Why I can't download and install windows xp SP3?
I am running Windows XP Pro SP2. My internet security program is Norton Antivirus online, provided by my ISP, Qwest... When I try to upgrade to SP3, my computer is getting ready for download, begins to check the download, then goes back to prepare for the download. Can I get a failure to download, with Ox80070005 error code I tried to download and install from the center of update and from the Microsoft Download Center, with the same results. Anyone can solve this for me, PLEEEEEEASE! My computer is an old PC HP Pavilion Media Center Desktop, model #m370n. I connect to the internet through a gateway of Qwest. Model # Actiontec PK5000 modem. Please let know me if more information is needed. Thank you.
[1] your solutions solved my problems!
[2] but, I still wonder if it is advisable to remove the update section of the section add/remove from the Control Panel, already installed updates if updates do not apply to the version and service pack of windows I use!
[3].. .when I was running Norton security, I kept getting messages from the use of the high memory for many programs I was running. So I guess what I'm asking is, how can I safely free up memory on my drive if I am at or near the limit of memory?
A1. Excellent! And kind of you, too much work.
A2. Well, this would be a "double edge" => If you uninstall an older update (in order to "save space") and then find that you need to uninstall a more recent update that replaced (replaced) the former for a reason, you wouldn't be able to do.
That being said, see this discussion archived in another forum (where I also "hanging out") for a few suggestions related to dispose of "unnecessary updates...
XP SP3: Post Installation Cleanup
http://aumha.NET/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=33827
A3. Let me ask you this: are seeing you this "high memory use" alerts now?
Speaking of which, you reinstall Norton Internet Security Online of Qwest or have you installed Microsoft Security Essentials to step #6 of my previous answer?
Remember that the available memory is not necessarily related to the amount of available disk space. If you want to read / learn more, see the section of the optimization of your computer here: http://aumha.org/win5/articles.htm
Very generally speaking, running Disk Cleanup every moment & should be all you need to do (especially if you no longer have an installed Norton application). Refer to the section of the free disk space up to here: http://www.microsoft.com/atwork/maintenance/speed.aspx

How can I download and install Windows XP SP3?
I currently have Windows XP, Service Pack 2 on my IBM ThinkPad.
I tried to follow the instructions on the Microsoft Web site, which is to install through Windows Update. When I go to the Windows Update page and click on the "Custom" button, it says "the website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The options provided below may help you solve the problem. "[Error number: 0 x 80244019]
I suspect it is because I am currently running Windows XP SP2; I'm not allowed to update because I have not yet updated.
The second 'Advanced' option is to install 'manually '. This takes me to a page titled "Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT professionals and developers. The title is a bit disheartening, but I was going to get anyway, but when I sailed to the bottom of the page, I read in the description: "DO NOT click DOWNLOAD if YOU ARE UPDATING a SINGLE computer. I can't just ignore a message written in all caps and bold!
In any case, could someone tell me why
- The updated release of Windows XP SP3 is, in terms of Microsoft, "more appropriate", and
- If it is not appropriate for my single installation on my ThinkPad user, so what do I do?
Thank you
Thomas

Maybe Dell recover disk will work, but it's 7000 mile more away. I've seen links to download install. ISO (I hope that its official?) but I would have no way to burn to CD, so my question is...

Why can I download and install all Oracle ATS products for free?
Why can I download and install all Oracle ATS products for free? When I installed, I was invited for all licenses, or buy anything.
I want to know why this is possible and if there are plans to charge it in the future?
I know not exactly produced ATS of Oracle, but many Oracle products can be downloaded and used free of charge for learning purposes.
As a general rule, if you intend to use the products in commerce, you must pay for a license, otherwise you illegally use.
This is usually described in the T & C that you agree to when you download the software.

Quote your full version of Windows (for example, WinXP SP3;) Vista SP1; Vista 64 - bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64 bit) when you post in a forum or a newsgroup. Please do it in your next reply.
Short story: If you do NOT live in one of the zones listed in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976098, you really need not to install this security update not any way so you can hide it just ("don't show me this update"). ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft
