the Media Security Update window. I did and I said OK to download the file, it gave me a message saying "a security upgrade is required to play this file. You want to download this update? "I said yes and he gave me a message stating:"the date of the certificate is invalid or has expired"the only option was to close or web assistance. Help Web lacked all of the solutions and close terminated the option and left me in the same situation as before. Any ideas on how I can get past this so I can down load books from library.
