What happens if I am just installed win xp sp3 on Windows xp sp2?
I just installed win xp sp3 & in properties, she changed my OS from sp2 and sp3. It makes no difference to my current operating system or not? (GOLD) Should I reinstall it?
Hi DawoodYousaf,
He is quite right, as you look in system properties. Windows XP Service Pack 3 is an important update for the operating system. It includes all updates previously released for the operating system. This update also includes a small number of new features. It also includes published earlier updates of security, performance and stability for Windows XP.
After you install this update, the properties of the system change and show that Windows XP Service Pack 3 is installed. So what you see is completely normal.

The instructions in the same article shows you how to restore the image if you need to do:
http://www.notebooks.com/2009/10/24/how-to-backup-your-installation-of-Windows-7/
One of the things that I recommend you do so after creating the system image is to change the name of the computer to something else, so if you decide to create another backup system image, it's not too write the original. You can use this even as a method for having multiple images of different systems.

I understand that to change my machine to win 8 to Win 7, I can either:
1. make a "downgrade" or
2 just install Win 7 on 8 to win.
Which way is better and why, please?
Thank you, Brad
Techinical, the term "downgrade" refers to the use of a Windows OS previous business class instead of the class deals currently available OS that is installed on your computer. So unless your computer came at HP with Windows 8 Pro, you're not really downgrading. If you have a class of consumer computer, your only option is to do a clean install of Windows 7 on Windows 8. No way is best, because there is no difference with regard to the way in which the operating system is installed. The only differnce has to do with the Microsoft license terms.
Please send Bravo

I just installed win 7 Ult 7 days. In the event viewer, I got 1000 errors and I was wondering where I can get help? TY
And the list continues to become more mistakes as the months go bye. Usually after 3 monts, my PC slows to a crawl, and I have to reinstall Windows & Ultimate!
It is very annoying. I'm not the smartest when it comes to the PC, but I know enough when I have a problem.
Now, while I was with PC Cleaner Pro, I allowed a representative to take control of my PC to help set, and he went into the event viewer and showed me the error 1007 in
the event viewer. He told me that only a technician 35 Microsoft could fix tis problem.
I would like to know how to solve these problems myself. If that means classes or tests, I'm ready to get there!
But for now, I just want to know how to clean and fix the errors in the event viewer
So if you could tell me please small whet you need to me to help him with this problem, I'm ready
It's really annoying tio do reinjstall windows every 3 months. So if you can help, I would be very happy VERY MUCH!
Sincreley,

Errors and warnings in the event logs are not usually a sign of a major problem.
Unfortunately, there are many technical support providers who refer clients to the event log in order to convince them to pay for questionable services.
Use of cleaners and Tune up utilities is not recommended. They can often cause problems.
Use the construct in Windows utilities
http://www.Microsoft.com/athome/Setup/optimize.aspx
Ensure that all remote access program is deleted from your computer.
Use a search engine to find information on all the events that occur frequently, specifying the event id and source, for example search for "eventid 512 capi2. Try to avoid scam sites that are always asked by this kind of research. Stick to sites of Microsoft or somewhere like www.eventid.net which is a good source of free information.

I have win 98se, win xp sp3 and Windows vista 64-bit PCs, and I want to share files & printer... printer is connect in xp or 98se, well, what is possible... currently, I've got these between vista and xp, which is available when win 98se involved?
Two ways are participatory computers in a windows environment, a working group and a _. You can fill in the blank?
Virtual private networks have little to do with the domains or working groups.
I don't think that WIndows 98 can join to a domain. All versions of WIndows, you mention should be able to participate in a working group, however.
In my opinion, the best way to share a printer is to use a printer connected to the network

"Not enough space" error windows install during the installation of Windows vista SP2 software
Original title - cannot install Windows Installer 3.1 on Windows Vista Home Edition
I use windows vista home with service pack 2 installed. I have a custom made software. Before installing this software, I need to install 4 i.e. cystal reports, dotnet, report viewer and Windows Installer 3. I was able to install the first 3, but the windows installer fails, it is said to be "saturated". I also tried MSI 4.5 but of no use. My software runs well on Windows XP. The interesting thing is that I return this software a year and I installed it on vista and it worked fine. Now I have re-installed windows vista on my computer and had updated. Now this problem. Could there be a reason why some update to windows vista, I installed now wasn't there last year that causes the problem. Can anyone help.
Hi tbilal22
Windows Installer 4.5 comes pre-installed with Windows Vista and Windows Vista SP1. Please refer to the article for more information-http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/942288
It is possible that the old software, it is not compatible to be used with Windows Vista SP2. I suggest you try software installation by using the Windows Vista or XP on Windows Vists SP2 compatibility mode and check if you are able to solve the problem.
Compatibility mode is used if a program written for an earlier version of Windows does not work properly. Then, you can use the program compatibility Wizard to change the compatibility of the program settings. To manually change the settings of a program, use the individual program's compatibility tab
You can check the link for assistance on compatibility mode - mentioned below

Recently, I installed on my computer laptop win vista 32 bit, it was given to me by a friend to fix my computer that he did! ) in hand, my computer was not working. Now, everything is great, I can't get my WiFi to turn on or display anything. I used to be able to tap the orange wifi switch and it turns blue now, it will not allow me
Hello:
If the network controller device is missing, then the driver installed and you should now see an Intel 5100 WiFi card listed in the category network adapters in the Device Manager.
You should now be able to connect to wireless internet.
The other two drivers you posted the ID for are the following:
First install it and reboot.
The other is the graphics card that needs a driver.
One of the unknown devices is probably this one...
Another unknown devices is probably this one...
You must display the hardware for the 3rd ID like you did the others. If it is listed as being unknown, it does not start with PCI\VEN. Right after the top line of characters.

Satellite A500 - 17 X: how to install Win XP mode for Windows 7 64-bit
I recently bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A500-17 X computer.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I've since upgraded professional. I am trying to download and install the XP Mode from Microsoft site.I left a few pieces of software for most of astronomy who worked under XP but will not install on Windows 7.
From the website of Microsoft, I selected Professional 64-bit in the drop-down list.When I tried to install the file, a message pops up saying: + is not a valid Win32 file +.
So I downloaded the 32-bit professional file.
When I tried to install this same message popped up. Of after the videos on the site web of Microsoft, this should be easy.Anyone know what I'm doing wrong.
Thank you.Greyhound
Hi mate
As I see you are using the Windows 7 64-bit operating system.
In my opinion, you cannot install or create a Win XP 32 bit mode because Windows 7 is 64 bit OS!In my opinion, you would need a Win 7 32 bit OS in order to create a Win XP 32 bit mode!
See you soon

Hello
What makes them different? In addition, one of these facilities/re-facilities removes everything, and one of them that keeps the files, applications, and settings?
Thank you
Assuming you're on win 10 (you do not specify) there are three things you can do
Refresh > keeps your files and restores system files and folders. (retains most settings)
Reset > you delete files and folders and restores the original operating system (keep anything)
Pure install > remove everything and re - install a Virgin copy of the operating system (keep anything)

What happens if I don't update updated security in my Windows Update
I had a lot of conflicts with windows update in the past and got these errors B.S without reason and had to spend days on end, trying to fix it. Help tech responds that he fixed, but now, years later, I can't update Java, I can't update Adobe Air, now it's 6 update windows with a stupid mistake again. I have no idea to solve my problem, and the response received is now shadow.
I mean you go there, I'm sure that you can choose your answer choice tech but they automatically connect an and then some have no profile pictures, most have so long to TALK? and then some just do shady stuff when they distance controlling me.

How to use a Mac to download firefox.exe Flash drive to install Win XP SP3 box?
Recommended to install Firefox on a new Acer Aspire 1 (ZG8) with Win XP 2002 SP3 without configuring MS Explorer. I want to do by downloading Firefox on a USB key, then transfer it to Acer and settle there. But my other computer is a Mac Book Pro (OS X 6.8), and Mozilla only offers me a Mac version. How to use the Mac to download an .exe file of windows on a portable flash drive? If I use a distro Linux and VirtualBox with my Mac, that would allow me to choose the right download for MS Win XP 2002 SP3?
Under the button ' download free Firefox ' it should be 'Systems and languages', which gives you links to download Firefox in any language for Linux, Mac and Windows. Here is the link https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
