Problem installing Service Pack 1

Hello I recently restored my computer to System. I was installing all the updates for my system to speed, however when I downloaded and installed Service pack 1, it tells me it has installed, but doesn't show that there in the installed updates section. And when I try to download Service Pack 2, he said that I should install Service Pack 1... I have about 5 times. I'm stuck with what to do so that my computer is not running very good with some programs

  • Problems with Service Packs - when you try to install Service Pack 2, it says I have to install SP1. When I try to install SP1, it says that I have already.

    My automatic update did not work, so I went to the site to try to download Service Pack 2, one seemed to have trouble with my computer. After I downloaded it, I tried to run, but he said I had to download Service Pack 1. So I did it. When I try to run this file, it says I have already installed Service Pack 1. So I tried to restart the Service Pack 2, but she is always claiming that I need Service Pack 1. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Can anyone help? I'd be happy.

  • Error installing Service Pack 3 on XP because of the "disk space" despite 40 GB free

    Well, I was working on the installation of some programs for my school (ProE Wildfire 4.0) and to run it, we required some software VSP. When you try to run the software, it gave me errors on missing components and when he tried to download, it gave an error. So I decided to do a Windows Update for I hope to solve this problem and tried to install Service Pack 3 (this a bootcamp partition on a Mac, unfortunately, everything works great on my desk), who was absent, probably because I installed XP only a few months ago. However, whenever I tried to install the service pack, it gives me an error, saying: it took 4 MB more disk and cancel the installation. I got 40 GB free, so I just did a virus scan of the entire system with Symantec and Spybot S & D. Then I made the error of disk checking, defragmentation, disk cleanup, cleanup with CCleaner and cleanup with CleanUp!. And he always gave me the same error. During this time, I realized that Microsoft Security Center was not picking up on my Symantec Antivirus. I had a virus earlier and thought that Spyware S & D and Symantec may have missed something, so I did some research and took measures to protect themselves against a little guy called backdoor.haxdoor.cn. Apparently, I was not according to HSfix and HijackThis. So I thought that Service Pack 2 might have poorly installed and messed up the Security Center and my chances of installation of Service Pack 3. But when I went into Add/Remove Programs (w / visible updates), I couldn't find the upgrade to Service Pack 2 anywhere, that brought me to believe he was present on the XP cd, I have installed since. So I tried to take a break for Service, removing the repository, and then by him restarting. That no longer works. So I gave up on the antivirus error causing the service pack 3 error idea and tried to do some research on service pack 3 generally, but I couldn't find anything really relevant. And now I don't know what to do anymore. Any help would be appreciated.

    silentearth3,
    Well, it sounds as if there are a lot of things with your computer.  The first thing I would say is to clean your system startup and then try runnings Windows updates.  Make sure you have any antivirus or firewall programs that may interfere with Windows Update.
    Here are the instructions for the clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/310353

    If you still have a question I would then download SP3 to your desktop and try to install from there.  Here are the instructions on how to manually install SP3: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322389/

  • The brightness of the display function is not after installing Service Pack 2

    Hi, I had installed Service Pack 2 as recommended by the window update (my laptop is HP DV5 series). After installation, my screen resolution has changed and so I put it back to normal. But the strange thing is, I can't change the brightness of the screen by clicking on Fn + F keys that I've always done. The function to change the brightness in the power option is too much missing.

    Problem is solved after I restore the window. FN + F keys work, and re-emerged the brightness option in the Option to. The problem is, should I go for the new update that remind me of in the update of the window? Thank you!

    Hi all

    I suggest that you download and install the latest version of the software of the manufacturing.  Software installation utility your function keys should work again.

  • Windows XP install Service Packs 1, 2 and 3

    I have a secondary old Dell desktop PC. The Intel graphics chips and drivers were originally produced by Intel only for XP or XP Pro for this configuration of office. I had to reinstall my XP Pro HARD drive problems. XP Pro installed OK, no problem. I have need of SP 1, 2, and 3 to update the operating system to improve the graphics, who are in default of 640 X 480 16-bit VGA mode of operation.

    I use this machine for a program of database of previous flat file called Q and A 4, I need. I don't use internet on this computer. XP Pro tells me I can't install Service Packs without an internet link to Microsoft. Is it possible to install the three service packs for XP Pro without having access to the internet?

    Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

    Here is the link for SP2

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?ID=28

    you don't need to install SP1 first, and you only need to install this if your relocation was not already SP1 or later version.

    Here is the link for SP3

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?ID=24

    You can go straight for this installation if you already have a service pack installed.

    Here's the downloadable installers so obviously, you will need to download on another PC and save it on a USB key (for example) or other portable media. The links take you directly to a download prompt. If you see something Microsoft Advisor downloads are for networks or professionals to ignore it.

    This will not only fix your graphics problems. You need to get the drivers for your graphics card in the manufacturer's Web site. If you want further help let us know more details about your system Dell (serial number and/or range/model).

    Graphics drivers are probably not the only drivers you are missing. Install the Intel chipset drivers above all other device drivers. Go to the Dell support site and enter your service tag to get a list of drivers

    http://www.Dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/products/

    You can download them in the same portable medium that you use for the service packs.

    See also general Dell helps with the installation of the driver

    See also the installation order pilot Dell

    http://www.Dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/268873?c=us&s=DHS&CS=19&l=en

    You should have received a Dell CD with all the drivers for your system on it, but, from my experience, many people "lose".

    I have recently installed windows service pack 3 and now when I try to install service pack 4, I get this

    The version of windows that you are trying to install does not match the update you are trying to install

    No, it means that you are misunderstand any error message you see.  There is no service pack 4 for Windows XP.  All reputable antivirus meant for Windows XP software will install on Windows XP service pack 3.  If you have problems to install antivirus software, your computer may already be infected.

    You must install one antivirus resident program.  Do not install the Avast and AVG; Choose a.  You can have other anti-malware of on demand software.  The best of them is MalwareBytes AntiMalware (free).

    If you would like more information, please proceed as follows:

    1 display the full text, without paraphrasing, of any error message you get when you try to install a software of your choice.

    2. after the URL (link) of the Web site from which you downloaded the antivirus installation package.
