Newly installed Windows XP Home Edition SP1a Version 2002 works not properly.
I have a Dell Dimension 4300 S and I recently installed Windows XP Home Edition SP1a Version 2002 from the disc I have. When I try to download the SP2 and SP3 from Microsoft I get this box that says "extraction error." I can't download anything and sometimes, when I'm on the internet on this computer, it says "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" and I send error report and, sometimes gives me the blue screen and starts dumping memory. Also, it wont let me on the Windows Update page and the computer won't auto updates.
Does anyone know what is the problem? I reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition SP1a Version 2002 two or three times now and linked the repair disk, and I always get the same problems.Let me know if I have to give any specs or whatever it is.Love the help I'm getting here. :)

Original title: new hard drive Blues.
got sata disk hard western digital 500 GB installed, I have tried to download winxp home, got a blue screen
stop: 0x0000007b (0xF78D663c, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000
I need help
Hi aqm0207,
How you try to install Windows XP Home Edition?
You may receive an error message "Stop 0x0000007B" in the following scenarios:
(a) a device driver that your computer boot controller needs is not configured to start during the startup process.
(b) a device driver that needs your computer startup controller is damaged.
(c) It can also occur if the hard drive in the BIOS configuration is bad.
You can check if the SATA hard drive is correctly configured in the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) & can also update the BIOS. If you are not comfortable to do, you can contact the manufacturer of your computer for help.
Note: Changing the BIOS / chipset can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/chipset can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
You can also check this link:Advanced troubleshooting of errors "Stop 0x0000007B" in Windows XP
Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

I installed Windows XP Home Edition. Can not find the wireless network drive
I installed Windows XP Home Edition on my spare PC. Now I have wireless network card in the computer and problems to find the drivers for it, and I don't know what brand it is, so I know it's kind of makes it harder too. Then I also have to start the computer, but if I press F1, the computer starts well
I was just wondering how can I get rid of this?
Disable all devices that can connect to your router (wired or wireless)...
- PCs
- Laptops
- Tablets
- Smartphones
- Smart TV
- Printers
- Networked storage
- Another thing that I have not mentioned above!
Put on your router and wait for the normal light distribution. Then turn on all devices.
I hope that your ip address conflict went away. Generally ip conflicts can happen when the router is running again without doing the same with all devices later.
If you have even an ip address conflict, it is possible that you forgot something above or can someone use your router without your knowledge.
Your router's wireless network is secure? Ideally with WPA2 encryption?

I am trying to install Windows XP Home Edition on Xp Pro. How do I?
I am trying to install Windows XP Home Edition on XP Pro. How do I? I load it in the drive, reboot and it won't work.
Without going into why you might want to do this, you may access your computer's BIOS and change the order of boot devices so that it looks first at the CD player. When you start the computer, watch the screen carefully. There will be a message that says something like, "to change the system settings, press F1. The exact text, as well as the key, may be different.
Restart the computer and press the key as soon as you see the message (you'll probably just a few seconds). Once you are in the BIOS configuration utility, navigate using the arrow keys, the tab and button. Navigation instructions usually appear at the bottom of each screen.
Here's a 'how to' with screenshots. Your computer may not be identical, but this should help you in the right direction: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ss/bootorderchange.htm

Windows can't check for updates 80244019 error code.
I have a problem, the system is vista home basic. Windows can't check for updates 80244019 error code. I have read many of the forms and ran from bugs that I found from microsoft. Further investigation indicates the RPC and DCOM service Launcher are grayed out and cannot be started or stoped. Registry settings look good for the RPC service. The DCOM service depends on RPC service. In the GUI at the same time say they are started but from the comand prompt, I run the command net start and neither one is registered as running. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Lost the disk to install windows xp home edition
Two computers: Windows XP Home edition installation disc was lost for computer #1 and I need to reinstall windows on this computer, I have the product key number and the number of OEM for this computer(#1). The question is can I use the installation disc for computer #2 in the #1 computer and use the product number of the #1?
You * may * be able to get away with it - but you'll probably need to install using the disc and the key to #2 (it is almost certainly integrated in the drive), and then change the key of the injector appropriate using the product key update tool

You will need to re - install windows xp home edition after hardware failure.
Hello
I have an old e-machines computer desk (T1842) I bought nine years ago. It comes preinstalled with microsoft windows xp home edition, there is little time, we had a power surge in our House because of an act of God. I didn't throw this computer, so I bought a new power supply and a new motherboard for my computer running again. This is where my problem occurs, the hard drive on this computer became corrupt, and I have to re - install the operating system on it. The only software that has been arranged for me at time of purchase was a two disc set of what e machines calls "recovery disc". I tried to use these disk to get my computer running again, but there seems to be a hardware conflict now because I had to replace the motherboard, etc... What can I do to get my computer working again, of course, I still have the certificate of authenticity of microsoft / label the product key provided on the back of my computer at the time of the purchase, but the product key does not seem to help me solve this problem. I do not want to get my computer working again, it would be nice if I could get a new disk of software that would be compatible with this new motherboard, etc.. Can someone help me please?
Thank you
David
FWIW... The motherboard came with a driver disk? If you use the recovery disk, I don't think you will be able to re - install windows from scratch. Even if you could you would have problems with the product key code, since the code you have is registered to the old mobo. You can click on the link below and follow the instructions to create a Utlity Cd, allowing you to recover your data on the hard drive. It is also full other little tools that will be useful.

How to save with pre-installed Windows XP Home edition SP3 but no install disc?
I want to save data files on desktop with preinstalled Windows XP Home Edition SP3. I don't have access to an installation disc. How can I get a?
You don't need a Windows installation CD in order to backup data files. What makes you think do you?
[The light bulb turns]: you're probably trying to install NTBackup. My advice to you is to forget NTBackup and get a disk imaging or cloning application. I propose the following actions:
Acronis True Image Home
Paragon backup and recovery home
Casper 6.0
Norton Ghost (used to be the standard for imaging applications, but I haven't used recent editions; if you really want to use a Symantec product, read the reviews on Amazon)If you really want to use NTBackup (worth what you pay for it), see http://www.ihatedroz.com/windows-backup-utility-without-cd
