Service Pack 1 Setup error. -The server has failed

original title: Service Pack 1 Setup error. Windows XP Home 32 bit

The following occurred during the installation of Service Pack 1a tried to download files from the service pack 1 on the internet:

The server did not respond.

This happened again and again I clicked retry. The program tries to connect to http://xpSP1.microsoft.com/isapi/pstream3.dll/xp/SP1.USA.1106a

I also followed the links he is said to take on the web page of the service pack for installation troubleshooting. I am only given a choice to restore the default settings on the automatic updates. I have not automatically updated.

You try to update a system restore which is now Windows XP 'Or' (without service pack)?

If so, please read the tips following long-standing MS MVP PA Bear.

If this isn't the case, please explain what you are trying to do.

Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything in the list below, in order, before connecting the machine to the internet or a local network (i.e. other computers) and before you plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external computer diskotherwise:

  1. Make sure that the Windows Firewall is enabled.
  2. Uninstall any moment invalid Norton, McAfee, etc., free version of test which was also reinstalled, run the appropriate removal tool (see below), and then install an application antivirus of your choice (for example, http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/default.aspxMicrosoft Security Essentials- free).
  3. Arrival to Windows Update & get the computer fully patched.
  4. Install Windows Defender [Editor's Note: obsolete; do not install] or another anti-spyware application that integrates a real-time protection.

TIP: Use another and negative computer to download programs for, for example, SP2 or SP3 installation, the installer for your new anti-virus application and or other removal tools cited below. Transfer these files to CD or DVD (not a flash drive) and then transfer the files of the CD or DVD on the desktop of the computer you are using.

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).

  • Cannot install on XP Pro SP3: "Service Pack 3 Setup error - the system cannot find the file specified."

    I am trying to install SP3 on my XP Pro.  I get a notice on my screen, stating: "Service Pack 3 Setup error - the system cannot find the file specified."  Don't know what I'd do.  Thank you.  Peter glass

    That's good news. I think you also need to analyze of rootkits being on the right side. So, now:

    Search for rootkits with a program SPECIALLY designed to detect and remove the (aswMBR):

    Download this file to your desktop. Double-click the icon to run the program. When the opportunity to download and install the latest Avast definitions do.
    Run a scan. Results in red indicate that this was not a false positive! Do you need to remove the rootkit (including "FixMBR" if necessary).

    And finally, leave your PC on overnight and search for viruses, using this site:
    Once we are convinced that your PC is clean, here are my instructions (just in case where you still cannot run batch of Geek-Tech file, etc.):

    1. download the installation of SP3 and IE8 (beforehand) files. I prefer to keep these (and other useful files) on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links for the installation files:

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

    (You can TOTALLY ignore the message "intended for it professionals"!)

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

    (You need to install IE8 AFTER SP3! Trust in me.)

    IMPORTANT NOTE!

    It is VERY important to ensure that Internet Explorer is at the level IE6 before installing SP3. In case you have IE7 or IE8, you must uninstall it / them, using the Control Panel Add / Remove programs. Let us know if you need assistance with this.

    Once again:

    Make sure that IE is IE6 level before installing SP3. You can go directly from IE6 to IE8 after SP3 has been installed.

    2. disconnect Internet. Also unplug all unnecessary devices.

    3. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:

    Start | Control Panel (switch to Classic view if not already selected). Automatic updates

    4 set up a clean boot. The last thing you need is for a program that runs in the background to interfere with these updates! (It happens!) For more information:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

    (Note that this is the same as setting up a "Diagnostic boot.")

    Reset.

    5 install the SP3. Restart TWICE.

    6 switch to IE8. Restart TWICE.

    (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).

    7 unscrew the clean boot. (That is, return to the Normal startup).

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

    Start | Control Panel | Security Center

    9 visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.

    Make sure that you can access your e-mail via webmail, if you have this option to ensure that it is not a problem on the server.  Then locate the antivirus interference and ensure that the analysis of the electronic mail is disabled (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).  Try to remove your e-mail account and then close OE and then add it back again and then see if it works.

    Thank you, Karen

    At first glance, it seems that a few things wrong with the settings you have for a server outgoing (SMTP). I think that Westphalia broadband uses mail.4wbi.net as the incoming and outgoing mail server, not pop.4wbi.com (note mail instead of pop ) and .net instead of .com. These are the servers listed in this article:

    I'm not ensure that these settings are correct. Rather I suggest to find the page to set up your own mail server and use the parameters described in this.

    Hello

    Your ISP, who runs the mail server, can provide port numbers and other settings. Pages of help/support of the ISP may have this information easily accessible.

    The other common cause of error 0 x 800 is safety programs - an antivirus program scans incoming or outgoing e-mail, or a Firewall interferes with authentication.

    I guess that your problem is with the reception, because the error message you have provided relates to the reception.
    Ports 25 and 587 do not affect receive it, because they are for the shipment.

    The error message is difficult to assess because you x'd, one part of the name of the server. Perhaps the error is in the part "xxxxxxxx" to the name of the server.

    I've been out of town for a few days. I was using a public Wi - Fi connection to my laptop. The first part of the week worked fine, but now using the same wireless connection, I receive the following error message. Has happened since yesterday afternoon 03/10/08 and today is 05/10/08. What is the problem? Help, please!

    The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mail.charter.net', server: 'mail.charter.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, secure (SSL): Yes, Socket error: 10060, error number: 0x800CCC0E

    From: Gary van

    In Windows Mail, go to the tolls, accounts, select the account mail.charter.net, properties, advanced. Change the port number for the incoming (POP3) server from 995 to 110. Make sure that the adjacent SSL option is not checked. Click OK.

    As a general rule, the owner of the SMTP server must be the same that provides your Internet connection at the moment.

    The workarounds available when sending abroad are the following:

    1. use webmail to send (via your browser).
    2. ask your ISP if they have one port other than '25' for SMTP. I do not think that
    Charter of fact. Cable companies are very difficult to accommodate travellers.
    3. If you frequently use the same connection away from home, replace the SMTP Protocol
    Server in this respect. It's a little tricky, but if you want to go this route.
    I can provide more details.
    4. If you frequently send to multiple locations, get a free Gmail account,
    Configure it to POP access and use for your shipment of household chores.
    Gmail uses port 465 for SMTP, which is not blocked as is port 25.

    "Crash" is usually caused by interference from a non compatible anti-virus program. What antivirus do you use? At a minimum, email, scanning in the antivirus must be disabled, but maybe it's not enough to eliminate all the bad effects. In the worst case scenario, your antivirus may need to be uninstalled.

    If disable your antivirus e-mail analysis feature does not solve your problem, consider upgrading to Windows Live Mail, because it is less sensitive to the suffering of the ill effects of too intrusive antivirus programs: http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview

    E-mail analysis in any antivirus must be disabled, for the reasons explained here:
