SFC wants SP2 disk to repair, but I'm at SP3. Is this OK to use the disk?
Hello
When I do "sfc/scannow" I get the following message "Windows - files required for Windows File Protection is running properly have been replaced by unrecognized versions." To maintain system stability, Windows must restore the original versions of these files. Insert your Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 CD now".
I had to upgrade to Service Pack 3 to install MSE. As I understand it, once you have installed SP3, you can't restore the system to SP2. I just want someone to confirm that I really should put the Service Pack 2 CD.
Thank you!
Lol you should not put the SP2 CD.
I don "t know if you can to SP2 or not since I've never used the restoration of the system (except practice), but which would have been, you can Uninstall SP3 if you want, but you will lose all the features and benefits of the version of the Service Pack 3 + year, System Restore.
Now that your question is confirmed, what can you do about it?
Once you install SP3, all installation XP CD you have with older SPs are practically useless for sfc/scannow (by themselves).
The best option is that if you have a real XP bootable installation CD with a plu SP is to make a new installation CD that has SP3 'slipstreamed' into it, so what comes out the other end is a new installation of XP you create that will be integrated into SP3. You must already have a genuine XP bootable installation CD to do this.
What you end up with is a XP installation CD with SP3 integrated into it (and you can book your old version). Which will make happy sfc/scannow, sfc/scannow is not for fixing problems on a system. sfc/scannow is designed to run only once when you install XP to populate the folder dllcache with a list of 3498 system protected files which are backups in the case where a protected file come missing later on your system. That's what all this. It is not to solve problems, unless your problem is that your dllcache folder must be updated, or your problem is you have too much time and need to lose some of them.
While it gives a good "feeling" when sfc/scannow to runs without complaining (and you can make sure), it is unlikely address any questions you may have and are a great, frustrating waste of time (as you can see) - unless your question is trying to get the sfc/scannow to run without complaining.
If you run sfc/scannow to completion and you have all the pieces in place, it should find nothing to do.
However, even if you break your system on purpose and sfc/scannow is a file in the dllcache folder that needs to be replaced and replace it (it IS what it is), you will know about it since the only thing that you will see where the Observer newspaper is the following:
Event type: Information
Event source: Windows File Protection
Event category: no
Event ID: 64016
Analysis of file File Protection Windows has been started.
Event type: Information
Event source: Windows File Protection
Event category: no
Event ID: 64017
Windows File Protection file analysis completed successfully.
Even if sfc/scannow finds something to do, you will never know about it. It is not his goal. Its purpose is to populate the dllcache folder. In the above example, sfc/scannow replaced 2 files that I've damaged on purpose for a mission of training and test, but you won't see anything about it in the newspaper.
That's why running sfc/scannow again more than a waste of time. If he finds something to do, you don't know yet what he did.
If you don't have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, hope is not lost, but I'll let Microsoft support engineers who are hired by Microsoft experts help you with this part. I do not think that the Department of Education will tell you about "slipstreaming" either because they probably don't know how and there is no KB article for their link, in their response.
Here is a recent example of the MSE ineptitude and lack of understanding of the sfc/scannow (soon to be marked as the answer):
I have several times also offer my professional services to teach Microsoft how sfc/scannow technical support engineers work in the hope that they will not be there when they have no idea what is the problem with a system or how to fix it.
Sorry... I had to get that last shot - again.

Vista SP2 wants me to install KB947821, but it is already installed
Hello
Recently I tried to install vista SP2 without result, he gave me error code "SP1 must be installed", but he was already. To resolve this problem, I used the instillation of vista disc to upgrade my computer to vista, which corrects this problem. I then proceeded to the install SP2 and restarted my computer, resulting in a complete system failure and the inability to restart my computer. I tried to reinstall vista via the instillation CD and it did not work, so I had to delete all partitions including my internal backup and finally it has helped my computer install Vista from the outset.
Since then, I downloaded almost all the updates as well as on, KB947821 and tried to install SP2. Now, I get this error message when trying to install (after preparation of your computer room):
"An error system not service pack install. Please download and execution tool the "check IN" http://... "but I already did.I tried other things:
VLite removal: vLite did not exist
Start in selective mode: same mistake as mainPlease help, I would really have the SP2.

Which partition should I use to re - install Windows Vista? A partition is much smaller then the other.
Hello
you don't say how you are trying to reinstall vista
If you use a microsoft vista dvd you would normally select a CUSTOM installation that gives you the opportunity to see what partitiions are available, what size are they and what is currently installed on them etc.
It is then to you to delete the existing partition where vista is already installed and reinstall on the same partition or where you want to
We cannot see how your hard disk is configured
We can only give you general information on this subject
read the tutorial below well especially the steps below:
Now it's time to choose the installation type. Update or custom are the choice, but as you can see, in this case, Custom is the only option. There are two points to note. The first is under Customs where it says you can use this option to change the disks and partitions. This is true to a point. You can create and delete partitions and resize a partition using the command 'Extend '. The second thing to note is that if you want to 'Upgrade '. you need start the installation from Windows inside.
Once determined the type of installation, it's time to decide where to install Vista. As you can see on the screenshot options in this scenario are limited. There is a 20 GB hard drive and it is all unallocated space. If your intention is to return the entire disk in Vista with none of the additional partitions for other uses, all you have to do is click on disk 0, and then click the [next] button. The installation will continue.
etc.

I want to use the Camileo H20 as a webcam
Hello
I bought a Camileo H20 and I want to use it as a webcam.
Some of my friends use video cameras as webcam in tunner tv mode so I bought a tv tuner too because in my country you can't find this cable with usb port and input jack to connect it via USB.Can U tell me how I can see the image on the LCD on the camileo h20 when connected to a tv tunner?
I can see the image on the computer, but the screen remains blank.
Someone knows how to do?Another problem is that it is not so high definition such that it had to be.
You can see lots of channels on the screen, do you know why? Is this normal?
Is this because I use the tv tunner?
Can you help me please?I called toshiba in my country, and they won't help me.
Pls someone help me thank you in advanceHello
AFAIK the Camileo H20 cannot be used as a webcam. This feature is not available for this camcorder.
With regard to the channels on the screen.
I put t know exactly what you mean, but I recommend that you connect the camcorder directly to the TV and check the settings (60 Mhz NTSC or PAL 50 Mhz)
In addition, you can save the movie in 720 p HD and Full HD 1080 pMaybe you should check the Full HD mode with a higher resolution.
Last but not least the LCD screen of the camcorder does not appear when the Camielo is connected to an HDTV!

Sony vaio fw Series notebook PC hangs after complete recovery using the recovery disk
I have sony vaio fw notebook computer series. the problem is that a week ago my laptop keyboard did not work properly, his work of sttops not all but a few keys and I stop directly by using the power button / stop and then I turn it on after day and the computer started to freez. I though I could get rid of this by restoring the complete system and I did it by using the recovery disk that I created at the firrst time I've had this laptop. during the recovery process, my laptop crashes twice but in any case, I managed to do thanks to a system of complete restoration and after that when I turn on my laptop, then it worked fine for 10-15 minutes but after that it started to freeze up again. I had to stop it again using the button / stop and it happened about 5 - 10 times, after that I decided to do a full restore using the restore disc. as I was doing that the process is not complete because it crashes when I do this. Finally, I managed to do a full system restore after more than 10 + time and guess what it lights up then my laptop crashes completely. I can't open anything... mouse works very well but if tried click on any program then you can not click on it, please help what should I do now... p.s, my computer works fine in safe mode with networking, but in normal mode its completely freeze
