  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

  3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
  4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
  5. click on OK.
  6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
  7. after starting the computer, install the update.

  Hello

  You use the editions of Office before on your system?

  This can occur if you have installed all editions of Office before on your system.

  As you use Office editions, you can hide these updates and check if that helps:

  a. open Windows Update by clicking the Start button, clicking all programs, and then clicking Windows Update.

  b. click on view available updates , and then click on hide update.

  If you want to remove the installed office updates, then remove the updates and change the parameter in advising me on updates, so that you can hide these updates.

  Hello kamal

  Please don t be crazy about me, but it's the right question for the forum of Microsoft. You didn t write which laptop model you have. Is this laptop plu or perhaps newer?

  Sorry, but without any laptop concrete and description of the problem, you should try the Forum of Microsoft. Maybe the forum users that Microsoft OS will be much better understood your problem.

  Good bye

• XP - cannot install Service Pack 2 and 3 in order to install anti-virus protection.

  I need to install Service Pack 2 and 3, in order to install a virus program.  I currently do not have one, as my Norton Antivirus program should be uninstalled.  I can't get the Windows Update page to download.  Is there another way to get to this download?  I want to get do it as fast as possible, as I am currently without any virus/spyware protection.

  Thank you!!

  If SP2 to SP3, is not installed, you could not possibly have a functional application of the antivirus installed and missing a value of more than four years of critical security updates! It is not a chance in h * that SP2 & SP3 will install with your computer in its current state, Erica.

• The brightness of the display function is not after installing Service Pack 2

  Hi, I had installed Service Pack 2 as recommended by the window update (my laptop is HP DV5 series). After installation, my screen resolution has changed and so I put it back to normal. But the strange thing is, I can't change the brightness of the screen by clicking on Fn + F keys that I've always done. The function to change the brightness in the power option is too much missing.

  Problem is solved after I restore the window. FN + F keys work, and re-emerged the brightness option in the Option to. The problem is, should I go for the new update that remind me of in the update of the window? Thank you!

  Hi all

  I suggest that you download and install the latest version of the software of the manufacturing.  Software installation utility your function keys should work again.

  Thank you for using answers Forum. Please let us know how it works.

• Windows XP install Service Packs 1, 2 and 3

  I have a secondary old Dell desktop PC. The Intel graphics chips and drivers were originally produced by Intel only for XP or XP Pro for this configuration of office. I had to reinstall my XP Pro HARD drive problems. XP Pro installed OK, no problem. I have need of SP 1, 2, and 3 to update the operating system to improve the graphics, who are in default of 640 X 480 16-bit VGA mode of operation.

  I use this machine for a program of database of previous flat file called Q and A 4, I need. I don't use internet on this computer. XP Pro tells me I can't install Service Packs without an internet link to Microsoft. Is it possible to install the three service packs for XP Pro without having access to the internet?

  Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

  Here is the link for SP2

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?ID=28

  you don't need to install SP1 first, and you only need to install this if your relocation was not already SP1 or later version.

  Here is the link for SP3

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?ID=24

  You can go straight for this installation if you already have a service pack installed.

  Here's the downloadable installers so obviously, you will need to download on another PC and save it on a USB key (for example) or other portable media. The links take you directly to a download prompt. If you see something Microsoft Advisor downloads are for networks or professionals to ignore it.

  This will not only fix your graphics problems. You need to get the drivers for your graphics card in the manufacturer's Web site. If you want further help let us know more details about your system Dell (serial number and/or range/model).

  Graphics drivers are probably not the only drivers you are missing. Install the Intel chipset drivers above all other device drivers. Go to the Dell support site and enter your service tag to get a list of drivers

  http://www.Dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/products/

  You can download them in the same portable medium that you use for the service packs.

  See also general Dell helps with the installation of the driver

  http://www.Dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/268873?c=us&s=DHS&CS=19&l=en

  You should have received a Dell CD with all the drivers for your system on it, but, from my experience, many people "lose".
