Win XP laptop: Update site offers ONLY SP3 update base - why

HI -.
I have an old Toshiba Techra M1 XP Pro SP2 machine running. When I try to update, the only proposed update is the update of the SP3 base.  Why the update site will not provide other updates?

Let me answer your question with a few questions of my own:

Automatic updates is enabled?

Why SP3 has not been installed now? [Computers running under that WinXP SP2 will NOT be offered for additional updates of critical security, automatic updates will stop working, and the Windows Update Web site will not be available after July 10, 2010, until that SP3 is installed.]

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)?

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)?

  • I connect my Canon camera, wiaacngr.exe opens a window asking me to select the program to start. But it offers only two options: M/S Office Word and scanner and camera wizard.

    original title:wiaacmgr.exe

    I found a lot on the Internet about wiaacngr.exe not opening not or refuses to recognize the camera.  My problem is almost the opposite!   Whenever I connect my Canon camera, by USB, my current laptop (Windows XP Pro SP3 of v5), wiaacngr.exe opens a window asking me to select the program to start.  But it offers only two options: M/S Office Word and scanner and camera assistant, neither of which I want to use.  If I close the window...  Not much, but it's a nuisance.  I would be happy if she has proposed to launch work stations.  I then click on the box "Make this every time" and will never see the window.  Otherwise, I'd be happy to remove the program completely.  Can someone tell me how to achieve one of these?  S ' Please!

  • Win 7 Pro update freezes, error 0 x 80070057

    I am rebuilding a laptop with Windows 7 Professional. The system has since reconstruction, frozen trying to analyze the system through the Windows Update process.  It is a reconstruction of the system in order to clear a Win 10 unwanted update.

    So far, I did the following:

    -Updated Windows Update for the latest version,

    -Run the update utility manual rebuild successfully;

    -Launch Windows Update Fixit repeatedly; It gives me a 0 x 80070057 unresolved error almost every time. When it fails, the update process still does not work and returns the error;

    -Check the registry settings with regedit; There is no entry in the Windows Update of WKLM section with the error indicated, and a search of the registry shows no other parameters with this error.

    -A tried to perform the loading process of manual update for the massive update (KB3125574); This has exactly the same symptoms; It hangs and never ends with a 24-hour window;

    -Run the utility of registry error correction; He returned without errors.

    I did a number of other things as well. But the update continues to crash. Can anyone offer advice on what I could try, or I could do?  Assistance would be appreciated.

    Thanks Richard for the update.

  • Bought a license for Photoshop LR6 perpetual, but Download Manager offers only CC

    Hello

    As of today, I bought a prepaid card for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 (Mac; (German).

    (1) I connect with my Adobe ID and enter the code displayed on the prepaid card.

    (2) adobe Web site tells me that

    -J' successfully bought my prepaid card

    - I have no need for a serial number

    -Can I download my product

    (3) the browser downloads a file Setup. The software seems to be a download manager.

    (4) the Download Manager does not have the product I bought. It offers only Lightroom CC and starts to download, which I canceled.

    (5) I tried to found and direct download links.

    It is: for the software downloaded via links direct you need a serial number, but I don't have it (see step 2).

    Also my account doesn't show any serial number for the purchased products.

    (6) I have not found any page on the Adobe website that would explain how can I download exactly the product I bought.

    (7) telephone support is not available over the weekend.

    I would be grateful any indication that would solve my problem.

    Thanks for reading so far.

    Best regards
    Eric

  • Why Tweets incorporated on news sites appear only in the empty boxes?

    Tweets incorporated on news sites appear only as empty boxes in Firefox, but not in Edge: it of a fairly new problem and can have coincided with the upgrade to Windows 10.

    Please try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.
