Hello

32-bit, including most of the operating systems XP installed is, in 64-bit is not an upgrade path.

It must be done with a clean installation, moving from 32 bit to 64 bit.

You can only change from 32-bit to 32-bit.

  • Windows XP Pro SP3, OEM in Dell D600 "not responding" on every article, every time, all the windows

    My DELL D600 has OEM Windows XP Pro SP3, and netframeworks all or almost suddenly started not ANSWER DO NOT each time. I don't know what went wrong, it's driving me crazy. I can't afford to upgrade.

    I tried the fixit from Microsoft online, no luck.

    I uninstalled a few programs, perhaps thinking it's too full. Still no luck.

    Whenever I use any folder window, or any element of the queue at all, the same thing happens, every time. "Not responding" delays on the window or the desktop contains the item. Must hit Ctl + Alt + Delete at least twice, if not 3 - 4 times.  Each 'entry' lasts for a number of at least 26 and often much longer.  Basically, Windows is not very functional.

    I have two OEM for Dell, not sure that I put here (I was wondering if I should repair-installation Windows), but worried to destroy my Office Server installations that have 3 WordPress developments.  I can't afford to destroy the.

    Any ideas to FIX this would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Good, minor success.

    The returned quickly file number, but a re - check with Roguefix showed, it was not clear, no change in System.

    I therefore decided to start uninstalling things, hoping to uninstall accidentally the culprit.

    First I stripped all the netframeworks and the SPs.  Has failed, file number remained.

    I then started to uninstall programs. After uninstalling programs a half-dozen, suddenly THE FILES ARE WORKING AGAIN!  Don't ask me why.

    Then, I rebuilt my netframeworks and SPs.

    Then, I clicked to access Microsoft Updater to get up to speed.

    IT WILL NOT BE UPDATED.  Failed! is what I get.  It says the software needed TO be updated is not in my HD and offer a download. When I try to download and install failed!  It will be not even installed that.

    This goes back to the same "cause" - for reasons unknown the last 4-6 weeks, installing any updates in my DELL D600 Windows XP Pro OEM.  Initially, they install.  Then begins the phase were some updates installed, others down without reason.

    Then, no updates would be installed.  That was BEFORE I plucked executives trying to solve the issue of records.

    It is not even asking me to install the real test happened before, I think that.  I think it was in August 2013 or almost.

    I'm desperate to get the updates, if you have an idea on how to help me.

    Thank you.

    I went into recovery options and each tried and nothing worked.  The last option that I came was to make Factory Image Recovery, I need Windows 8 Pro because I join domain and use Bitlocker and start with the virtual hard drive.  Why it failed, would it secure boot or UEFI.  Please tell me what I can do to get this update to work.  The upgrade looked like it was working but then wouldn't boot into Windows more after the reboot.

    Sorry for the experience with the support of Microsoft. I wasn't expecting that. Let us try the old process to restore the system to the factory settings, uninstalling unwanted applications and then create an inplace upgrade to Windows 8 Pro. Let's see what happens this time.

  • Windows xp pro sp3 can not get updates - don't stop to check updates and nothing happens.

    For the past 2 weeks I can't get windows on windows xp pro sp3 updates. The green bar that runs while the verification of updates just keeps running and running and does'nt stop until I have stop. No error codes at all.
    Run the fix it tool and indicates "registration for the service is missing or corrupted" and it offers a solution for the problem of the does'nt.
    What is the reference for this?

    I had the same problem and you will spend one day trying many suggestions, including various Microsoft Fix - its, which none worked, and which some worse messing with the BITs service (that I then had to restore, losing even more time).

    In the end, I found that the problem was related to the update of Cumulative security for Internet Explorer 8. There is a kind of incompatibility with previous versions of this update that causes IE stuck when he tries to check the updates.

    The solution for me was to download and install the * last * IE Cumulative Security Update * manually * before you try to run Windows Update to get the other patches. Here's how:

    (1) using the Internet Explorer, I visited the current MS security bulletin page

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin

    (2) from there, I went to the latest summary (November 2013) and found the update of IE at the top of the list: "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (2888505).

    (3) I couldn't see direct links for just this update, so I copied the number of the Knowledge Base - 2888505 - and google for "Download KB2888505" (Bing didn't work by the way). This gave me the direct download link:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41074

    (4) I have downloaded and run the update installer and then restarted (as required by the software update).

    Microsoft/Windows Update restart worked. I repeated the same process on a second computer with the same problem and it worked also.

    I installed Norton 360 offred via internet was last updated.  It immediately launched all applications previously disabled at STARTUP in msconfig.  And shortly after he started to gives me the blue screen "to the death".  This done in two days, and I was desperately trying to solve the problem by turning off almost all applications critical to running Windows XP Pro SP3, Norton and Office 2007 Home and student.  I even went and tried to edit the Boot.ini file in startup and recovery under the Advanced tab in the workstation properties.  Now all I get is an error message Windows cannot start because the hal.dll file is missing or damaged.  I replaced it by copying a modified version of the boot sequence, while the hard drive of my laptop was enslaved to my desktp PC, but nothing helped.  I can't even the Recovery Console to start on my laptop.  I need HELP, please.

    These profile errors are usually caused by one of the following:

    1-profile corruption.  The user profile is damaged and that Windows cannot load.  To resolve this issue, create a new user profile and move your files to the new profile.   See here for more information:

    How to copy data from a corrupted to a new profile in Windows XP user profile

    2 drives or corruption of the file system.  Run chkdks /f on the volume C:.  Please note that there is ALWAYS a risk of data loss when chkdsk is run on a volume, ideally, you should have a backup of your files before running chkdsk.

    3 - virus or malware activity.  Some of these parasites can revoke your permissions on the folder of your profile, check the permissions on "C:\Documents and Settings\Andre" and make sure you have a full control on the folder.  Check this box until you try #1 or 2 above.

    Some of these parasites can also revoke your permissions in key areas of the registry and create real Dany on the machine that can prevent you to run some of your software.  Use Regedit to load your old profile hive (NTUSER.
