  Relax and breathe.

  FIRST: Uninstall IE8 and IE7 if they are installed.  Back to all the way back to IE6.  You want other patches before you get those.  Reboot after doing this.

  You are not the first to ask questions about how to upgrade a clean Windows XP - not even installation in the last week. In fact, I will just cut and paste my answer here... here:

  Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

  Install it.

  Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

  Get SP3 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]

  Install it.

  Then restart at least a couple of times for a few minutes between each restart.

  Download at least Internet Explorer 7 (if it is not Internet Explorer 8).

  Install it.

  Reset.

  Now, try to get the updates through the normal web page (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) and see how much more you can get (100 +) and keep checking until you no longer have.

  Back - let everyone know if it worked for you.

• upggrading a windows xp pro service pack 3 with the new card mother and pure install using the original disk of xp with service pack 2

  I have an auto build Windows XP pro with service pack 3 that is upwards and I feel the need to upgrade to a new motherboard and processor causes memory and I know that when I do a clean install with my original disk, I lose service pack 3 that will then lose me the Microsoft support is anyway that I can backup service pack 3 for use with what will be considered a brand new computer

  See you soon

  The site is authentic.  You have two options when you do your relocation:

  Method 1

  1. Download SP3 form the Microsoft site and burn it to a cd or copy it to a flash drive.
  2. Reinstall Windows with your original Windows XP CD.
  3. Use the copy of SP3 that you burned on the CD or copied to the flash drive and update the machine to SP3.  Note that if you have an original CD of 'gold' of Windows XP without service pack that you install SP1a or SP2 before you install SP3, SP2 is available here , download and save it with SP3 before making your relocation.

  Method 2

  1. Download SP3 from the Microsoft site and it wake to your Windows XP CD.
  2. Install Windows XP with your slipstreamed CD and your installation will be in SP3, when installation is complete you will not need to install service packs, you'll just have to do some other updates that have been released after SP3.

  The http://lifehacker.com/386526/slipstream-service-pack-3-into-your-windows-xp-installation-cd is legitimate, it only gives you instructions on how to create and burn a CD of SP3 slipstreamed Windows XP.  If this seems too daunting then use method 1 to install Windows.

  Both methods are very good but method 2 allows a nicer cleaner installation, everything is installed to SP3 level and there are no remnants of previous service packs.  While creating the slipstreamed CD may appear to be a time consuming task, in the end, it will be a time saver and afterwards if you ever have problems with the installation of Windows you may need this cd SP3 slipstreamed to all repairs on the installation.  You can create the SP3 cd now and do it ready and at hand for future needs.

• Can I delete the download of Service Pack 2 before installing to free up disk space?

  I got a Vista Service Pack 2 downloaded a notification and is ready to install.  I have also received notification of other updates in the past which have been downloaded and ready for installation, but I chose not to install.

  • These downloads occupy disk space?
  • If so, can I delete to free up additional disk space?
  • I'm on a laptop with only 1.5 GB of free space after the disk compression.  A real problem.
  • If I can remove the updates downloaded, how can I find them?  And what is the procedure?
  Thank you

  I don't think it's a good idea to run Wista without installing SP2 and all the essential and important updates - but the decision is yours.  Here's how to delete downloads prior to installation if thay have not already installed it.

  Stop the automatic updates service

  Click Start, choose Run (or type it in the search field).
  In the run box, type services.msc.
  Click OK.
  Right-click the automatic updates service.
  Click on stop.
  Stopping the service will take a moment.

  Delete the content of the download folder
  Click Start. Choose run.
  In the run box, type %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
  Click OK.
  Open the download folder.
  Delete all the contents of the download folder (or just update you do not want to install)
  Close the window.

  Start the automatic updates service
  Click Start. Choose run.
  In the run box, type services.msc.
  Click OK.
  Right-click the automatic updates service.
  Click Start.
  Starting the service will take a moment.

  By removing the contents of the download folder - you have removed the downloaded updates (or those you selected).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• service pack 2 download the 8007371C error message

  What should I do to get this service pack to download? Suggestions please. I tried 3 times now and has failed every time.

  The only thing I can say is that you perform a repair - installation

  Run a repair installation will restore the current installation of Windows to the version of the installation DVD. This also requires the installation of all the updates that are not included on the installation DVD.

  Note Run a repair installation will not damage files and applications that are currently installed on your computer.

  To perform a repair of Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 installation, follow these steps:

  1. Close all applications and restart the computer.
  2. Insert the Windows Vista DVD or Windows Server 2008 DVD into the DVD drive of the computer.
  3. In the settings window, click install now.

     Note If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:

     1. Click Start and type Drive: \setup.exe in the box start the search .

        Note The placeholder drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD.

     2. In the list of programs , click Setup.exe.
     3. In the settings window, click install now.
  4. Click connect to get the latest updates for installation (recommended).
  5. Type the CD key if you are prompted to do so.
  6. Click Yes to accept the Microsoft software license agreement.
  7. On the which type of installation do you want? of the screen, click upgrade.
  8. When the installation is complete, restart your computer and try to install the updates again

  NB: As you already have SP1 for Vista - step 7 (method for Windows Vista), the * UPGRADE option is not available because SP1 has been installed. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948537

  Make sure that you back up your important things first. Then run Windows Update to catch up on all the updates up to SP2.

  When you're offered SP1 install, then continue until you're offered SP2 and then install it. I hope that all is well.

  Uninstall SP1

• Upgrade XP Home Service Pack 3 (OEM) for XP Pro Service Pack 3 (full ed., teaching license)

  I've been reading and research on the Microsoft forums and support sites, and nobody has provided definitive guidance on how to upgrade XP Home to XP Pro on-site (both editions are SP-3). I have too setups/configurations and software to deal with the headaches of manually resettlement at the moment. I intend to t perform a upgrade in-place to Vista at a later date. However, the problem I have both of these solutions is that I don't see an 'Upgrade' option when I boot from XP Pro Service Pack 3 installation disk. I only repair and installation (clean) options. (I tried both OEM and educational versions licensed full disk to install XP Pro SP3.) Both are legal copies).

  While many people have suggested that there is little difference between Home and Pro of XP versions (with the exception of the connectivity of remote and networking Assistance or domain), there is a huge difference in the types of programs that will run the home edition! Experts seem to overlook the fact that a lot of business applications and business, including some of Microsoft applications, do not work on the publishing of Windows! Therefore, I need to convert my existing OEM of XP Home Pro installation, in order to continue to work from home. Also, the so-called 'hack', I found on Microsoft Support that tricks the registry into thinking that XP Home is really Pro doesn't seem to work. I still see "XP Home" listed on the general tab of the system properties in Control Panel.

  I read on the page of Support of XP it is possible to perform this upgrade. But every support response said to start from the installation disc and click the upgrade option. Obviously, something wrong here. I'd appreciate it if someone could please tell me/us how to proceed. Thank you in advance for your help!

  Well, if you have studied all the possible options.  then the one I have is evidenced by 'research to the outside of the box'.

  You can repartition your hard drive into 2 discs or add a second hard drive to the computer.  essentially if you only have a c drive, then you must add a d drive to your system.

  then install xp pro on the secondary drive.   In doing so, you will have two operating system on your computer to start from, alias double boot.

  on the xp pro drive, you can install only the specialty programs that require the "pro" version while retaining the ability to start your oem with all your standard programs intact.

  of course you also have the possibility of 'nuk-clear', then to format the drive and wipe "oem" in order to install the 'pro '.   but frankly, the dual-boot method is better by far.

• Which Service Packs I have install during the installation of operating system?

  I intend to do a clean install of Windows XP Edition family on a replacement hard drive.  At this hour I'll also install updates recommended.  Should what Service Packs I install?

  Microsoft sites are ambiguous or incomplete information.  From my reading, it seems that I need to install the Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2 to install Service Pack 3.  And yet the Service Packs are supposed to be cumulative updates, containing all updates released before the release of the latest Service Pack.  Have to install only the Service Pack 3 would be my preference, which would do the trick.

  What installation plan would give me the desired result (a nice, clean, full of XP and all installation updates recommended) more effective in terms of installation time and using the hard drive?

  After installation, remove the files?  It seems to me (and perhaps I got wrong this impression) that the Service Pack and the individual updates of XP I have installed in the past have left a huge amount of files on my hard drive, the files after successful installation, I might be able to remove without adverse consequences.  My feeling is that Microsoft (and many other reputable software providers) are happy to add you to their software, but they clean up after themselves.

  If you hired a Carpenter to build new cabinets in kitchen at home, he would not let the old cabinets, scrap lumber, loose nails and screws and tools scattered in your kitchen.  It would be to clean up all this in the context of completing the work.  I don't want to be unfair to Microsoft (in case I'm wrong about what they leave on my machine), but if they leave their installation files or obsolete older files (from earlier and now supplanted the Service Packs) on my machine, they are not complete the project.

  Your advice on what to install and how to clean up after installation will be appreciated.  Thank you.

  You must download and install Windows XP Service Pack 3.  Afterwards, visit Windows Update and download available later updates. Carey Frisch

• Windows XP Service Pack 2 is installed correctly, and then on reboot I get a blue error screen or green

  Windows XP Service Pack 2 is installed correctly, and then on reboot I get a blue error screen or green.

  The only way that I could finally restart, was safe and then I restored to before I installed SP2.

  WinXP SP2 must have been installed more than four years ago.

  If you haven't installed SP2, you could not possibly have a functional application of the antivirus installed so see...
