Software re - install requires XP SP2 but I am already using SP3
While trying to load, I get an error message that says I have to have SP2 installed upgrading to continue. As I said, I had already used SP3 is how to reset my system after the crash. Microsoft does support SP2 and has no practical solution. Software is also is no longer supported and all the world wants upgrade me to the most recent (WINDOWS 7 or VISTA, new video, new hardware for video capture, editing software, etc.)
Is it possible that I can get everything working properly (as it was previously)? The obvious answer is that SP3 should take care of it, but having the SP3 (instead of SP2) upgrade is what prevents the installation. How can I overcome the requirement for SP2 to SP3 is already there?
Does this solve the problem you are having?

I need to re - install Windows XP SP2, but have lost the CD
I need to reformat my hard drive and reinstall Windows XP SP2. However, I do not have the CD. Help!
Most machines have a recovery partition which will reinstall your machine to the condition as purchased without using a CD. When you start your machine and the first messages are displayed on your screen, look for a message that tells you to press a certain key to a recovery operation. It only lasts a second or two, so you have to look quickly. When you see displayed, quickly press this button and start the process of re - install. Make sure that you backup your personal data first as the desire to re - install everything remove.

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.

Hi Rob,
What is happening in Mode safe? If you can install it in Mode safe mode then delete all entries in startup via msconfig as this could conflict with the program.
If this does not work, saving all the data of your administrator account, you can delete the account and recreate it.

Problems installing Windows XP SP2
A failure of the system, I had to recover my laptop from the recovery disks provided when I bought the laptop. This has only installed XP Pro SP1 and I'm trying to upgrade to SP3. However, I need to install SP1a or SP2 first. I tried to install both, but none works.
SP1a crashes when it's downloading files, on the verification of the network activity, nothing is actually happening.
SP2 crashes when checking in product key.
Please help me with this problem.
If the computer is connected to the internet, chances are that it is infected (again). See...
Cleaning a compromised system
http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspxPersonal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!
HOW to do a clean install of Windows XP: see method 1 and http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html#steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978307
NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery").
After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:

VERY IMPORTANT! -Online 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 MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the removal tool appropriate prior to installing the updates, Windows Service Packs or IE upgrades AND BEFORE installing your new anti-virus application (which will require WinXP SP3 must be installed).

HP Compaq Presario CQ61 laptop: no sound after installing the Vista SP2
After installing SP2 on my new laptop, I found, on my version check, he did not mention SP1 as having been installed/added.
Then I tried to UNINSTALL SP2, or take the computer to a previous restore point, as the problem of "NO SOUND" (confirmed by a small circle of Red containing a white "x" icon of speakers [IDT High Definition Audio CODEC] located at the bottom right of the laptop screen may have been caused by adding SP2 without previously installing SP1)
.
I discovered that there is no previous restore point (it's a new laptop) - so I can't RESTORE to AN EARLIER DATE of TIME and I have not the slightest idea how to UNINSTALL SP2 - on windows xp I could have just do it through the CENTER OF CONTROL and ease "Add or remove programs.
- According to the Sound Devices device manager both work properly i.e. the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC and the Intel(r) High Definition Audio HDMI - although I did not understand why I have two devices here, (maybe cos I tried default return of windowsn na sound?
I guess I could use the back to factory State cd to get her back, once again on my laptop, but I hope that I don't need to do.
Any suggestions please, because I feel a frustrated mite.
Hi teacher Cheryl
Thanks for your reply.
However, I cannot locate the page you are talking about.
I seem to have lost in these areas (see * below)
It seems to be all kinds of pages to do with the support of drivers, updates, but do not know which one to use to do a download of the update that I seems to require (assuming that I don't already have).
I found what seems to be the driver of Audio concerned especially for the particular model, but do not know if it is the version of correct i.e.latest of the driver or how to download.
The details are:-
"The software and the following drivers are compatible with your product and the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system
' Pilot - AudioDateVersionPreviousSize' IDT High-Definition Audio CODEC Driver 04 - 20096.10.6159.0 A ' Version: 21,02'
Also, when I click on "Open Volume Mixer at the foot of the screen, it says"no audio device is installed"
* I am new to both Vista and HP Care advise and indeed on the Forum.
