Problems of the sp1 update to sp3. While trying to install sp1a, I get a message "the server is not responding.

IM currently under xp pro sp1. I want to upgrade to sp3, and I read that before the update to sp3, you have sp1a or sp2 (obviously not available). while trying to install sp1a, I get a message "server not responding" and then he directs me to go to the microsoft site to download a version of the file that does not use my internet connection. I can't find this file anywhere. My question is #1 I'm even doing this right? and anyway to update without having to download sp1a first?  IM this operating system running on an ibm thinkpad. I know its outdated and will be a bit slow though, my reason to update to sp3 should be more compatible with the newer programs that won't let me download with sp1. Thanks for any help in advance.

See my response to this thread--> http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_install/windows-xp-service-pack-1a-server-not-contactable/72a91455-7814-4d05-817c-52a4fbff0d8d

There is a much more important reason to install sp3 ' to be more compatible with the newer programs.  If you have been online since August 2004 with Windows XP service pack 1 or more (when sp2 is released), the chances are high that your system is compromised (one of the reasons why he is "a bit slow").

You might seriously consider a "clean install" of Windows with whatever you have and then recovery media immediately this update to sp3.  If you do this AND your recovery mechanism restores Norton or McAfee trial ware, after you make initial/reinstall recovery and before you install sp3, follow the advice of MS MVP PA Bear below:

VERY IMPORTANT! => Any Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You need TO uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the appropriate removal BEFORE tool to install updates, the Windows Service Packs, or updates of IE AND BEFORE installing your new antivirus application (for example, Microsoft Security Essentials - free).

  • Windows SP1 - "the server has not responded.

    Hello!

    I perform a clean installation on the machine of my old mother. In fact, service of the only operation I can install is Windows XP Pro. I downloaded the sp1aexpress_usa.exe file to automatically perform the update.

    After a few checks performed by the program, he prepared to download the Service Pack 1 files. A few seconds/minutes later, the following error message appears: "the server has not responded.

    I spent nearly 3 hours to dig the web to see if I can download SP1 from somewhere within Microsoft, without a bit of luck. Is it possible to upgrade correctly from this machine to SP1 - SP2 - SP3 and thus now or should I format the computer once more and try an operating system open source?

    SP1 (SP1a) is totally useless. All you need to do is to install SP2 and SP3. For more details:

  • While trying to install SP1a for Windows XP, the error is the following: server has not responded (Windows XP SP1a).

    Hello

    Recently, I reformatted and reinstalled windows XP on my old laptop. Looking to obtain service packs for it, I read that you need to start with SP1a... I did some research autour and many people are having the same problem, but nobody responded to the real problem. According to Microsoft, I install SP1a to install any other. The error is as follows: the server did not respond. If the server has been taken down or refuses connections. My internet connection remained active all attempts to access the server.
    Unless the information is wrong on the website, installation of SP3 won't fix it. All responses I've seen to this problem have been installing something you can't until you install first.
    Here is the link, in that it tries to connect:

    You should be able to download the Service Packs as a standalone installer at the following addresses:

    If you can not download to your computer, then use another machine to download the installation file and move it to your computer.

    You don't need to install SP1A.  XP Gold, you must install SP1A or SP2 before installing SP3.  I recommend that you start with SP2 and then SP3.

    Were you recently doing a Clean Install? I ask because you are implying in your installation of Windows XP is in 'gold' or SP0 (i.e., pre - SP1) level. Well sure, automatic updates will not work!
    You can use this path to level – says in passing:
    Gold XP to XP SP2 to XP SP3.
    Note that installing SP1a is TOTALLY USELESS!
    Here are the detailed instructions:

    1. download the installation of SP2, SP3 and IE8 files. I prefer to keep these on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links to all the installation of three files:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=28 (for SP2)

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)

    And if you wish, download the Setup file of a good anti-virus program. I recommend Avira free Antivirus:

    http://www.Avira.com/en/Avira-free-antivirus

    2. disconnect Internet.

    3. temporarily disable the automatic updates.

    4. install SP2. Reset.

    5 install the SP3. Reset.

    6 switch to IE8. Restart TWICE.

    7 install an Antivirus software.

    (What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

    8 make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should be).

    (Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet.)

    9 visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates.

    10 re - enable automatic updates.

    HELP, trying to install Illustrator but get this message that I need to download "Adobe Support Advisor" when I go on the site, I see that it has been abandoned, what should I do now? got trapped in the labyrinth HELP HELP!

    Hi Joseeyk67276640,

    'Download Support Advisor' is a generic error, and we need to understand what is causing the problem. Most of the time, its a problem with the download was not successful or downloaded correctly. So, in this case, re-download the software and do not forget to compare the file size of the file downloaded with the file on the server.  From the following link, please download the version of Illustrator, you need: other downloads

    Allows you to check in this case as well and make sure that the download is complete, if the size of the file is correct, to the install.log file.

    Navigate in the log files in one of the following folder:

    Mac OS: / Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers /.

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe\Installers\

    The name of the log file includes the name of the product and installation date, followed of ".". log.gz."the .gz extension indicates a compressed format.

    You can use a utility to extract the 7z or gz to unzip.

    Once unzipped, the log file is a text file, open the .log using TextEdit (Mac OS) and notebook (OS Win)

    Scroll to the bottom of the log. Look in the section - summary - for lines that begin with ERROR or FATAL and signals a failure during the installation process.

    Copy and paste this section SUMMARIZED here so that we can check for errors. Alternatively, you can analyze the logs yourself. http://helpx.Adobe.com/Creative-Suite/KB/troubleshoot-install-logs-CS5-CS5.html

  • When I try to install SP1a, I get a message saying that the file is corrupted.

    Need help, Im confused

    OK, so I have windows XP I am trying to install on my acer aspire 5100. Its an old copy that came with another computer. All I'm trying to do is to clean the computer clean and start over. Installation was successful, but when I try to install SP1a I get a message saying that the file is corrupted. I can't connect to the internet of him because the surrent version doesn't support WPA2. So im downloading on an external HD and try to run it from my computer. When you try to install SP2, it says that the file is not a valid Win32 application. Any help / ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

    Again, your best option is to order a set of Acer recovery disks.

    If you insist on doing things the way hard, then check first that download, you have to SP2 (you don't need SP1a because it is part of the SP2) is correct - check the hash of the file downloaded against one published (where you downloaded of?)

    If the hash is correct and then try running SFC/scannow from a command prompt - it may work, depending on how the software manufacturer set up the drive, but it is preferable to use in conjunction with a good OS disc, rather than the recovery disk.

  • Windows XP SP1 installs because the server is not responding

    My wife has just died so I used the restore cd provided with his old office xp emachines to get rid of all the files to give to his grandson directed.

    Today, however it will be not updated. I tried to install SP1a that fails because the server does not and SP2 that s just a txt file.

    Anyone got any ideas how I can go back to SP3 on the computer?

    It is 32-bit and is not too powerful but BIF run before SP3

    My condolences.

    If the restore CD you have to sp1, you need not sp1a or sp2.  You can go directly to sp3.  SP1a is the same as sp1, but the removal of the "Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (JVM from MS).  Microsoft released XP sp1a as part of a settlement with Sun Microsystems patent infringement (then owner of Java).

  • Acrobat Pro DC and 365 customers shared SharePoint insiders, but the server does not not to the evaluators

    The basics:

    Windows 7 (64-bit)

    Acrobat Pro DC (to organize shared reviews)

    SharePoint Office 365 (to accommodate the shared review)

    Acrobat Pro XI (for customers who try to read shared review)

    I've implemented a subweb on our server SharePoint 365 following all the instructions provided in this article:

    Accommodation of the shared reviews on sites SharePoint or Office 365 with Acrobat

    My colleagues receive permissions change for the SharePoint site, subsite, and a document library dedicated "SharedView."

    I opened a PDF file for shared review using Acrobat Pro DC and invited two colleagues to review; time with a link and once with an attachment.

    I am able to add comments to the file and discovered the Tracker review, get updates, etc, and everything seems to work properly. The server status is 'green '.

    However, when my colleagues try to access the files, they get a response that the server is not responding.

    "Could not get new comments. Acrobat received no response from the server. Try again later or contact your system administrator. »

    With the accessory, they can open and add comments, but cannot post comments to the server. When I check the State I don't see that they have accepted the review.

    I was not able to reason on what else could interfere with their access to the SharedReview server. I noticed that they seem to only have Acrobat Pro XI and not only Adobe Reader. I don't think that would be a problem, as the only drive should be enough.

    What other diagnoses is available for this process?

    I wanted to report that I was able to implement a reviewer with Adobe Reader DC (free version) and using Acrobat Pro DC undertook a review via SharePoint 365, invite them. It was done through link, not an attachment.

    They were able to open control file, see comments, I had already added, made their own observations and posted comments. Mind you, this is a test that is very limited by two users and a few comments. But even if it does not before.

    I don't have a notification in my tracker, I had to open directly and look for open comments. Then I was able to open the file the comments Get command and voila another evaluator's comments were incorporated as well as mine. It worked!

    I think the handshakes and signs are suspect, notifications do not work properly, but we can work around that.

    So it seems that all participants in Adobe Acrobat shared comments via SharePoint 365, must use a version of "DC" of Acrobat or Reader. Acrobat Pro DC to initiate, CD, to contribute to the review.

    This is a problem for all our reviewers on Abobe Reader DC (few have administrator rights), but at least she is promising to work in a limited test.
