SP2

Can someone help me try to get my hard drive reformatted to SP3. I used my original OS drive that was SP1 and now I want to upgrade to SP3 and it seems to be impossible. On the microsoft Update site that seems well to enable professionals or those who want to download to a network, but not for those who want to download on a single computer at home. Y at - it a simple way to get SP3 or SP2 even since [as I understand] I get SP3 if I have SP2. Any help would be appreciated since renewing my current and then reformatted hard drive I have struggled to get the operational connection Wireless [it's ok for now] and cannot get anti virus on SP1 either so I'm quite vulnerable to God knows what virus' until I can get updated to SP3. Thank you.

You can (and should) use the «IT Professional» download  This statement is just there to help minimize the download time.  And you don't need SP2.  You can go directly from XP sp1 sp3.  See the second "HOW TO" link below.

Check out these tips for a long time MS MVP PA Bear:

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.

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).

  • XP SP1 and SP3 are mentioned, but I can run latest Firefox on XP SP2?

    I run XP SP2 and not load XP SP3. I run Firefox 3.6.22 because Roboform fooled me with a lie. When I bought Roboform, I was "guaranteed all updates AND upgrades for LIFE", but when Firefox 3.6, there was an apparent RoboForm complicity so that new versions of Roboform have been blocked from working in Firefox 3.6 (at the same time, of course, removed Firefox browser Firefox password management) , and clients that Roboform had guaranteed 'upgrades for life' were NOT excluded in to avoid the breaking of Roboform promise/warranty for them.

    I will switch to Linux, but I use LastPass (instead of Roboform) up there. I'll never pay for Roboform a penny, and I always post my experience with their dishonesty whenever the forum is conducive.

    I can switch browsers, but I remain all too quickly with Firefox if you can tell me what version of Firefox will work CORRECTLY with XP SP2 (and be maintained properly)? A link to it would be helpful.

    Thank you

    Yes, I use it for years now and never had a problem with it. You can protect/encrypt your passwords in the main Manager of pw of firefox with a password is asked once per session (if not, a person with physical access to your computer could read the passwords).

    Hi sm,.

    When you want to download a driver there is a document entitled information update Microsoft Windows XP SP2. All right, I see the update for Driver Sound is not necessary for your A10.

    Check sound and Audio Devices Properties all settings anyway.

    Please also check your Volume control side dial on the front of your laptop. :)

  • Satellite Pro 6100, WXP SP2, once in mode installation ensures the unknown USB

    After you install the update in Win XP SP2 on my laptop Toshiba SAT Pro 6100, the following occurs:

    When the laptop wakes from sleep mode, the USB connector is unknown and the communication is lost.

    Who knows the answer to this problem?

    Hello Erjee,

  • Tecra A8, WinXP SP2 - number with built-in speakers

    Hello

    I know that this issue has been brought on several times, but I can't find a solution.
    I recently inherited a Toshiba Tecra A8. Problem is: the built-in speakers can't seem to work, but the sound is fine on speakers headphones or external. Speakers used to work at a certain time in the past, but the former owner cannot tell me what caused the change suddenly.

    Here's what I did, chronologically, after going through several forums:

    -SP3 was installed when I got the computer. I tried to go back to SP2.
    -J' reinstalled XP (due, machine was too slow). SP2 came with the installation CD.
    -J' installed two XP patches that were supposed to solve the problem: KB835221 and KB888111
    -J' I re-installed the Realtek HD Audio codec
    -J' I always try to inhibition/reactivate after all that I do, even before or after a reboot.

    Here's what I can tell so far:

    -Its icon is present on the system tray. All volumes are up, either on the Windows audio Manager or the Realtek one.
    -I have no BACK beeps.
    -I'm still in SP2. Tried to move to SP3 (on this new installation of XP, of course).
    -Until I have reinstall Realtex HD Audio, the "in-house" option listed under "Audio i/o" has been shown, but I couldn't access it. After reinstalling, it is simply gone.

    I think that's about it. I came across the same solutions on various forums or discussion groups. I've been looking for two days now, nothing helps. The computer has never been dropped or damaged, and since then, it seems that many people experience (d) the same problem as mine, I'm sure this isn't a hardware problem. Well, I hope this isn't.

    So there. I invite you, no, please use your magic and a flawless, absolute solution which will give back me the joy of listening to Justin Bieber in peace. Or something else.

    Thanks in advance!

    What you did was right, but I m missing more important information: y at - it the same problem when you install original recovery image and test with the factory settings? If yes then we can say this isn't a hardware problem.
    Now, we can only speculate if there can be unwanted hardware. Is that sound card works correctly, but somehow your internal speakers are disabled.

    Reason is little mixer port audio jack. Maybe they are blocked somehow. Who knows?

  • Tecra M9-136 - BSOD during Vista SP2 update

    Tecra M9-136 asked this morning to upgrade to the Vista SP2 and in the process the BSOD 0x0000007E arrived. Restarted in Mode safe and continuous Setup and then finally reported that the update failed - and came back to SP1. It took most of the morning.

    It will start in Safe Mode, but on a start normal, Vista SP1 gets through fingerprint recognition and then fails with the same BSOD (there is regarding the display of the desktop).

    The laptop has BIOS 1.80 level. I tried in safe mode to install 1.90 but he told me that the battery has insufficient charge and the AC adapter is not attached. Both wrong.

    Stuck - need advice. Could this be a hard failure? Can't see how I can update whatever it is if it's a soft fault.
    Thank you

    Have you tried to make back the OS to an earlier time before the SP2 installation started?
    You can do it in safe mode.

  • Tecra S1: BSOD & reboot after installing SP2

    After installation of SP2 for Windows XP on three Tecra S1 of the computer crashes whenever the power cord is out of the machines. Then it restarts and restarts until the machine stops completely.

    The error ocures on three Tecra S1. It seems that there is a conflict with the pre-installed Windows XP Pro and the drivers Toshiba and SP2.

    Someone at - it an idea how to solve this very annoying problem?

    Thank you

    Chris

    Hello Chris,
    the SP2 blocking ActiveX Toshiba Management Console modules, so you must install the fixed version TMC v3.5.2.
    However, to avoid any problem, after installation of SP2 on Tecra S1, you need to update:
    -Battery BT and utility (only for machines with BT)
    Management - Toshiba console
    -Toshiba Hotkey utility
    Utilities - Toshiba
    Energy saving - Toshiba
    Toshiba - mobile extensions

  • Qosmio E15: How to upgrade Media Center 2002 SP1 to SP2?

    Hello

    My Qosmio E15-AV101 was shupped with Media Center 2002 SP1. I did the automatic update from Microsoft and also downloaded the SP2 package. Still, the upgrade process fails. When I'm tired, I contacted MS technical assistance for the reason my Media center rejecting the upgrade. Microsoft replyed than the version supplied with Toshiba and other equipment manufacturers are customized to match the hardware manufacturer full compatibility.
    Quote:
    "
    Notes of this part of the OEM and Microsoft agreement is to allow Original Equipment Manufacturer support for the products they have installed on a particular computer. The agreement was presented only the OEM often change and pre-install Microsoft software on their computers to ensure compatibility and to take full advantage of your computer s hardware. This means that the OEM has expertise on your Microsoft software on your computer in particular works.
    "

    So, is the solution to my problem. How to upgrade?

    Hello

    First of all it is a user to user forum and you won't find anyone from Toshiba.
    Secondly, as far as I know that your device was designed for an American market and if you are looking for drivers or updates you must use a Web from Toshiba site we:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_sc_home.jsp

    If you have any problems with your unit, so you must contact the ASP (authorized service partner Toshiba) in your country.

    As far as I know that Windows Vista is not official on the market. Maybe the end of the year or next year.
    I can t believe that you are not available to install the updates. I checked a few comments and Microsoft updates have always worked.

    As I suggested at the beginning if you have some problems with your unit has so contact the service of Toshiba.

  • Cannot install SP2 on different laptops Toshiba

    I want to install the new SP2 on Satego X 200 and a Satellite P200.

    The installation fails with the error code E_FAIL(0x80004005) on the Satego and ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED(0x80070005) on the Satellite (both Vista Home Premium 32 bit SP1). I tried all of the solutions provided by MS, on the Web and in various newsgroups. Nothing works, so I think it's a problem between MS and Toshiba.
    I had no problem with the installation of SP2 on three non-Toshiba notebooks.

    Maybe your Windows installation is damaged or incorrect?

    What you can try is to back up your data and run recovery, then install SP2.

  • BSOD after installing SP2 on Tecra A2

    Hola,

    A friend gave me his Toshiba Tecra A2 (489 MB RAM, 1.75 GHz, 40 GB HD, XP Pro SP1), who suffered the usual problems of the system of middle ages - in phase terminale-slow-off operation, the caused by badly clogged registry etc... I made sure that I wouldn't break it, or at least would do no worse, and that it would be better to take it to a store tech for them to watch, £30.

    Then I did the stuff standard, following which worked well.

    * Disc cleanup (from C:\ [Properties])
    * msconfig to remove unnecessary startup programs
    * Full scan disk
    * full defrag
    * hung in line to run liveupdate from Norton AV
    * ran a standard register, basic cleaning program
    * all online ran several passes of windows update, with several restarts without error.

    He then took all afternoon install SP2 and restart, he went through the usual XP style blue splash screens, I expected post-SP installation, i.e. "Please wait...". »

    seemed to crash, reboot, and then displays the blue screen of death and this message:

    -----

    STOP: c000021a {fatal system error}
    The process of the system session manager initialization ended unexpectedly with status 0x000026c. (0x00000000 0 x 0000000).
    The system has been shut down

    ------

    Since I tried all other boot options (safe mode, last known good setting, etc.) without success.

    Any ideas on how to recover? I would be grateful. At the very least, I need to retrieve files from the HD before making a recovery facility.

    your

    First: with such errors you should first ask google or microsoft because it s knowledge base not a toshiba associated problem.
    And regarding your problem: you are absolutely not able to enter the system?

    You can recover the files by putting HARD drive into a USB box and copy the contents to another diskk or you use 'UBCD4Win' and copy the files from the HDD to another USB - HDD.

    Otherwise, you'll have some nice for study time because it can be ANYTHING!

  • A60-302: problems with Win XP SP2 update

    I have Win XP Home OEM and installed SP2. Since then, the desktop icons are refreshed terribly slowly (for example at startup). Sometimes it takes 2-3 seconds for a simple icon appears in place of his general "icon". I'm just interested in other experiments in this.

    Another thing that has changed is that 'The House' disappeared from the Windows XP startup screen (the screen with the 3 small boxes from left to right), so now it says only "Windows XP." He disappeared with the others, too? Oh yes, and the little boxes changed to blue from green, which is, of course, not a very important issue, but always - is this normal?

    Finally, does anyone have an idea if there is a Toshiba official e-mail address where should be sent issues related to Windows? Just because the web page Microsoft says questions about OEM products should be addressed to the manufacturer of the equipment. I could not find such an address, even in SUPPORT, only this forum.

    Thank you
    András

    Hi andras,.

    I think that you have installed the Toshiba Recovery BONE, havn't you?
    and what laptop do you have? This info is important!

    For your first question with the icons I have no experience, but for the second.

    The colors changed boxes bit is a little confusing because XP Home are Greens and XP Prof blue ones!

    If you want the support of toshiba you must go to the country specific Toshiba Web page where you live or you bought the laptop. Here on the Web page you can find a banner with a support phone number on the left side in the middle of the site.
    Mail support is also country specific and is not available in all countries!

    I'll hope this helps!

  • Tecra S1 problems after SP2 installation

    I have a problem when I use SP2 on my Tecra S1. After you install SP2, my pc crashes when I use the function 'stand by' or 'Hibernate '. It comes with a conflict of interrupt on irq 11 and begins to restart again. Whenever the pc starts again, the blue screen appears with the problem to irq 11 and the program that does, it apears at the bottom of the blue screen, should be "gv3.sys. I did al updates on ' information to update the driver for Windows XP with Service Pack 2 - v1.1.pdf ", but without success. The pdf file say I need to update the driver power saver to version 1.00.34M version, but I can't find it on the site. I use the Dutch version of WXP and the only driver I can find on the Web site is the 1.00.32M version and the English version is the 1.00.34M, so maybe that's the problem. I tried with a clean version directly from the restore CD but I came up with the same results.

    Who can help me to fix this, or point me in the right direction.

    Hello
    you are absolutely right! The 1.00.32M version is the most recent for your machine (for the Netherlands).

    Do not irritate cause there is a version higher than for other countries. The functions are equal.

    Try again with this version and keep us updated, please!

    Good bye
