the need for victory. XP pro. service pack 3 to service pack 2

Hello
I use desktop PC Pentium 4 (32-bit), my OS is windows XP Professional with service pack 2 is already installed.

Automatic update windows has already downloaded service pack 3 on my computer and installation pending.

I don't know if I need this service pack 3 when I already have service pack 2, installed in my system.

Then what should I do? If I install SP3 then what happens to the already installed SP2.

Is it posible to delete the downloaded SP3 which has not yet been installed.

I don't know what to do, can anyone advice me whether to install SP3 or remove it?

Yes, you need to install SP3. Computers running under that WinXP SP2 will NOT be offered additional updates of security reviews, automatic updates will stop working, and the Windows Update Web site will not be available after April 12, 2010, until that SP3 is installed.

SP3 will replace SP2 and SP3 can be uninstalled, if necessary.

WinXP SP3 - read all the prerequisites for a successful installation
http://msmvps.com/blogs/harrywaldron/archive/2008/05/08/Windows-XP-SP3-read-all-prerequisites-for-a-successful-installation.aspx


Temporarily disable all real-time protections offered by your antivirus application, all anti-spyware applications and third-party firewall before installing SP3.  If you disable a third party firewall, make sure that you then enable the Windows Firewall: the machine must not be connected to the internet without a firewall active.

NB ZA free users: Uninstall via Add/Remove Programs free ZA and enable Windows Firewall before you install SP3.

After installed SP3 and rebooted twice, check that your coverage in real time has been re-enabled; If you have disabled a third party firewall, remember to re - enable and disable the Windows Firewall.

Free installation and unlimited compatibility support for WinXP SP3 is available since April 14, 2008 to May 2009.  This support will cost you 59 US$ per incident now.

    If a customer is already using a VPN infrastructure, HP workspace does not eliminate the need for a virtual private network, since HP Workspace application virtualization Server servers might need access through the VPN. HP offer a service added to a VPN integration for HP customers workspace which may require it. For purchase details, please contact your authorized HP or HP account.

    I do not just shoot when to install my anti-virus software, I need to close my Windows Firewall... 2 + 2 = and Yes, when I did I got the virus of shit...

    If only I had not installed the Norton... do you not think that any PC can operate without the need for anti-virus software knowing that you must close

    the Windows firewall and use theres rather...?

    I wonder!

    Hello

    It would be unwise to try to start without antivirus/antispyware are has just too many real threats and
    methods for malware to attack the system. If you attempt to do if of course you have redundant and
    current backups.

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
    Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp  <-->

    Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

    I hope this helps and happy holidays!

    My Windows Update does not seem to recognize the need for updates to the programs... This has happened for a long time. It will only recognize the updates of Microsoft Security Essentials, but when he checks the updates it points only to the basics of security.

  • Photosmart 7510 - I want to use only black ink since I don't have all the need for a color.

    Photosmart 7510 - I want to use only black ink since I mainly use this for work and don't have all the need for a color. If I have more ink, can I just replace the black and it still work? Thank you very much for any information you may have!

    Hello

    I did a few test last year, you can print black only master always need color ink for the printer. Black setting only as a default printer will only print black and it consumes a little over heating of the process color inks. In short, it will not be printed correctly when run out of color ink (s) or does not start at all.

    Kind regards.

  • How to eliminate the need for a password or fingerprint reader to open the computer?

    I wish that my pop just on computer without the using a password or fingerprint reader. I implemented the fingerprint reader, but I don't remember setting up a password so I would just eliminate the need for the fingerprint reader. I know that this makes my computer more vulnerable but I live alone and when someone is more, my children or friends, I wish they were able to get on my computer without calling me more to scan my fingers again and again. I implemented the fingerprint as a fluke reader just to see work and then couldn't figure out how to remove the drive without setting up a password. That's what he said to me when I try to remove the traces of fingers.

    It, S VERY SIMPLE... Click (windows icon) in the lower left corner (which is to start windows), and then select Control Panel and select user accounts. you will see your account name to simply select the option to remove your password and when you restart computer it will start just to the top with you having to connect. bettr to do for your children is for when you go to user accounts is to select Create new account name whatever you want for children do not assign a password to it and make sure that it is just a regular user account and not an administrator account on this way they can't remove anything or make changes to your computer that could damage the operating system. You should really think about it b4 you just let em have a complete control over it.

  • Why my CS6 apps show the need for an update?

    For some reason, in my drop down list creative cloud, my Adobe Photoshop CS6 and my Dreamweaver CS6 show that they must be updated.  I went through and got the error "U44M1P7" and found different solutions.  When I arrived at the Solution #2, I went to try to install the updates manually.  Out of curiosity, I made a command-I on the two applications to see what version I already had - and they are the same version as the last update.  So, in simple terms, the creative cloud app shows the need for an update, but according to the 'latest news', the last update is already installed.  Can someone tell me what could be the problem?  Thanks in advance - Scott

    Hi,

    Please, try the following steps:
