• 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?

• Problem with Windows Mail after download IE9

  Since IE9 download, I had problems with Windows Mail.  Like others, I lost the box that says, "some pictures have been blocked to help prevent the sender from identifying your computer.  Click here to download the images. "With my mail, I'm able to get a preview of the e-mail for 60 seconds before it actually opens and this is where the above 'box' appeared.  Now when I preview the email, this box is not there and I don't see one of the photos.  If I open the electronic mail, the box is there and I can click on one to see all the pictures.  The problem/question for me is I don't want to open the email to see all the pictures: I want to display them in preview mode, so I know what I'm opening!  Help!

  Original title: several problems with Windows 8

  Last Sunday, after downloading Ab2word, my tiles shortcuts stop working. I have uninstalled the program, but nothing improved. I made an update of Dell and got the shortcuts work again (curiously I could always connect via the desktop). now, I get a message saying that Windows is disabled and to enable him, by putting in... but he says that it is impossible to activate. Then I tried the upgrade to 8.1 by the store and got a message saying that I was unable to complete the download. Now my shortcuts tiled work, but they open the sites registered by the office, not as a full screen. I tried to restore to the factory and now get the message that the system is unable to restore. I ran a dell diagnostic and it showed nothing. I did a full security scan and he came clean. I'm rapidly reaching crisis. When you try to seek help on the Web site, Windows 8 is not listed... It is 7 to 8. 1. any suggestions? This computer is less than 2 years old and I'm ready to take a hammer to it.

• Problem with Windows Installer (I think)

  Hey I just got a new 'game' PC with all the good things like i7 processor nvidia GTS 250 graphics card. So I guessed I would setup games. Games were installed very well the problems started when I tried to run SteamInstall.msi he looks ready to install for 1 second and then close and nothing happen. Even try to do once again nothing. So I gave up with it.

  Then I installed cod4, codwaw and download for both patches. When I try to install the patches it starts normal and after extractinng saying "" ".msi or msu or something it get stuck on the preparation for installation on both cod4, codwaw games and I think about others too... '".

  So I guess that's my Windows Installer problem... ? Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 (problems on SP1 also)

  Yoris,
  I think that if you had a problem with Windows Installer, then you would have also had a problem installing the games themselves.  If after installing just the game, you are able to start the game, then you will need to determine if you really need the patches you install.  If they fix game issues and do not add any content, then you may not even need of patches.  If it turns out that you do not have the patches and they are self extracting\installing files and then save them to your desktop and then right click and select run as administrator and see if that helps.  You can also check with Activision support , because this can be a problem they know.

• Problems with Windows Update after uninstalling SP2 (Vista Home Premium)

  Hello, everyone!

  Two days ago, I tried to install SP2 through my Windows Update. During the installation and then restart, it stopped on step 3 (0%), ignored and open Windows normally. But, I realized that I had totally lost Aero (I didn't even have the option in the window color and appearance), and also Windows Update constantly gave me the message that I always important updates - SP2 has not installed correctly (I rebooted the computer several times to try to resolve this problem, but everything remained the same: stop on step 3) ", running Windows, and once again the message that I've updated important). I searched in various forums, but could not solve the problem, so I decided to uninstall SP2 via Control Panel. But it doesn't let me do that - whenever I clicked on the button uninstall, it says that the installation is not finished yet. So, I tried the system restore, but whenever I clicked it, an error message (that I didn't understand at all) appeared. So, I went into safe mode and tried the system restore and it worked (Control Panel uninstall option does not in Mode safe either), and everything is back to SP1. But now I have problems with Windows Update - I get the error message 0 x 8007002 (and even 0 x 8007005 several times). I tried everything I could find in the forums (the thing with automated updates service does not because I don't have this option in Services), but nothing works. If anyone has any advice whatsoever, I would be really grateful for that, because I don't know what to do.

  For safety, I use NOD32 anti virus, Tall Emu Online Armor and ThreatFire.

  Thank you very much!

  Hi EvanaZgb,

  Follow these steps before installing Windows 7:

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

• Problem with Windows Update after the new installation of Windows 7 Pro the Lenovo ThinkPad X 200

  I'm trying to do a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro on a Lenovo ThinkPad X 200. The product key is easy to find on the sticker of the ThinkPad. However, the version of Windows is hidden (for example, I can't check that my ThinkPad had originally installed Windows 7 Pro). I was able to install by using a Pro Win 7 SP1 CD ROM I bought for another installation. I used the ThinkPad I was trying to make the new facility on the product key. I was able to activate the Windows 7 Pro using the phone call and my cell phone. I checked the activation! However, I have problems with Windows update. The product key may be a different version of Windows 7. If so, why did it install and activate OK? Y at - it a fix for this problem or I have to buy a new version of Windows 7 Pro? Please note that I have not yet installed all drivers Lenovo ThinkPad as I can't seem to install correctly. Thank you!

  Since the issue is updated to Windows, it is not a product number key.

  You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page. But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:

  How to reset the Windows Update components

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

  Suggest you download and save the Fixit. Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista/Windows 7

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

• Canon ImageCLASS MF4150 All - in - One Printer Driver problems with Windows 7

• A problem with Windows?

  I've upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate for free with the purchase of my laptop a few years ago. Recently, in about the last 4 months, my computer was turn off by itself without reason. He did this twice a week at least and is very irritating. It doesn't matter if it has been idle or if I use it. It just stops. It does not restart. When I reboot, I have to click on "start windows normally". So I thought maybe it was first a virus problem or spyware. However, I ran Norton and even contacted the support of Norton, who concluded that there is a problem with Windows.

  I don't know what to do or how to solve it. There is nothing else wrong with the computer and I can't afford to go out and get another laptop. But I work from home doing the transcript and cannot afford to keep loss of work when I'm in the middle of a file only to have my computer just close.

  Does anyone have any suggestions? Help? Please, I beg you! Thank you!

  This could be due to overheating.  To check, download SpeedFan http://www.download.com .  If the temperatures are below 50 degrees C, you're OK, if older than 65, that's your problem, between watching the bears.

  Good luck.
