• Windows - XP Service Pack 1 has server not reachable

  Try to rebuild the PC of a disk of XP with Service Pack 1 only systems

  Instructions involve Service Pack 1a is required

  I have download the stub successfully, but when I try to run it, he tries to contact a USA based microsoft Server and fails.

  As a result, I can't add any other service packs until 1a is applied.

  The server is down or is there a problem with the heel?

  If your installation to service pack 1, you don't need service pack 1a.  The difference between sp1 and sp1a was the removal of the last of the "Microsoft Java Virtual Machine", Microsoft had to do as part of a legal settlement with Sun.  It makes no difference what the installation of sp2/sp3.

  Turn on the Windows Firewall and make sure you have an active up-to-date anti-virus application.

  If you have XP sp1, you can go directly to sp3 (you need not sp1a or sp2).  However, see the tips of long date MS MVP PA Bear (which assumes that your "XP systems disk" does NOT test any software particularly any trial Norton or McAfee software):

  HOW to get WinXP SP1 or SP2 fully patched after a "clean install":

  http://groups.Google.com/group/Microsoft.public.WindowsXP.General/MSG/a066ae41add7dd2b

  1. download & save the installer for WinXP SP3 on your desktop:

  2. read & take into account:

  3 connected as long as administrator, if necessary, double-click the saved file to install WinXP SP3.  Follow the prompts. Be patient and restart twice when the installation ends.

  4. make the resolution method 2 here (believe me):

  5. go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com . Install all required software, and then click CONTINUE. Select CUSTOM and scan | Install the critical updates of security offered. Still, follow all the instructions.

  [I do NOT recommend install IE7 through Windows Update.]

• After installation of Windows 7 Service Pack 1, it is not possible to pass the graphics more

  Hello

  I am running Windows 7, 64-Bit SP1 on a Lenovo T500 with switchable graphics.

  I downloaded and installed the Service Pack 1 manually (working on the Intel card) since it does not appear on Windows Update (now I now that it was because of outdated drivers Intel) - the installation went well. Later I tried to go to my Ati card but nothing happened and I realized that the Intel driver was apparently updatesd by SP1 (had a new design of the Intel tool). After playing around I got my Ati card active now but I can't switch back to the Intel card.

  I uninstalled all the drivers graphics and deleted all graphics devices from the Device Manager and then installed the latest driver from Lenovo and also tried with the latest driver from Ati/AMD directly (11.2), but nothing has fixed my problem.

  I can right click on my PowerManager battery and select the other card on "Switchable graphics", but nothing happens - no message error but also without change.

  Every help is very appreciated.
