• Code800F900 'unknown error in windows update' trying to download windows vista service pack 2

  try to download windows vista service pack 2. Last update was on May 21, 2010. For a few weeks or months, the computer can be terribly slow. Often a hard drive rattle sound. For this, I tried anti-spyware, last week I installed and ran AdAware from lavasoft. It found nothing except two small cookies. A few weeks earlier, I had done the same thing using windows Defender. Also nothing. Along with a check disk hard I did not find much either. What end of the lifecycle for this computer, now about 3 years? He was one of the first available vista computers. Thank you for your help, Peter

  Why did you delete your post where you said that Norton application has been installed at some point in the past?

  There is nothing wrong with the guarantee of these forums, but I'd be willing to bet that there is something VERY wrong with the security of your computer!

• Upgrade XP Home Service Pack 3 (OEM) for XP Pro Service Pack 3 (full ed., teaching license)

  I've been reading and research on the Microsoft forums and support sites, and nobody has provided definitive guidance on how to upgrade XP Home to XP Pro on-site (both editions are SP-3). I have too setups/configurations and software to deal with the headaches of manually resettlement at the moment. I intend to t perform a upgrade in-place to Vista at a later date. However, the problem I have both of these solutions is that I don't see an 'Upgrade' option when I boot from XP Pro Service Pack 3 installation disk. I only repair and installation (clean) options. (I tried both OEM and educational versions licensed full disk to install XP Pro SP3.) Both are legal copies).

  While many people have suggested that there is little difference between Home and Pro of XP versions (with the exception of the connectivity of remote and networking Assistance or domain), there is a huge difference in the types of programs that will run the home edition! Experts seem to overlook the fact that a lot of business applications and business, including some of Microsoft applications, do not work on the publishing of Windows! Therefore, I need to convert my existing OEM of XP Home Pro installation, in order to continue to work from home. Also, the so-called 'hack', I found on Microsoft Support that tricks the registry into thinking that XP Home is really Pro doesn't seem to work. I still see "XP Home" listed on the general tab of the system properties in Control Panel.

  I read on the page of Support of XP it is possible to perform this upgrade. But every support response said to start from the installation disc and click the upgrade option. Obviously, something wrong here. I'd appreciate it if someone could please tell me/us how to proceed. Thank you in advance for your help!

  Well, if you have studied all the possible options.  then the one I have is evidenced by 'research to the outside of the box'.

  You can repartition your hard drive into 2 discs or add a second hard drive to the computer.  essentially if you only have a c drive, then you must add a d drive to your system.

  then install xp pro on the secondary drive.   In doing so, you will have two operating system on your computer to start from, alias double boot.

  on the xp pro drive, you can install only the specialty programs that require the "pro" version while retaining the ability to start your oem with all your standard programs intact.

  of course you also have the possibility of 'nuk-clear', then to format the drive and wipe "oem" in order to install the 'pro '.   but frankly, the dual-boot method is better by far.

• I could not fix Windows XP Home service pack 2 upgrade. The system indicates that it cannot find a previous version of Windows installed .__I lost the previous version disk.

  Hi, I'm in big trouble.

  I just try to repair my Windows XP service pack 2/3 upgrade.

  The system asked me to save the copy, but after trying to save the computer freezes.

  I try several time to reinstall and now the system asked me to reinstall the software, I need to reinstall the earlier version of Windows that has been '2000', but unfortunately I throw away a few months ago.

  I bought a new hard drive were I have installed a new version of XP 64-bit.

  Is it possible to transfer all my documents, files, settings, etc in the new hard drive?

  All advice avaiable?

  Thanks in advance.

  CICO.

  Disconect your drive, insert your disk again as master, install Windows XP on the new drive. Once msupdate was executed and the manufacturers drivers have been installed and the sys works ok.

  Stop, connect the old drive as slave, restart

  Transfer data as needed. You may need to "take possession of records" - see victory help (donot attempt the transfer settings)

• My operating system is Windows XP Home Service Pack 3. In the process of printing two jobs, first filled, but second one hung up. Error message was the print spooler does not.

  I followed the suggestion to use start > Control Panel > administration tool > services > print spooler > properties.

  System in automatic mode but State of the said service stopped.

  I get error 1075: the dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion.

  Printer worked this AM, but stopped working between two print jobs.

  I used Mr. Fixit to diagnose and fix the problem. Mr. Fixit indicates the print spooler service is not running, but cannot fix it.

  Is there a source code for Windows XP service pack 3 which can be downloaded to replace the corrupted code?

  Thanks for your help

  Curry:

  I have followed your suggestion after that someone else provided the steps for me to do the program accept net start spooler.

  The error message was THAT SYSTEM ERROR 1075 has occurred.

  The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion.

  If I need to reload the operating system, I have a back up saved on a hard drive.

  Do you know what file (s?) needs to be recharged?
