Just looked on another XP computer.  Same thing.  SP3 appears in Add/Remove programs but there is no displayed size.  And on the desktop, properties, General Tab SP3 is listed.

Unless you're dealing with a hard drive that is nearly full, space should not be a problem.  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947311

Your message is in the forum for the users of the software program anti-malware for Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE), and Protocol dictates that I should have referred you elsewhere instead of answering your first question.

If you have concerns about SP3, I suggest you go the Forum answers and post or the researches in the XP Forum or Forum of Windows updates.

  • Firefox requires Flash. I click on install. It is on my computer but then said does not charge WHY

    drop-down list which shows up to install flash player, click on install. It is the Flash player on my computer but when I install, it says cannot install and do it manually. When I click on that it sends me to the Flash player site that wants me to down load programs.

    As I say, I already have Flash player on my system and is automatically updated at any time. I checked and this is the latest version available.

    Bottom line, it's how to get Firefox to use the one I already have on my system? I'm not comfortable downloading a program of Firefox, I have already said.

  • I have an external hard drive and the althogh sound in 'remove hardware safely', it is not listed in 'my computer '.

    I have a HDD external and well that his "safely remove hardware" that is not listed in 'my computer' the problem is I am backing up Paolo and if I can not find I can't do.

    When I go to the hardware / device mananger it is in "O" but I can not find drive O

    Can someone please help.

    This external hard drive works on other systems?

    The drive will appear in the top of the disk management window?  If so, look at the column layout, Type, file system and status.  The "file system" must be FAT or NTFS.  From your description, it appears that Windows does not recognize the partition as being to the format in a way that he can use.  You may need to delete the existing partition (attention: this will remove all files that may exist on the disk), and then create a new partition in FAT32 or NTFS format.  Advice to do this, right-click the disk, choose 'Help', then go to:
    -> How To disk management...-> manage the volumes of base-> Delete, Create, or Format.

  • There, can someone help me fix an ops sp3 Windows XP old, broken down (but still running). sys

    I'm very, very ugly, slow typist. I need to find somewhere I can talk in person on fixing xp sp3 op sys malfunction. Windows updates fail to install, sys. restoration doesn't seem to work, restored backup a few sys.files double on drive c, slowing comp.down. Condition appears to have caused the error in the security program, I had to uninstall and reinstall the program, etc. perhaps?  I have to re - install windows xp but I don't know how. Please... There will always be this typing I do . I could buy a new computer, but I got used to my old xp - a bit like an old car. I repaired him before and she has functioned well for a long time, but now I'm stuck. If I could fix it itself toward the top without spending a fortune, I'd rather. I would really like to find some PERSON who speak who is knowledgeable enough to help me find the right help or information to do the job. Or who-knows - what was that last line in Casablanca? Thank you, hope to talk to you soon.

    3 initial suggestions. 1, practice with typing you will get better 2, you could get a microphone and a program that automatically what you say tape and 3. You can also get a microphone to talk to someone to voice chat (for example Skype) rather than in person to help you solve the problem.

  • Service pack 3 on my computer but the webcam I bought required service pack 2

    I have service pack 3 on my computer, but the webcam I bought required service pack 2.  What can I uninstall 3 and make 2?

    * original title - I have service pack 3 but need service pack 2 for the webcam

    Yes, you can do it.

    but there might be a chance that if you last updated your system to sp3, the driver would not work.

    That being said, go to the website of the webcam and review their installation instructions because they have updated their software or hardware cam driver for the component that you have purchased.

    either way, it seems that the cam was made during the time when xp sp2 was on the market.

  • Drive hard not in my computer but device and computer management Manager

    Hi all... I have some extremely important irreplaceable files on my second hard drive. Today, I bought an external to save them, and when I turned on my computer, I was unable to get the disk. The drive is listed as "RAW".

    Then I tried to start to recover files of any programs online, they just finally estimate a 35 hour and counting wait and then my computer crashed. So I restarted and now the drive is unrecognizable in "My Computer" but it is listed in the device (such as a storage device) Manager

    I tried 2 diff computers and also 2 different external case with the same result.

    For any help or suggestion is very appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Hello DMoneyPros,

    • What is the status of the hard disk in disk management?
    • Your external hard drive appears as a raw management disk or hard drive Partition?

    If the disk hard not not display in Windows Explorer appears in disk management, this means that the hard disk is raw and is not formatted?

    You should try to assign the drive letter of the hard disk in the disk management and check if it appears in Windows Explorer:

    Change the drive letter:

    1. open computer management by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, clicking Administrative Tools, and then double-click computer management. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    2. in the Navigation pane, click Disk Management.

    3. right click on the partition or drive that you want to change and then click on change drive letter and paths.

    4. to change a drive letter, click on edit, click on assign the following drive letter, click the letter you want to use and then click OK.
