  Impossible to install programs, download 1628: failed to complete the installation after the installation of service pack 3. What I have to do.

  Assuming you meant WinXP SP3...

  Why the SP3 was not installed for over a year?

  What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?  Who were these applications that run in the background when you tried to install WinXP SP3?

  A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on this machine (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

• Reader of CD-ROM/DVD-Rom disappeared after the installation of Service Pack 2

  Why my CD-ROM/dvd-rom drive does not disappear after the installation of Service Pack 2 and how do I get it back? Because before I installed Service Pack 2 I had a problem of code 10 and tried deleting the thing fixing upperfilter, but that did not work, so is there anything else I can do. I have a HP Pavilion dv9000 and it is 3 years old.

  Thank you!

  Description of errors related to the 10 Code that generates the Device Manager in Windows on computers
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943104/

  Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
  a process that solves the problem.

  Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
  Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
  RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
  below.
  
  Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
  cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

  Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
  ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
  contacts data with a pencil eraser.

  Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
  manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

  ===============================

  Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
  Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
  do it right.

  Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
  the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

  Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
  the correct registry entries for your car.

  Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
  as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
  the parameters.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

  Use DevManView to locate the CD/DVD in the registry (be careful and do a prior Restore Point)
  nothing change) - find the DevManView device and then make a right click on it free in RegEdit.

• I have windows xp after the installation of service pack 3 I can only start in safe mode

  I have windows XP after the installation of service pack 3 I can only start in safe mode?

  Hello

  ·         You get the error message?

  ·         What happens when you try to start in normal mode?

  Method 1

  Windows XP can in every start Safe Mode by default. Even if you select the option Start Windows normally, it always starts in Mode without failure. IOW, you can't get out of safe mode.

  This happens if the switch/SafeBoot is added to the Boot.ini file. / SafeBoot parameter forces a boot in safe mode by using the specified parameters. The available parameters are:

  (a) minimal (b) network (c) safeboot: minimal (alternateshell) For more information about the boot.ini switches, see visualization and correction of the settings of the boot on x 86 systems RESOLUTION (a) click Start, run and type MSCONFIG (b) click the Boot.ini tab (c) If you have a dual-boot system, select the entry that is appropriate under the [operating systems] (d) in section downstairs, Startup Options uncheck / hisFEBOOT (e) click OK (f) restart Windows The entry/SafeBoot are removed from the Boot.ini file.

  Method 2:

  If the above method is not the cause, it seems that Service Pack 3 is not installed correctly.

  Step 1: You try to run the system restore from safe mode that will repair return the computer to the point while it was working fine.

• my computer guard reboot changes back several times after the installation of Service pack 2 on Vista.

  I tried to update my computer (Dell, Vista Home premium) with service pack 2 for Vista.
  But after completing the installation, there was an error when I tried to restart to complete update and work stoppage.
  So I restarted the computer and, instead of log on screen, the message [service pack was not installed recovery changes do not turn off your computer] appeared
  and then restart automatically.

  What should I do? I can still start windows safe mode. (the same message...)
  I have lots of important files it contains so really want to reinstall Vista.
  Please help me...

  Hi arkitekromero,

  Given that repair options did not work for you.  I suggest you try the method below.

  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk. Rename the Pending.xml file, and then change the registry notes read the following important notes before you use this troubleshooting method. Use this method to resolve the symptom of restart that is described in the "Symptoms" section, so that you can back up data before you reinstall Windows. You must use this method of troubleshooting only if you plan to back up data and reinstall Windows. Use this method only after trying other methods. Note If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer for instructions on how to continue. Use this method only if the computer has no restore points or if you cannot start your computer to a point where the system restore feature is available. After using this method, the following conditions may exist until reinstalling Windows: An update is being installed may not be installed correctly. Windows Update may not work correctly. If an update is installed, you may be unable to stop the installation process. You may be unable to enable and disable certain Windows functions in option. Certain optional Windows features may not work correctly. The computer may be in an unprotected state. To rename the Pending.xml file, and edit the registry, follow these steps. Start Windows Vista and go to system recovery options: Insert the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then restart the computer. When you are prompted to restart from the disc, press any key. When you are prompted, configure the language to install, time and currency formatsand keyboard or input method options that you want, and then click Next. On the Install Windows page, click repair your computer. In the System Recovery Options page, click the version of the Windows Vista operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next. Use the system recovery options to rename the Pending.xml file and modify the registry:

  1. In the System Recovery Options page, click command prompt.
  2. Type cd C:\windows\winsxs, and then press ENTER.
  3. Type ren pending.xml pending.old, and then press ENTER.
  4. Type regedit and press ENTER.
  5. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
  6. On the file menu, click load the hive.
  7. Look for the following folder:
     C:\windows\system32\config\components
  8. When you are prompted for a name, type Offline_Components.
  9. In the registry editor, find and delete the following registry subkey:
     HLKM\Offline Components\AdvancedInstallersNeedResolving
     HKLM\Offline Components\PendingXmlIdentifier

  Exit the registry editor:

  1. At the command prompt, type exit to quit the registry editor.
  2. Press ENTER.
  3. Click restart.

• Can I delete the download of Service Pack 2 before installing to free up disk space?

  I got a Vista Service Pack 2 downloaded a notification and is ready to install.  I have also received notification of other updates in the past which have been downloaded and ready for installation, but I chose not to install.

  • These downloads occupy disk space?
  • If so, can I delete to free up additional disk space?
  • I'm on a laptop with only 1.5 GB of free space after the disk compression.  A real problem.
  • If I can remove the updates downloaded, how can I find them?  And what is the procedure?
  Thank you

  I don't think it's a good idea to run Wista without installing SP2 and all the essential and important updates - but the decision is yours.  Here's how to delete downloads prior to installation if thay have not already installed it.

  Stop the automatic updates service

  Click Start, choose Run (or type it in the search field).
  In the run box, type services.msc.
  Click OK.
  Right-click the automatic updates service.
  Click on stop.
  Stopping the service will take a moment.

  Delete the content of the download folder
  Click Start. Choose run.
  In the run box, type %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
  Click OK.
  Open the download folder.
  Delete all the contents of the download folder (or just update you do not want to install)
  Close the window.

  Start the automatic updates service
  Click Start. Choose run.
  In the run box, type services.msc.
  Click OK.
  Right-click the automatic updates service.
  Click Start.
  Starting the service will take a moment.

  By removing the contents of the download folder - you have removed the downloaded updates (or those you selected).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• System do not hibernate after the upgrade to service pack 2.

  Power supply problem

  I have just upgraded to Vista service pack 2 and now cannot be said to my laptop Toshiba to Hibernate. I followed the instructions to turn on hybrid sleep help, but when I am developing sleep in advanced settings, there is no option to allow hybrid sleep. Any help would be welcome.

  Kind regards

  It may be the fault of the SP2...

  Remember, AFTER installing SP2, you did a disk cleanup?

  If so, you might have deleted the file hibernation during the disk cleanup routine.

  Use this tutorial to re-enable the hibernation:

  * Method One is to enable the hibernation.

  Earlier this year, I accidentally deleted the entire folder games to help my computer run a little faster. my intention was to delete all except Spider Solitaire games which I played regularly - I had Service Pack 2 is installed at the time. A few months later the computer shop installed Service Pack 3 on my computer after the failure of the hard drive to get rid of a suspicious virus after that I connected to the internet. I tried to reinstall Spider Solitaire via the Add/Remove Windows components, but he says I now need Service Pack 3 CD even though it already on my computer!
