• Firefox supports Windows XP SP3?

  Now that we are in April 2015, Will Firefox provide some updates and fixes for Windows XP SP3 users? Google made Chrome support XP until April 2015, I cannot afford to buy a new computer and am looking for a new browser for my Windows XP SP3 laptop.

  Firefox is safe for the WinXP, using the same code in future versions of WIndows use, but because Windows XP does not receive security patches that Firefox is also safe that WinXP is safe. Slippery slope when you use an EOL operating system - and the web browser will not "fix" gaps with WinXP as well as's safety.

  This should eliminate a known problem that manifested by blocking windows update to do research without end and CPU at 100%, what is happening unless the most recent monthly cumulative IE security update is already manually downloaded and installed.  Second Tuesday of each month, this will be a ritual to perform or windows update crashes.  This is caused by a problem with the site Web of windows update is not a problem with your computer. Microsoft is committed to solve the problem which has continued for months.  Promises, promises.  The genesis of the issue took place in the summer 2013 and has been reported in this community after the updates of August, when it was reported that the last cumulative update of security for September KB2870699 be downloaded and installed manually set the CPU of fortification to Windows Update.  The linked thread shows this being reported in September and a month the well-known universal question went from bad to worse, with the installation of the updated cumulative security for IE being the fix manually.  The problem has been compounded by a bad Microsoft Fix it tool that was linked by Microsoft as the fix for Windows Update problems, but the difficulty bad it tool would then instantly to corrupt the registry of a computer of the user and cause an additional problem that would make the BITS and the two stop work, worsening the problem instead of fix windows update problem.  971058 is the famous set and there are other iterations that have the same bad code and cause the corruption of the same register.

  You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

  When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
  -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

  1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
  2. click on the System Restore tab.
  3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
  4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
  5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

  You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

  -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
  -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
  -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
  -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
  -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
  -Click OK.
  -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
  -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

• Windows XP SP3 Gets the Windows Update error message: '0x8024D007.

  Current system under Windows XP SP3 Gets the error message "0x8024D007" from Windows Update.  I tried methods 1 and 2 described in the Article 956701 but the same error occurs.  Also used REGSVR32 /u to unregister the WUPS2. DLL (mod date 2008-10-16), rename WUPS2. DLL to WUPS2. DLL.old, then copy WUPS2. DLL (mod date 06/08/2009) of a system of SP3 to update and record; This also fails with the error message "0x8024D007.

  Question: Can SP3 be removed and reinstalled without affecting existing applications that may have been installed under SP3?  I ordered SP3 on CD and that you plan to use it to reinstall.

  When you have access to the computer, your list includes:

  1. ask your son if IE7 had been installed before he did the repair facility a few years; and if that were the case, it uninstall IE7 before proceeding with the repair facility?

  2. see if a reset fixes the problem; CF. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058

  Hello, I have a partition of windows xp and windows vista in my laptop Acer. (Pre-installed Vista and XP as a secondary operating system).
  My questions are:

  > Is it OK to upgrade Windows XP SP2 to SP3 of Windows even, it is placed in a dual boot?
  > Don't install SP3 will be erase all content of Windows XP?
  > Is affected the partition of Windows Vista if I download Windows XP SP3 of XP SP2 Partition?
  > If I download the SP3 for Windows XP in the Microsoft.com site, it needs to be bootable and recorded in a CD or just run the installer from the hard disk automatically after installation?

  Thanks to all in advance!

  You're off topic of the Forum, you have published, which is dedicated to the beta Version of Microsoft Security Esentials

  However, I moved the yoru post.

  You can update to SP3 on a system XPSP2 dual boot Vista residence. You can not install XP * after * Vista for a Dual Boot system unless you use a 3rd Boot Manager part.
  Run the update to SP3 does not erase anything, it updates the XP system components.
  There will be no impact to your Vista installation on your system to dual-boot PC.
  SP3 is an update. It downloads an installation program analyzes your installation of XP and downloads the bits necessary to update to SP3 then install them after you have saved the files it will replace. You should be able to get SP3 easily by going to Windows Update in XP.
