Unable to download the Service Pack in Windows XP

I have Windows XP and download problems. It has been said that I have service pack 2 and service pack 3 required. can anyone help?

Original title: Windows XP

If you have XP service pack 2, you definitely need to service pack 3, but that may or may not address any problem you have.

What are you are experiencing download problems and how this disorder manifests?  If you get an error message, please provide the full text without paraphrase.

Windows Update no longer works until you have service pack 3 installed.

To determine which service pack you have

  • Hold down the Windows key and press the Pause break button (or right click on desktop and select properties)
  • Examine what is listed in the system section on your service pack level
  • Note your type of processor in the computer section

Assuming that you already have service pack 2, read this first-->

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950717

If your PC is a HP Pavilion and Presario, Media Center and has a processor AMD (see above), you must install this hotfix before installing SP3-->

http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?CC=UK&LC=en&DLC=en&softwareitem=PV-60484-2

Download service pack 3 here--> http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24

(ignore the warning on the subject of "it professionals and developers downloading and installing on multiple computers on a network"-which was written when it was still possible to get through Windows Update XP sp3)

    Hi, I have Windows Home Version 2002 and advises him to download the Service Pack 3 and decided to download Internet Explorer 8. It wouldn't let me download IE 8 and I got a blue screen. After apparently loaded, when it restarted check disk page it came and I noticed that a lot of pages in IE have been truncated. Now Internet Explorer or Firefox will load. Only Aol 9.7 will work. The update finally began to work with SP3, and while loading, the computer turns off. I did not disable Avast because I didn't know how. Please help it is very upsetting. It seems that every time that I update something it doesn't quite work.

    because sp3 is out for quite a long time your system has been widely exceeded and can have several problems.

  • Cannot download the language packs on Windows 7 Ultimate.

    I got a computer with Windows 7 Ultimate so I could download the language packs, but I can't seem to bring with it no more.  The directions say to go to Windows Update, I did and that would be a statement in there about it.  There was no instructions, so I downloaded every update available.  Still no statement.  What I am doing wrong?  Thank you.

    Thank you.  I had already done all that.  In fact, several times.  However, I repeated again and then rebooted the computer and repeated once again.  This time, Windows Update found more than updated.  After that, he continued to find updates whenever I want to install some and reboot until it finds another 49 updates more.  These updates included language packs.

    Thanks for me direction in the right direction.  I guess I'm just not patient enough.

    Hello

    May I ask how you are trying to install the Vista SP1?
    You try to first download it from the Microsoft Web site, and after a full download you are trying to install it?

    I have a Vista on my laptop too and I installed the Vista SP1 through the automatic update of the OS.

    The Vista SP1 update automatically, please go to-> Windows Update control panel.

    Here you must press the button install updates.

    The entire procedure will take some time, but everything should run automatically.

    Please read the information in the Windows Update forum and then post on this thread with some relevant information so that someone can help you.
