Newly installed Windows XP Home Edition SP1a Version 2002 works not properly.
I have a Dell Dimension 4300 S and I recently installed Windows XP Home Edition SP1a Version 2002 from the disc I have. When I try to download the SP2 and SP3 from Microsoft I get this box that says "extraction error." I can't download anything and sometimes, when I'm on the internet on this computer, it says "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" and I send error report and, sometimes gives me the blue screen and starts dumping memory. Also, it wont let me on the Windows Update page and the computer won't auto updates.
Does anyone know what is the problem? I reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition SP1a Version 2002 two or three times now and linked the repair disk, and I always get the same problems.Let me know if I have to give any specs or whatever it is.Love the help I'm getting here. :)

I upgraded my card mother cpu ram and hard drive. I reinstalled windows xp home edition has got all of the updates. After 9 latest updates download and installtion was going well until I rebooted the computer and go to page window showing all the icons that I get a blue screen and the computer restarts its self and does not stop. How can this be corrected?
Hi KevinRy,
Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!
Unplug all external devices.
Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.
Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:
1.
Right-click my computerand then click Properties.
2.
Click the Advanced tab.
3.
Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.
4.
Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.
5.
Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.
Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.
Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.
Kind regards

Repair shop wiped the hard drive and gave the wrong version of XP
I have an Acer Aspire one model ZG5, which came with XP home. While still under warranty, the pad has stopped working and would then start is more upward. I sent it in for repair, they wiped the hard drive and fixed my problems. Except, instead of reinstalling XP Home Edition, XP Professional installed. I can't use my computer without first professional activator, which I just can't do it, and I don't have a version of the House that I can install myself. I wouldn't rather to pirate a copy, but I'm not sure how to get a copy of the House, I already bought once and do not feel that I should buy it a second time. How could I go solve this?
Back to whom you have sent your computer for repair and request that they make good (on) copy of Windows back or give you a license key valid for the version that they installed.

Check that your antivirus (all-in-one suite If you have one) is not turn off your network traffic.
Note the devices installed in the machine. Use this information to download the latest version of the drivers and software for the manufacturer's Web site features (on another machine and store on an external support, I suppose, would be the only way for you to do.)
Uninstall the software/drivers for network devices. Turn it back on. Even if pilots are found/installed automatically, manually update the drivers & software using the files you downloaded earlier.
Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:
Remove anything they find. Reboot when necessary. (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

Reformat the hard drive and a clean reinstall of Vista
Hello
I was wondering if you could advise me if this is possible.
I have Vista on a partition, a home machine built dual boot (with XP), who begins to fill. I decided to stop using XP, whichis sitting on the second partition of the hard drive, and I want to reformat the disk and a partition with Vista on it. Taking into
mind, I'm not bothered about losing all the data and save nothing, in my opinion, I don't want to lose, can I just reformat the hard disk into a single
Partition and reinstall Vista? I'm sure that the answer is Yes, but my main concern is to ensure my "serial key" is accepted and that the activation
process will go smoothly. Read other messages I prefer not to use Vista to reduce the size of the XP partition and prefer to make one
clean install.
Your help and feedback will be greatly appreciated.On Thu, September 16, 2010 08:40:58 + 0000, rainb0wman wrote:

Yes. Do a clean install of Vista and leave this formatting occur
the first stage of the installation.aI'm sure that the answer is Yes, but my main concern is to ensure my "serial key".
You mean the product key, not series.
is accepted and that the activation

No problem. Worst case, if it's some time since the last
activation, you may need to activate by phone call, but it's
quick and easy.Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP

Format the hard drive and reinstall XP
Hi - my old Insprion I8200 had more slower over the years. So I want to do a full format of the hard drive and reinstall Windows XP. I understand that this will destroy all my data, that is not a problem.
I have the Dell operating system reinstallation CD and the instructions tell me that when I boot from the CD, there will be two options: Windows repair or reinstall Windows. I intend to use the option of resettlement, but I want to make sure that this option is likely to reformat the hard disk, before it reinstalls Windows.
Can there, someone confirm please?
