• Windows XP Professional starts in safe mode after the service pack 2 update

  I have an older version of Windows XP version 1.0 on a computer in November 2001 of the gateway that I have updated all offers updates of material such as BIOS and motherboard.  Then to the service pack 2 update so I can load an antivirus software which does not load unless you have SP2 or later version.  It loads like a champ and restarts, but Windows does not start normally, I have to start in safe mode and remove SP2.  Is there a driver error that I need to find?  Or is there an other update I need before SP2 for such an old version of windows? (He also did the same thing with SP3).  Help!  I tried to reload Windows with the repair feature, but was lost when he gave me a prompt C:\.

  When go to the icon start, then on windows update and click on microsoft update, I get this

  Install the ActiveX control required to view the site The site is not correctly displayed on your computer without this control. To install it: 1 right click on the Internet Explorer information bar. It is located just below the address bar. 2. in the context menu, click install ActiveX control. 3. in the security warning dialog box, click install. Note: If the information bar does not appear, or if you have installed the control but still cannot use the website to take these steps to solve the problem. Example: Internet Explorer information with the menu bar

  but I never see the bar to activate the active X what's the problem?

  Windows Defender is an anti-spyware application, not an antivirus application: you must both be installed. But it is too late to install one now.

  Relax and breathe.

  FIRST: Uninstall IE8 and IE7 if they are installed.  Back to all the way back to IE6.  You want other patches before you get those.  Reboot after doing this.

  You are not the first to ask questions about how to upgrade a clean Windows XP - not even installation in the last week. In fact, I will just cut and paste my answer here... here:

  Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

  Install it.

  Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

  Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

  Install it.

  Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

  Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

  Install it.

  Reset.

  Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.

  Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.

• Vista Service Pack 1 update fails - computer will not start and cannot be repaired

  The computer which is an Acer desktop computer, running Windows Vista Premium.  In the last 6 months updated Vista tried Service Pack 1 update to install Vista about 8 times and failed every time a reason any.  Just before this latest incident, a facility was "cancelled" in the Middle for some reason any.  I restarted the computer and almost immediately was advised that there is an update, which turned out be SP-1.

  I started the update, and some time later I received a message that the update was successful, and that he had to be restarted the computer.  I clicked on the button restart and the Installation continues during the shutdown.

  When the computer tried to restart initialization failed and I ended up after several lines of information that looked as if it might be checking drivers and then information began to look as if she might be reading the register lines.  Each line has 2 numbers separated by a slash (/), who scored on a single line at the top of the screen, (white letters on black background) after a certain time the count to stop with the line of text of flickering on the same entry.

  It is the line that goes to the screen when the information keeps changing.

  !! 0xc01a001d!  37636/92292 (\Registry\Machine\components\winners\x86...)

  Since the failure of the Windows Vista SP1 update, when the system begins to start, after a short while, he starts playing what seems like lines in the registry, and after a few moments he always stops with the same accurate information just flicker.  At this point, it seems that this scenario will continue forever.  The hard drive is accessible, as if trying to read something, over and above.  The hard drive light flashes, instead of being on regularly, but only for a while.  After that, even the flickering stops.

  I have tried to start mode without failure, then after loading some files and after some time (5 or 10 seconds) the displayed files always end with the same file at the bottom of the list and what seems to be a status extend the message please know...  Shortly after the screen is empty, the fails to start and the computer is restarted.

  Usually what will happen is that the computer will begin to start up again, but because the previous boot failed, it asks if you want to go to startup repair, which, at first, seems to work fine, but after a little time it brings up a dialog box asking if you want to restore to the previous good Restore Point.  The display will then return to the same routine he had previously, and she runs to always if not interrupted.

  If you click the Cancel button, a message appears indicating that you cannot interrupt the current process, so the only way that you can try something else is to Shut Off the Power in now the switch down, permanently.

  [Note: the notes above have not all accurate messages, Word for Word, exceot for the Hex error line.]

• XP is slow after all service packs and updates. Is there a summary of Windows XP that includes all upgrades and runs FASTER?

  I reformatted my Dell 2.4 ghz pc (only 512 MB of ram) to the original state of xp. It was incredibly FAST.  But to run programs, I was forced to upgrade to service pack 2. Service this pack 3.  It is slower than molasses in January in Chicago.  Microsoft has an XP consolidated and updated that includes all the security updates and new features in 1 integrated fast program?

  Spin Norton - bought after that it came with the machine.

  Ah! Norton applications are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. This gives a whirlwind:

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) via Add/Remove Programs.

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. double-click on the file that you saved in #1 above to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of your Norton application, using your product ID & reboot: http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  TIP: Do not activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate until you get a prompt "no update more".

  8 test cycle.

• How to install Win7 64-bit Service Pack 1, updates and applications correctly

  What I want to do:

  I have 2 x legitimate copies of Win 7 64 bit SP1 on DVD.  I want to install on 2 separate PC with new facilities.

  The problem that I've encountered so far:

  I formatted the hard disk in the #1 PC, installed Win 7 SP1, install the drivers that came with the motherboard (with the series of reboots), active Windows and tried to run Windows updates before installing additional software.  Windows Update installed a 'Windows Client software update' update and then began the verification of updates.  However, it remains to check for updates for always)<17 hours). ="" windows="" update="" shouldn't="" have="" choked="" at="" this="" early="" stage,="" so="" something="" has="" changed="" on="" the="" microsoft="" side="" of="" things. ="" i="" know="" that="" the="" hardware="" is="" fine="" because="" i="" had="" win="" 7="" on="" it="" prior="" and="" i="" ran="" diagnostics="" on="" it="" to="" be="" sure. ="" a="" full="" a/v="" scan="" was="" performed="" to="" ensure="" everything="" is="" clean. ="" i="" haven't="" started="" pc="" #2="">

  My question:

  What is the proper sequence of steps to get Windows 7 SP1, updates, MS Office, 3rd the party games (ex: WoW, SC-2, Diablo 3, steam), McAfee A / V, etc., installed clean so that my PC run smooth?  I know that some software requires that a specific minimum version of .NET installed, so the installation sequence is important.  I will be formatting the drive on PC #1 once again before a new attempt.

  PC Hardware #1 Info:

  -Card mother Asus Z87 - Pro (embedded ethernet and wireless adapters)

  -Processor i3-4130

  -16 GB OF RAM

  -EVGA GTX 650 graphics card

  -Drive hard Seagate SATA 6 to 2

  -LiteON SATA DVD burner

  -Keyboard Logitech K120 and MS Mouse (the two USB)

  PC Hardware #2 info:

  -Asus MAXIMUS VI FORMULA Motherboard (on-board ethernet and wireless adapters)

  -Core i5 - 4670 K CPU

  -16 GB OF RAM

  -EVGA GTX 660 graphics card

  -Drive hard Seagate SATA 6 to 2

  -LiteON SATA DVD burner

  -Keyboard Logitech K120 and MS Mouse (the two USB)

  I have the original driver/utility DVD that come with motherboards and I have the updated drivers downloaded from the Asus site.  Each drive has 2 partitions.  Partition-1, drive C is for Win 7 OS, and it is marked as active/bootable.  Partition-2, drive D is where the updated motherboard drivers.  Both partitions are formatted with NTFS file systems.

  Thanks in advance.

  We have progress!  Found 112 updates and I started the download.  Thanks to André and J.W. Stuart.  It took like 5 to 7 hours to produce a list of the updates after you install the update rollup.  Either way, I found the following article, shortly before I met the answers here:

  http://www.MakeUseOf.com/tag/convenience-rollup-halfs-Windows-7-SP1-installation-time/

  After reading the article and the responses, I thought the rollup was the right path to take and ran with it.  I installed the battery update before the update rollup.  No errors were encountered during the installation of these two elements.

  Finally...

  1 - Microsoft needs to get their Tech chat based personal support off this dry and outdated script they use.  They need to know about the method of rollup.  However, the tech. I met in a chat session before coming here, was quite distraught and kept asking to do a remote desktop session, even if I refused 3 times.  A tech polished, very persistent but distraught.  The chat session was not my home PC on a PC at work.

  can 2 - I get a good Service Pack 2 for Windows 7, please?  Make available via a file down to local facilities, do so in Windows Update and download for Win 7 64 Service Pack 2 DVD image.

  3. he does really not take 5 + hours to produce a list of the necessary updates.  The Windows Update client should really be changed to show some real status beyond this silly green bar.  I think it is that a Client of Windows Update request is sent to Microsoft, and this request is pending.  The queue is probably priority based with Windows 10 get a higher priority on Windows 7 (Microsoft bias?).  Even if my theory of priority queue is correct, turn around time on the application is properly synchronized in a world of Gigabit Ethernet, 5 G WI - FI and cheap access broadband I have-net.

  4 10/Windows... too many questions/gripes to speak, but I leave it on the table.  Win 8/10 looks blocky with less of its border, for windows/AC tablets.  This isn't a modern user interface.  The user interface is dumbed-down and is reminiscent of Windows 3.11, or as it is a cobbled together collection of JavaScript in the browser user interface.  The menu start alone is a huge waste of time resources CPU and memory.  Windows 7 semi-translucides borders please.  No cost and no hassle.
