Problem installing SP3 in Windows XP

After installation of Service Pack 3 for Windows XP Pro, it requires a reboot to make the changes take effect.  When trying to restart, it will come only in "SafeMode"!
I went into Control Panel and removed Service Pack 3 and then was able to restart in normal mode?  I tried several times with the same results!
Has anyone experience this problem?  If so, is there a solution?
Thanks in advance for your answer.

  • DVD player doesn't work after installing SP3 for Windows XP.

    DVD player doesn't work after installing SP3 for Windows XP. That it disappeared from "MY COMPUTER". Device Manager sees it, but there's a yellow exclamation mark over it. See the BIOS of the motherboard and it still works in the BACK. I know SP3 is a collection of updates, but I'm not sure that is my problem. I suspect it's one of the more recent cause I have Windows automatic updates is turned on. Thank you.

Thank you VERY MUCH in advance for any help given11 Karen x

    Nanna leighlas,
    Please post with the information requested here: what to post in the Windows Update forum

    I would say you can try a different virus scanner (such as a scanner online) just to check that you don't have a problem with virus\malware.  Here are some links that can help with this:
    Get rid of malware 
    Can I clean an already infected computer?    
    Windows Live OneCare Safety Scanner Windows XP

    Then, you must perform a clean boot on your system and then try to install SP3.

  • Problem installing iTunes on Windows 10

    I get an error message on the installation in the installation of iTunes to Apple Application Support. Specifically, the text reads:

    ""Microsoft.VC80.CRT, type = "win32", version = "8.0.50727.6195", publicKeyToken = "1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b", processorArchitecture = "amd64" '. '. See Help and Support for more information. ' HRESULT: 0 X 80073715.

    In addition once iTunes is installed and I try to open it it wont let me.

  • Problems installing iTunes on Windows 10 12.3.1.23

    Hello

    I had this problem for two weeks, I don't know how to solve, and it would be good to have help.

    Two weeks ago, I noticed that after I had plugged my iPhone into my PC 5, only Windows Explorer recognized iTunes didn't.

    So I tried to see if there were updates for iTunes, but no update has been published.

    I used Windows 10 tools to uninstall it and then tried to install it again.

    Before that, I used CCleaner to make sure that no left, files or old registry key remained in Windows.

    Then I tried to install iTunes 12.3.1.23 by downloading from the Apple Web site and by opening the Setup program.

    Since then, every time, when I try to install iTunes, installation work until it says "Restore action", and a new mask appears, where it is written that there is a problem and that Setup could not install the software.

    After trying this for 3 - 4 times, I went to C:\Users\MYUSER\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update and tried to run all executable files in this folder, which contains installers for each program, Apple needs to install iTunes on PC separatelly, distinguished by the installation program downloaded by the Apple because one website you can download contains all the facilities of programs in a single installer.

    I managed to install all the software, with the exception of the Apple Mobile Device Support (version 9.1.0.6), who, as program controls when a unit Apple is plugged to the PC, and it has not worked since the beginning and is the one who made me do all this, in my view, is the same as the one send me problems during the installation of iTunes when I run the installation program downloaded by the Apple Web site.

    Anyone have the same problem and/or know how to fix this problem?

    I have 10 Home Windows (64-bit) version 1511.

    Thank you

    A

    SPECIFICATIONS OF THE PC:

    Name: HP Pavilion 15-P258NL

    OS: Windows Home (64-bit) version 1511 10

    CPU: Intel Core i7-5500U @ 2.40 GHz

    RAM: 16 GB DDR3

    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 840 M with 4 GB of dedicated DDR3 memory

    FEATURES of the iPhone:

    Model: iPhone 5 s, black

    Capacity: 16 GB

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    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 other cases and a list of documents to support further down the page, in which 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.

    Your library must be affected by these measures but there are also links to the backup and recovery advice it should be necessary.

    In some cases with 64-bit systems, you may need to install the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for older video cards) and QuickTime to enable iTunes work with some videos. 32-bit users must install QuickTime.

  • problem installing SP3 on xp

    The installation of service pack 3 (KB936929) on xp home edition, I get the error message that it cannot find a file. It initializes, starts to install and then a window opens stating he needs to a different path to the folder containing the installation package 'PROPLUS. MSI ". He was looking in a folder called C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRVSTORE located in SYSTEM32 in my WINDOWS folder. If I continue, I get to the install window, and he warns me backup... I know that it will not install. I don't know how to do this... or simply forget about service pack 3.

    Well, it's weird, Windows XP SP3 request proplus.msi located on the Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage editing disc.

  • Satellite A200-1FL: problem installing Bluetooth on Windows 7

    Hello world

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 1FL (PSAE6E) with Windows Vista and I just installed Windows 7 32 bit (no update or upgrade).

    The problem is that when I try to install the bluetooth stack, it installs all ok, but the driver.
    I took the version 7.10.12 for Windows 7 32 bit from http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/?page=download.

    The driver installation window presents itself and the progress bar does not move.
    I waited for a long time and nothing, no response, so I have to cancel.

    However, the software has been installed and when I try to start Bluetooth config or any other tool, the same phenomenon occurs: the driver installation window shows upward and nothing.

    Also, I tried to follow the installation instructions of command since the drivers toshiba download page guess what drivers are each options.

    Can someone knows why this phenomenon occurs?
    Am I missing something or is there a known issue with the Bluetooth in Windows 7 driver?

    Thanks in advance,

    Jorge

    Hello

    On my A500 during installation Bluetooth driver, he invites me to activate the Wlan switch. I don't know if A200 is equipped with WiFi switch. If this is the case, turn it on and try to install. I have more no other suggestion.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand you have issues installing some drivers on the computer.

    I would need more information on this issue to help you better.

    (1) don't you perform a clean installation of Windows or it was a repair install or an upgrade of Windows?

    (2) what is the exact error you get all, installing the drivers?

    (3) do you still feel the drive hard breaks down in the computer?

    (4) what is the brand and model of the computer?

    In the meantime, please follow the following suggestions to solve the problem.

    If you have performed a clean install then, you will need to re - install the drivers for the hardware provided by the manufacturer. To reinstall the drivers, you can either use the drivers and Utilities disc if not, download the correct drivers from the website of the manufacturer of the computer.

    If this does not help then, try to refer to the below mentioned link to fix the problem.

    Automatically get recommended drivers and updates for your hardware
