Problem with Update Service Pack 3

I am running Windows XP with SP3, even automatic update repeatedly wants to install it, or maybe he wants to install an update, for it is written 'Update 1 1.'  Several times, I get a message 'fail' when it tries to install the "Update 1, 1."  I wonder if it is not recognizing the SP3, or if it fails to update SP3 - whatever it is, this problem could make my computer vulnerable to viruses, etc..  Help this issue would be appreciated.  Thank you.

Thank you for your response.  It turns out that I was doing a lot of maintenance you suggested, and I've done the other things you suggested, but the problem persists.

It says "installing Office 2003 Service Pack 3 (SP3) update 1 of 1.  It seems he'll have success, but then I get the same old notice of default and the yellow shield with the! is displayed again.

This is NOT Windows XP service Pack 3, or really have anything to do with Windows XP.

My suggestion is

Locate your installation of Microsoft Office 2003 (CD) media and product key (should be on the CD case, but you can also use Belarc Advisor to analyze your system and get your product key for Microsoft Office 2003)

Uninstall Microsoft Office 2003 Panel--> Add / Remove Programs (and everything associated.)

Restart the computer.

Install Microsoft Office 2003 for your support of installation and usage of your product key.

Restart the computer.

Search and install all updates critical/high-priority http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/, restart and check again and repeat this process until there are no more critical/high priority left.  Ignore all optional updates for now.

  • Problem with Vista Service pack 2

    Like a fool, I downloaded and installed this service pack.  Now my computer restarts.  I spent 12 hours with the technicians MSFT trying to solve the problem, and I still have the problem.  MSFT says the problem with my DELL hard drive.  DELL said that the hard drive is fine.

    I even reinstalled windows - take 3 hours - and I still have the same problem.  I tried to start in safe mode but after loading the files a few dozens, my computer crashes.   I can't to windows to open.  I can't go to my office.  I can't remove this insidious update.

    I can't completely clean the computer I have important files that I'm going to lose.  MSFT and DELL say I need to have a tech shop and have them remove the disc and save my files.  I want to know who will pay for what is not my fault.

    Help, please

    Hello

    One of the easiest ways to remove your data is put the drive in an external USB enclosure and
    Copy the files to a different drive or just use this as an external drive and install a new in your
    computer. Don't forget that looks like the system has problems and I bet it's the hard drive
    drive interface controller card mother.

    Another real possibilities, is that you have a Rootkit that is causing the problem.

    Good luck.

  • Problems to install Service Pack 1 for Vista

    Hello

    I'm running my computer on Vista Home Premium 32 bit only.

    I'll just say everything that happened to that meets anyone knows exactly what is happening. Recently, I received a few DVDs of the trial version of Adobe, who quickly, I tried to install. The installer says I need Windows XP Service Pack 3 or Vista Service Pack 1. I found this curious because I thought that I had installed SP1 long ago when it appeared on Windows Live Update. After checking, I discovered that I had not installed for some reason any. I watched in Live Update for download, but it wasn't there, so I came on the Microsoft site and downloaded the stand-alone version of the service pack. I have closed all the programs that I had running and run Setup. He got to halfway through the installation bar (first?) and has stalled for a while, then extended to the end of the bar and displays an error, which contained a link to this page: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/947366. I followed the steps in resolution 2 and downloaded system update readiness tool. I ran the installer, but it seemed just to stall for a long time, so I canceled and he run. This time I got an error before he began to install (Code: 0 x 80240009). I looked for a solution and came across this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833, with some people claiming it fixed.
    I followed the steps and restarted my computer and it is no longer displayed the error, but it just keeps stalling at the installation screen. I decided to see if I could find an alternative
    solution to the original problem with the Service Pack and came across someone who says that McAffee was responsible, which is the virus scanner, that I installed it on my computer. I disabled
    pretty well all of the program, as well as my firewall and restarted the computer again. I ran the installation but got the same error. I have reactivated my firewall and McAffee and now I'm
    at a loss on what to do next.
    To sum up; I can't install SP1 or system analysis tool and I need to.
    If you need more information, let me know.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello, Ember09

    This seems to be an invalid data error code, Service Pack 1 installer was corrupted when you downloaded it, try to download it once more and check if you get the error again.

    Download the stand-alone update: x 64 | x 86

    MacBook Pro (retina, mid-2012)

    Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7

    Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Graphics card: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

    When I go to the Maps app and click on the current location, I get the message "cards cannot locate current position." Also when I drag the local weather on the notification bar is not find local weather conditions.

    I have ensured that allow location Services is checked under Security & Privacy Preferences. I signed on iCloud and unchecked localization services enable and rechecked it.

    The only time wherever I can run is if I go to the activity monitor and force them to leave the following processes

    com Apple.GEOD (923)

    via (919)

    This will usually get the time to work and show the current location, but it doesn't work sometimes in the cards.

    I provided the date and time is correct and it is synchronized with the site time.apple.com

    When I go to the time zone in the Date and time it shows the city closest to me marked with a blue dot, and if I go over it it says "unable to determine the current location at this time.

    I had this problem since upgrade to Yosemite to El Capitan.

    I would also like to add that, in my house, I have an iPhone more 6s, two iPhone 5s, an iPad (Wi - Fi only) Air and two iPad 2 air (Wi - Fi only) who have no problems with location services.

    I have this problem too, but in my case if I returned to Yosemite the problem is solve, there must be something in El Capitan.
