I had some trouble with my desktop to the end. in any case, I went to check what programs are installed by going to the "Add/Remove Programs" option of the control panel.
When I chose this option and scrolled down to Windows XP - Service Pack 3 - there is no information next to him and he said ' for support please go...» "(and it me linked to the Windows XP SP3 download center;) HOWEVER - when I check the properties of my computer by going to the menu 'Start', then go to 'My Computer', do a right click on it and looking at its properties - THEN it says "Windows XP Professional - Service Pack 3".So low line - I'm totally lost - how do I know if I really have SP3 for XP installed or not? and is there a danger for the download and the installation of SP3 for XP again? (or he stops the installation process and detect if I installed it already?)SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!Unless something happened during the installation, you should have SP3, if it shows it in the start menu, right-click on computer, properties, or that the other person said, start/run and type winver. You can try to reinstall, and it won't hurt anything it either, although he can come and tell you already have installed and do not reach.

SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 4 download but does not install.
Have tried several times to install the update, but it does not update. Don't know how to force an update.
Hi vintagejames,
· How long have you been experiencing this problem?
· You receive an error message?
· You install the update via windows update or manually?
I suggest you try the steps mentioned below and check if it helps.
Method 1: Try disabling the security software temporarily.
Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
Method 2: Try to install the stand-alone package manually. See the link for the last update:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913089
Kind regards

Service Pack 3 for Windows XP does not recognize that it is connected to the USB ports. I get a notice that something has been plugged, but Windows fails to recognize regardless of the question.
Disconnect all USB storage.
Run this tool by do right click and choose 'run as administrator '.
Of course, all first extract it:

If your XP is 32 bits, use the Win32 folder.
Reset.
If you still can't find the drive, assign it a drive letter in disk management.

AFTER YOU INSTALL SERVICE PACK 1 FOR WINDOWS VISTA, MY COMPUTER WILL NOT START SAYS UNATTENDED, DLL
Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.
Restore point:
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/
Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.
Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.
Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...
Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.
http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm
Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:
Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.
When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html
Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.
NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.
Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:
http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/
ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html
It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.
You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.
It is NOT a disc of resettlement.
And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
See you soon.

After you install service pack 2 for windows vista
After installing service pack 2 for windows vista on my HP laptop, I started having a few problems. First off the computer would not go beyond the Welcome screen because he showed that an update was the installation (step 1 of 3:0 % etc.) and the computer reboots before finish. It kept the case whenever I started upward, even on safe mode. I tried to restore, but it would never be completed and nothing else would work. Now I can't go beyond the microsoft loading screen because it shows a black flat screen with no cursor. I can't enter safe mode. Help, please. Safe mode only shows the start screen but won't start so I can't access the control panel and tried to boot to the last known successful startup but it failed.
