• 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.

• Unable to start after installing SP3

  original title: problem installing SP3

  Whenever I have install sp3, that my computer starts in safe mode, I have to run the system restore to get back, can someone help?

  You can't just rename Intelppm, since then it would be "disappeared" but on next boot, XP would always try to load and do not find the file, so I think that you wait for the error.

  I'm not sure that article HP makes sense - perhaps Beach Bum Daavee will weigh on that thought.

  Using the Recovery Console, you need to disable the Service, as shown in method 2 of this article:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/953356

  Then when you restart, the Service will not even try to start.

  If things get worse, you can also run "enable intelppm" the RC.

• I have XP SP2 and am unable to install SP3. Problems with Windows install & download manager.

  I rebuilt a laptop from scratch using XP Home.  Currently, no software beyond basic MS core apps.  Not even MS Office.  I am trying to activate the automatic updates.

  The error messages that I get point to Windows Installer and/or MS Download Manager, but these same problems prevent me from deleting/updating install or Download Manager.

  If I run FixIt to activate the automatic updates to download SP3, the following error message is returned:
  _Windows Installer_
  The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.
  This can occur if Windows Installer is not correctly
  installed.  Contact your support team.

  If I try to manually download the SP3 (WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3 - x 86 - ENU.exe), the following error is returned:
  _Microsoft download Manager_
  There was a problem opennig the Microsoft Download Manager.
  Update your computer with Windows Service Pack 2 or later version to download
  files using the Microsoft Download Manager.

  I think I'll through in circles.   I need SP3 for automatic updates, but impossible to install SP3 since SP3 is not installed.  I must be missing something obvious, but I simply cannot get by.  I'd appreciate any help - thanks.

  OK, I followed the link clicked on download, saved on my desktop, then tried to start the installation.  The returned message is:

  It is often the result of a corrupted download. Please restart the download. If this fails, you can try download with another browser such as Firefox or Chrome?

  Another possibility is malware that you have scanned with your preferred 'egi' software?

• Installed SP3 on a Dell E520, now problems...

  Friends, I have a Dell E520 is my old computer. I've been putting it back for a person to use their laptop is under repair. I no longer had an effective anti-virus program and went to download MS Security Essentials. Was advised that I had to install SP3; It downloaded and installed very well and then told me to restart the computer. Stopped and re-started; ACHI BIOS says "invalid configuration information. I went into Setup and turned floppy on off (another view) and discount at zero hours, etc. POST Tester gives two beeps and 20 code. After I went through Setup, Windows support, shows welcome, then watch my wallpaper with no taskbar or icons and a notice ' settings custom-installation of the custom settings for: Internet Explorer 6. and that's where he stays. the keys are insensitive, although the mouse works. Anyone have any ideas on what I might face or able to do?  any help is greatly appreciated...

  by "keys do not respond" do you mean that nothing happens when you press ctrl + alt + del? Windows that sometimes when you set up a new account. Maybe he didn't do prior to service pack 3. If you leave it alone for a while, he should complete and never show again

  First download the Service Pack 3 file to a folder on your hard drive. http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5b33b5a8-5e76-401F-BE08-1e1555d4f3d4&displaylang=en

  Next check the wireless (if external) or manufacturing of the portable computer of (if built in wireless) technical support web site and download the latest version of the wireless driver and software.

  If external wireless and then disconnect the USB device and uninstall software. If it has integrated the use of Device Manager to remove the device driver.

  Next install SP3 by using the downloaded file.

  Now, install the device driver and the software that you downloaded, and then try to connect.

• Satellite P300-133 - problem installing Win Xp

  Hello

  I have a problem installing win xp to Satellite p300-133.
  To resolve this problem, I have tried the solutions:
  switch to ahci mode in bios and incorporating storage drivers compatibility intel to the installation cd xp with nlite, but none of them solved the problem.

  Laptop computer starts from the cd of xp and xp installation says "program Setup inspects your hardware configuration" and then a blank black screen comes.
  After that, the installation does nothing and waits indefinitely.

  Any ideas on this problem? Thank you.

  Hello

  > switch to compatibility ahci mode in the bios and the integration of the storage drivers Intel to xp with nlite installation cd, but none of them solved the problem.

  The two methods are good!
  You can install the Win XP without drivers Intel Storage Manager (SATA drivers) but in this case the SATA mode must be on compatible mode.
  It works for sure!

  The second method is the installation of the SATA drivers with nLite (drivers can be integrated into the new drive Win XP).

  I put t understand why this doesn t work on your laptop. I think it's a problem with your Win XP drive. Contains this Win XP SP2 or SP3?
  If this isn't the case, then you should use nLite to include min the Win XP SP2.

• Ethernet card disappears after installing SP3 (T60 1951 - 45G)

  Hello!

  I updated my Windows XP with Service Pack 3 yesterday and now it seems my ethernet card has disappeared. i.e., it acts to it has been disabled in the BIOS (not appearing is not in Manager devices etc..). I tried entering BIOS, hide, start, restart, enable in the BIOS and new shoe but no luck. In another thread, I've seen update people complain of broken MS and a clean install could solve the problem.

  My question is if someone else had the same experience and if it is solvable without a clean install of a simplified SP3.

  My machine is a T60 1951 - 45G.

  Everything else seems to work fine by the way, but I'll post if I find additional problems.

  It is reported of SP3 break connectivity LAN/WAN on many laptops (TechNet) MSFN, MS forums. Not quite sure that the resolution is at this time and not quite certain that a new simplified installation of SP3 would be a fix for the problem. For some, SP3 disable WAN completely, while others issue with LAN. It seems that some drivers 'most recent' are the culprits.

  Before doing something drastic, try reinstalling the Lenovo LAN drivers to see if that fix it, otherwise you may just have to go back to SP2 (nothing wrong with it on an existing machine, otherwise it works without problems). SP3, after all, is above all a cumulative (but with 'new') update, so really there is no big reason for updating a working and XP - SP2 system with this new service pack update.

  On a side note, remember to check if installed KB941644 inadvertently as part of the update - it's a "fix" that is known to cause a number of problems of connectivity (insoluble).

  You can see here (MS XP questions) to see if there is a solution to your problem.

  Hope this clears up things

  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.

• IPod Classic 7 G 160 GB ' there was a problem installing this hardware: Apple iPod USB Device ".

  I have recently (June 2014) bought a brand new Ipod Classic 7 G 160 GB Model A1238.

  Whenever I connect via USB to a PC running XP SP3 and Itunes V10.0.7.2 it is always treated as if it were a new connection, i.e. "new hardware found". After trying to install it, it says so "cannot install this hardware" and "there was a problem installing this hardware: Apple iPod USB Device."
  I have also a 2009 16 GB Ipod Nano 4 G model 1285 and this is recognized by the PC whenever it is connected through the USB port itself.
  I connected the Ipod Classic 7 G to a laptop running Vista and Itunes V10.0.7.2 where the Ipod is recognized and installed.

  Even if the PC States that there is a problem installing the Ipod, it still appears in Itunes and I can download music to it and disconnect by using safe mode disconnect.

  PC XP SP3 - Ipod Classic
  I watched "Device Manager" under "Drives", the Ipod Classic is listed as an "Apple Ipod USB Device", but has an exclanation score against it.

  Right-click on the 'Apple Ipod USB Device' properties and the "Volumes" tab it shows the drive with the exact name and the size of the data, by clicking on the properties of "Driver" tab it says 'Unknown' driver provider, driver Date and Driver Version as being "not available". By clicking on the "Driver Details" properties, it shows a driver file-

  C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\PartMgr.sys, File Version 5.1.2600.5512 (xpsp080413-2108).

  Under "Device Manager" USB controllers, there is an entry for "Apple Mobile Devices USB Driver" and a "USb Mass Storage Device"

  The 'Apple Mobile Devices USB Driver' lists two drivers:
  C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\usbaapl.sys and
  C:\WINDOWS\System32\usbaaplrc.sys

  The "USB Mass Storage Device" list a driver:
  C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\USBSTOR. SYS

  PC XP SP3 - Ipod Nano

  I repeated the steps above with the Ipod Nano, connected to the PC and the driver provider is presented as Microsoft with the driver as 07/01/01 Date and Version of the driver as 5.1.2535.0.
  In the "Driver Details" properties, it shows TWO driver files:

  C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\disk.sys AND meanings
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\PartMgr.sys.
  At the same time with the Version of the file 5.1.2600.5512 (xpsp080413-2108).

  The 'Apple Mobile Devices USB Driver' and "USB Mass Storage Device" are the same as for the Ipod Classic.

  I followed the procedure to remove Itunes and even the update to Itunes to V11.2.2 nothing works.

  I am aware that the system is also that XP can now be updated.

  So, why not not Windows Installer Ipod Classic and why the disk.sys driver does not appear

  According to the details of the pilot?

  Is the 7 G Ipod Classic not compatible with XP SP3?

  Yes it is compatible with XP SP3.

  Try asking in the forums of Apple iPod:

• Cannot install SP3 as it crashes even after recovering the computer by using a recovery disk

  I recently had an accident requiring that I reboot using my restore disk that were made when I first came to this computer. Since the restart, I can't access the updates from Microsoft Updates program. No error message, tells me that I can not connect. After several attempts, I think that the problem lies in the validation of the Windows program I use. I tried manually to run the validation program and to download security patches I've saved previous accidents. I show that SP2 is underway. I have a standalone download SP3, that when I upload in the system, crashes and burns. Back to the same thing, restart using the recovery disk. I realize for XP ends next month and its time to upgrade. But I would like to have this machine in working condition to use for other tasks.

  You are a candidate for this patch before installing SP3...

  To find out if you have an AMD processor...

  • Hold down the Windows (between Ctrl and Alt) key and press Pause break
  • Your processor type is shown in the computer: section (see below)

• PC running very slow XP after installing SP3, can I reinstall?

  My PC is turned sssslloooowwwwwlllyyy both since the installation of SP3.  I do not want to troubleshoot SP3 for now, so can I remove and reinstall?  My PC is quite old in years of PC, but performance has been acceptable for me up until SP3 came.

  Thank you

  It is important to disable programs such as Webroot before installing SP3. Personally, I prefer to install the stand-alone version of SP3 while I'm offline and after setting up a clean boot:

  Also, have a look here:

  http://msmvps.com/blogs/harrywaldron/archive/2008/05/08/Windows-XP-SP3-read-all-prerequisites-for-a-successful-installation.aspx

  If you want to solve your problem of performance, set up a CleanBoot and systematically add back programs/process until you figure out the problem:

  REFERENCE DELL GX60 SFF
  OK hear goes: Windows Xp Home edition, ver.2002 was SP2. Celeron (R) CPU 2.4 GHz intel 2.39 GHz 512 MB RAM
  OK you can stop laughing now. I know its out of date and I know that I will eventually improve windows (getting another computer at the moment), is
  not an option. Now, my relic worked fine good healthy and not too fast, but it got me where I should go. Mainly to pay my bills, print them
  play games, etc.; you get the idea. somehow, well I ended up losing several programs and not knowing what I was done, I decided to reinstall
  Windows XP and also to install SP3 (bad decision!). I didn't know that my copy of resettlement was not installing many drivers, you had to put them
  yourself! Needless to say, I fumbled my way through, but I can not all sounds, oh I get this 'static' loud and clear when I turn the speakers off voltage
  but that's all. I've tried everything. Also, when I go into Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers, it shows
  Audio codecs, Legacy Audio Drivers, Legacy devices of video Capture, media control and Codecs video (whatever that means).
  And when I opened the system devices, there is a yellow exclamation point in front: Intel (R) E75/25/E7520 DMA controller - 3594. (phew!).
