Questions about the upgrade to Service Pack 3.

I want to install visual studio 2010 on my windows xp sp2 computer. But during the installation, we recommend that I needed sp3 to move forward. Is it possible if I get the windows xp disk that contains windows xp sp3 and upgrade my computer to sp3. Because the size of the service pack is huge in size in the microsoft Web site. I just want to know if I can upgrade my computer to sp3 using a disc of windows xp sp3.

Hi Roland, Mathurin

With the help of CD which has Windows XP with SP3 integrated must be in a clean install and this results in the loss of data and applications.

The recommended way to upgrade your computer to SP3 therefore you download SP 3 and install or use a CD that has SP3 standalone.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Kind regards

  • A few questions about the upgrade on Satellite A300-144

    Sorry for the typos, English is not my mother tongue.
    I want to ask some questions about the upgrade of a300-144.

    * Some info first.*

    CPU: T2370 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/34445/Intel-Pentium-Processor-T2370-1M-Cache-1_73-GHz-533-MHz-FSB]).
    Chipset: GM965 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/29821/Intel-82GM965-Graphics-and-Memory-Controller]).

    * Questions.*

    1. my frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

    2 Intel said that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?

    3 I know, taken of my CPU is μFCPGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB]) is a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

    The speed of the memory is related on the material. This means that the FSB is responsible for the limitation.
    If the FSB would allow support 667 MHz then the memory would also at this speed.

    > 2. Intel says that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?
    The memory depends on the chipset. So if the chipset supports 4 GB of RAM, you should be capable of this move to 4 GB of RAM

    > 3. I know, my CPU is? FC-PGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 (http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB) will be a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

    It might be possible that the new processor would be fully supported by the BIOS, but in most cases it should not be a problem if the chipset would support the new processor.
    But as far as I know the upgrade of the CPU is not supported by Toshiba or any other manufacturers of portable and its your own risk to run laptop with the new processor.

  • Question about the OSB proxy service

    Hello

    I'm new to the world of SOA/OSB. I'm working on a POC from the OSB for our existing application. I have a question about the definition of the URL endpoint to the proxy service. It is possible to specify a generic url endpoint to a proxy service. Something like / SomeService / *. I tried and got errors. Is it possible to do somethig like that or it is a mistake on a conceptual level.

    Thank you

    anything you type in the uri of the endpoint of entry will be the contextroot to your service, so /SomeService should indeed be sufficient or as mentioned Pierluigi/SomeService/blabla is also valid (Betty is not a parameter query, but only a part of the contextroot)

    If you want to use a service like http rest

    / SomeService/blabla would still be the contextroot, and after that, you can use the query parameters

    / SomeService/badarou? var1 = test & var2 = test or/SomeService/blabla/employee/id/1

    3 when I do an upgrade must I pay online for the new version?

    answers very short wil suffice.

    Thank you

    Johan

    1. your files should be kept in an upgrade, but we always recommend making a backup to be sure.

    2. your software will be kept, but as with #1 above, we recommend to always have your install CD/file available to be safe in case you need it.

    3. you can buy the edition of Windows 8 Upgrade from a store or online, Yes. It is not free.

  • When is MS stop support Vista service pact 2 and a few questions about the upgrade to the new version

    Hello comrades,.

    I have a few questions and concerns, and hope that you guys can share with me some lights here.

    1. What is MS stop supports the Covenant of service about the update of windows Vista 2 / other online support?

    2. my computer is vista based 32 bit, ultimate version. I heard that there are a lot of wonderful things about Windows 8. Should I move to Windows 8, or should I actually wait awhile then buy a new computer with Windows 8 64 bit attached?

    Honestly, it's a question that has been bothering me for some time. But my laptop is 4 GB of RAM, 1920 x 1080 HD display, 300 GB HARD drive at 5400 RPM (cost me a lot - it's a SONY) and have been works very well even with vista, the operating system highly complainted by many others. I think it would be a waste to buy a new computer, including the so-called net-books and i - PAD, I know, they are beautiful and sexy, but looking at their record, I was speechless. Yet knowing 32bits was maximum and MS has already announced that they stopped support for Vista SP1, consider that SP2 is expected online.

    3. how long do you 32-bit based can last? Should I increase the RAM of 4 GB to 6 GB and upgrade to Windows 8?

    4. How about 64-bit based of the future? Or is it true that most of the computer manufacturing starts in the future these application device of the base (not the real computer-driven software)?

    5. or should I forget it all, wait 3-4 years, until my laptop would be a museum piece, then buy a desktop computer which monitor and hard drive is all separated, knowing it is the best technique for the $s and phone for mobile computing laptop use there?

    I understand that this is somewhat a personal decision, but I really appreciate you guys Preview on the path of the operating system! Thank you

    Yes it will work to buy a copy upgrade of Windows 8.   This is a custom installation rather than an upgrade in place once you switch between 32-bit and 64-bit.  However you can still save money by buying the upgrade license.

    More important is that all the drivers you need will be available.  Your computer manufacturer will not write drivers for Windows 8 because the computer has been out of production far too long.

    Windows 8 is a significant departure from previous versions and I suggest that you upgrade to Windows 7 If you are tired of Vista or wait until you buy a new computer before Windows 8.  You read the discussions on the forums of Windows 8 CP.  At this point, there are many critics of Windows 8 due to the removal of the Start button and Start Menu.  Many people dislike having to rely on style Metro Screen start for many things.  It is becoming a major concern.

    To navigate to the Windows 8 CP forums use in the middle of the dropdown at the top of this forum page.

    Note:  Microsoft has not announced that there will be copies upgrade for Windows 8.  Microsoft has already stopped providing copies of upgrade of Office is not yet clear what will be available for 8.

  • Questions about the upgrade from 4.1 to 5.1

    I posted the following to the thread in the forum of Vsphere upgrade, and in five days I got ZERO responses. Perhaps more here and even here is the wrong place to post things, or maybe I'm not questions easily answer. I'll post it here too, since it mainly Virtual Center, I think. Maybe someone can help me or tell me what is the problem with my announcement that allows to go unanswered. Here we go:

    I'm about to upgrade my little (1 4 host ESX and Virtual Center) environment vSphere 4.1 and 5.1.  My database to the virtual Center lives on a separate SQL server 2008R2 server. My virtual Center Server is virtual, if that matters. I have upgraded my licenses and read the documentation, to try to formulate a plan that escapes enough causing any downtime for my virtual machines.

    I am designing a series of steps that are all pretty low, and such that each step does not harm anything, whereas if I have problems, I can take my time to solve. Then, when this step is stable, I can continue to the next step. I want to tell you what I have in mind, ask a question here and there and hope you can report errors that I make and answer my questions. The big picture is:

    1 Virtual Center update and give him a few days to show me any problem before doing anything else.

    2. upgrade to a host ESX 4.1 5.1 ESXi. Convince me things are okay, before you do more.

    3. put to level the other three 4.1 ESX hosts. Make sure that everything is fine.

    4 create new LUNS, formatted with the new VMFS, move my VM to them and remove the old one.

    If there is nothing wrong with this basic plan, please let me know.

    More details and questions:

    Question: The docs say my Virtual Center Server, under the SSO, the inventory service and the virtual Center Server, will need TEN GIGABYTES of RAM.  Is this true? It seems insane to me.

    Question: Can I install on my Virtual Server 4.1 single signon Center without DANGER?  In other words, its installation will prevent Server 4.1 virtual work center? I hope I can, because it is a new feature that I have trouble with. I don't want to get into a situation where my old virtual server Center does not work, and I can't get the new work.

    Question: The VI 4.1 client can talk to Virtual Center 5.1? The VI Client 5.1 can talk to Virtual Center 4.1? I hope that the answer to one of the people is 'yes '.

    Step 1: Create a backup of my virtual Center VM (with vRanger connection, if this is important) and a backup of my SQL database.

    Step 2: Install single Signon. Here is where I hope that this does not stop 4.1 virtual work center.

    Step 3: Upgrade the inventory Service and Virtual Center to 5.1

    Step 4: Install VI Client 5.1 on the VM virtual Center and on my desk from which I usually manage my environment.

    Step 5: Wait I'm comfortable that everything is fine. It is perhaps a day or two (or more).

    Question: How can I spend my hosts for maximum security? I'd rather put a DVD in the drive and do it from the console, unless this is not a good way.

    Question: Before I update a host, should I remove the fiber channel cables, so he can't see my VMFS LUNS? I think I read that somewhere, and it sounds like a good thing to do, even if I do not have.

    Step 6: Upgrade a host ESX 4.1 5.1 ESXi. Move a couple of virtual machines essential to it and he give a day or two to settle.

    Step 7: Upgrade the other three ESX host.

    Step 8: Wait until I'm really, really comfortable with things.

    Step 9: Create a new LUN VMFS5, migrate my VMs to them over time and remove the old one.

    I would greatly appreciate all advice and attention that you may have.

    Question: The docs say my Virtual Center Server, under the SSO, the inventory service and the virtual Center Server, will need TEN GIGABYTES of RAM.  Is this true? It seems insane to me.

    If your environment is small you can run all these in one and ofcouse if you execute all these in a server you need more RAM... There is no limit.

    Question: Can I install on my Virtual Server 4.1 single signon Center without DANGER?  In other words, its installation will prevent Server 4.1 virtual work center? I hope I can, because it is a new feature that I have trouble with. I don't want to get into a situation where my old virtual server Center does not work, and I can't get the new work.

    normally if you think only in terms of scalability, it is good to have separate these things... He is sure no questions evey thing won't work if you install it on the same server also.

    Question: The VI 4.1 client can talk to Virtual Center 5.1? The VI Client 5.1 can talk to Virtual Center 4.1? I hope that the answer to one of the people is 'yes '.

    The VI 4.1 client can talk to Virtual Center 5.1? No, but talk about Client 5.1 Virtual Center 4.1

    Step 1: Create a backup of my virtual Center VM (with vRanger connection, if this is important) and a backup of my SQL database.

    Step 2: Install single Signon. Here is where I hope that this does not stop 4.1 virtual work center.

    Step 3: Upgrade the inventory Service and Virtual Center to 5.1

    Step 4: Install VI Client 5.1 on the VM virtual Center and on my desk from which I usually manage my environment.

    Step 5: Wait I'm comfortable that everything is fine. It is perhaps a day or two (or more).

    these steps are ok

    Question: How can I spend my hosts for maximum security? I'd rather put a DVD in the drive and do it from the console, unless this is not a good way.

    BLI, or DRAC suites method what ever you... very well.

    Question: Before I update a host, should I remove the fiber channel cables, so he can't see my VMFS LUNS? I think I read that somewhere, and it sounds like a good thing to do, even if I do not have.

    Installing esxi will not hurt of thing... to the old VMFS... It will ask to keep or to format the old vMFS... BUT I prefer to remove the cables... BECAUSE we are humans...

    Step 6: Upgrade a host ESX 4.1 5.1 ESXi. Move a couple of virtual machines essential to it and he give a day or two to settle.

    no need... . If the hardware is on the HCL, I mean the firmware/driver etc... for the esx is on the HCL, then no problem...

    Step 7: Upgrade the other three ESX host.

    Step 8: Wait until I'm really, really comfortable with things.

    Step 9: Create a new LUN VMFS5, migrate my VMs to them over time and remove the old one.

    assign the new LUN and create VMFS and migrate... It'S her!

  • System do not hibernate after the upgrade to service pack 2.

    Power supply problem

    I have just upgraded to Vista service pack 2 and now cannot be said to my laptop Toshiba to Hibernate. I followed the instructions to turn on hybrid sleep help, but when I am developing sleep in advanced settings, there is no option to allow hybrid sleep. Any help would be welcome.

    Kind regards

    Keith

    It may be the fault of the SP2...

    Remember, AFTER installing SP2, you did a disk cleanup?

    If so, you might have deleted the file hibernation during the disk cleanup routine.

    Use this tutorial to re-enable the hibernation:

    * Method One is to enable the hibernation.

  • Questions about the upgrade to the 4.0 unit

    Hi all

    I have a few questions before the server upgrade to 4.0 to 3.1.3 and install a new Server 4.0. We currently have 7 servers unit all current 3.1.3 running with digital networks. We are planning to upgrade a Server 4.0 and install a new server with 4.0 costs. This is the beginning of the upgrade of the entire company and my questions are the following:

    1 will update the AD schema during the installation/upgrade to 4.0 problems with the 3.1.3 other servers?

    2 since there isn't that one account of the unit currently with the 3.1.3 configuration, creating 4 new accounts unit cause any problem or should I / can I use the current to the unityadmin the unit account or one of the other 3 new accounts? I would like to start over again with 4 new accounts and not use the current service account and migrate to new accounts during the upgrade other servers.

    3. is there a problem to have 3.1.3 servers running jointly with 4.0 servers in general?

    My impression is that this is very well that I would no problem to start the 3.1.3 servers alongside with 4.0 servers, there should be no problem to use new accounts of the unit and this update of the AD schema should not be a problem for the old servers, but I want to make sure before doing the update/install.

    Oh, it's all run with Exchange 2000.

    Thanks for your time!

    Keith

    (1) it is backward compatible

    (2) creation of 4 new accounts will be fine.

    (3) you can run 3.1 (x) alongside with 4.x

  • Suggestions and Questions about the upgrade my Hardrive Mac and Ram.

    Hi This is my first time asking something in the forums. (At least I think) Well anyway, I got the Macbook Pro Mid 2012 13 "with the retina also runs the OS El captain. I do computer for school and sometimes animation video editing and ive noticed some performance as my projects get bigger and bigger issues. I want to improve my mac, but I'm not very tech savy and don't want to do something useless, so I had a few questions, I wanted to ask you.

    Do I need for my hard drive and my Ram?

    What effect will the upgrade of my Ram and what effect will be upgrading my hard drive with an SSD?

    I saw this SSD online and thought of novice opion that sounds get Id more bang for my buck (link) with her. Is this good? What more to kill? WiIll it still works? Could you suggest some other good affordable options?

    My next question if I decide to upgrade my Ram can provide you with some good affordable links to buy of new RAM sticks, is also 8 GB, the best he can do?

    My next question I watched a few videos online and by installing the updates level looks really easy and fast. But I use bootcamp (to play games sometimes), and I wanted to know if I save my files on my drive as ive seen people do videos, (something to wipe the drive and put it back in after installing updates) will be I lose my windows 7, I lost the disc to reinstall and he check so I really want to buy a new also do not want to lose the things I put in memory.

    From the retina MacBooks you is impossible to pass the ram as it is soldered to the logic board. As with the hard drive, it's just a card ssd and you can't get those anywhere because their hard to find.

  • Question about the NTS Authentication Service

    Hello

    By reading some Oracle related articles on the web, I found the following:

    >
    NTS Authentication Service should be disabled in a default installation.

    These latest versions of Oracle have SQLNET Authentication Services, but most of the time (especially but not only with personal Oracle), these services are not installed. However, the Oracle installer allows their use. There is a bug in the installer of Oracle.

    In the text gross sqlnet.ora file (located in the same directory as the TNSNAMES file. ORA, i.e. ORACLE_HOME\net80\admin or ORACLE_HOME\network\admin), you can find the following line:
    SQLNET. AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)

    Delete this line or to precede a comment sign, so that it read like this:

    # SQLNET. AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)

    Save this file. You may have to restart Oracle if it runs on the same computer. The whole machine reboot may take longer, but it is easier to do.

    Please NOTE: there may be facilities Oracle where the NTS Authentication Service is needed. But for these facilities, you can expect that the local administrator of Oracle knows that it is required.
    >

    The question is: How can I determine if NTS authentication service is really necessary?

    Thank you for your help,

    John.

    John,

    The NTS service is used in windows environments to the Sys user authentication based on o/s level authentication. So if you are not ready to provide the password for the Sys user, each time, you must set it. This is normally not with fear of a person to connect without using the password and if I remember correctly, the authentication of the o/s don't get verified with the audit standard.

  • Questions about the upgrade to vSphere Essentials

    My group is looking to upgrade our ESXi (free) installation to vSphere Essentials. Before do us, I have a few questions (I tried calling & commercial VMWare email, but no one seems to be there):

    1. We have an existing ESXi to install, and we'll add a 2nd machine to host VMs can I use vCenter (from Essentials) to manage two computers?

    2. Requirements for vCenter status she has 2 CPUs, 4 GB of memory and 3 GB of disk space for up to 50 guests. However, we have 2 guests and we add a 3rd host is far in the future (in years). Can we run vCenter on an existing installation of windows server 2003? We have a server that meets these requirements, but it also makes other tasks (some calculations, files and backup service). Given these lighter constraints, will that be enough to manage our two hosts?

    Memory is a problem I think. But my vCenter with 9 guests and 150 VM a average 2-5% CPU load with 1 quad Xeon, so don't worry is not the CPU.

    Local Oracle DB installed on the machine of vCenter.
