Where can I get an upgrade to a level of XP that will allow me to upgrade service packs and offer a support band?
first version of xp do not have access to broadband
I reformatted my old computer as a second computer to the new computer that we received. the version of XP that came with the computer is so old, it of broadband and does not have the ability to get online (FIOS). so I know I need to get by the next generation of XP loaded. This version has the service pack 1a. This download on CD or a stick to get the XP computers at a level that I can continue the XP upgrade online?
Thank you
Stuart
Two different questions, Stuart.
1. by all means, it is certainly important to install SP3 and then install all updates of up-to-date security post-SP3. It's absolutely crucial to do this will greatly reduce you your chances of getting malware!
2. However, the SP3 upgrade won't fix your lack of Internet connectivity. You have not provided enough information. We do not know how it is physically connected for example or what are the settings of your router. The most likely reason for what you describe is still, you forgot to install the drivers for your hardware! Once you do this, your Ethernet connection should work. (If not, then he is one of the other issues mentioned above.)
So, here's your homework:
1 let us know the brand, model and model number of your old PC.
2. tell us the method you to "reformat".
3. go to the Device Manager and let us know of all the elements that have question marks next to them. There are several ways to do so. One way is to right click on desktop and select manage, then click on Device Manager.
4. If you can do it yourself, visit the web site of the manufacturer of the PC to download the drivers you need to install later. If not, don't worry; We will help you.
5. temporarily disable the automatic updates (using the control panel).
6 download the SP3 Setup file so that you can install it offline later:

7 download the IE8 Setup file so that you can install after installing SP3 also when you are offline:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Internet-Explorer/downloads/IE
8. also, let us know what anti-virus program you plan to install. This installation file needs to be on hand as well. After the back if you want suggestions/advice. For now, I will recommend you avoid Norton and McAfee and use Avira AntiVir or Microsoft Security Essentials.
Once you have installed the necessary drivers, you will be able to physically disconnect from the Internet, install SP3, reboot, install IE8, restart TWICE, install your antivirus program, physically reconnect to the Internet, then download and install all post-SP3 security updates. To do this, go here:
http://windowsupdate.Microsoft.com/
Note that some people have had problems with these updates lately. If this happens to you, too, you must first install the standalone Update Agent:
Finally, turn on the automatic updates (in Control Panel).
(More involved than you thought it would be, huh?)

Where can I get a copy of the Windows XP installation for my sister. His was a virus and I had to format the drive. It's a registered computer. I have it ready for the operating system but I need to download a copy so I can retrieve my CD-ROM/DVD-Rom drive, so I can then bring to its system and reinstall the XP and then if she wants that we can get a windows 8. I use windows 8 on this system, I bought a few months ago and it's satisfying, but I don't understand why when I got it I could do things like using the keyboard of the screen with my fingers, but now I can't even use the keyboard mouse. It won't work at all. In a way I found it better that way at the beginning because I do a lot of typing and it would freeze until I was constantly stressed. I returned to Windows 7 mode I think but not sure. All I know is that these two things have never worked correctly, so if they are still under warranty I will bring to the Future Shop and maybe they can fix it. I wish I could turn on and off easily so it does not interfere with my writing and study of a language second.

I have 4 computers, including 2 run on Windows XP with Service Pack 3. I have spent these systems to the task to read all of my PDF files which I've collected from my recent academic career. I want to use the desktop system is an old Dell Optiplex GX240 with Acrobat Reader 4.0. The other Windows XP System I have is an old HP laptop with Adobe Reader 8.1.4 installed. I want to update both systems to the latest version which is available for Windows XP w/SP3 installed. Then, because I don't want these online system, it would be possible for me to get a copy of the Adobe Reader software I need on a CD-ROM? -DeWitt Ken, a veteran of the 68-year-Young Viet Nam and recent College graduate...

Where can I get a CD for XP Boot disk?
I have a COMPAC Presario SR1620NX than the HDD (C: D & had completely erased (including the partitioning).) She now does came with a white screen with the cursor displayed in the upper left corner. I can't access the screens configuration or bios (F1, F10 or escape etc.). I suspect that startup programs are no longer present. Where can I get a boot disk for this machine so that I can use it again. It doesn't have a floppy drive.
Hello:
Would you be kind enough to tell me what a CD-Rom for XP Boot disk is?
Are you referring to a XP OEM installation disc?
There is no distinction between desktop HP. There is only one recovery bootable image the operating system disc set factory and delivered programs installed on desktop computer HP, this is why I have proposed a set of recovery disks.
The first disc of the set of recovery disc is bootable.
The only PC I know that come with a single OS install disc is Dell.
If you can get a family Dell XP Edition installation disc, which would also work on your PC, but you must change the product key and enter in the sticker of COA MS on your PC.
