Windows XP install Service Packs 1, 2 and 3

I have a secondary old Dell desktop PC. The Intel graphics chips and drivers were originally produced by Intel only for XP or XP Pro for this configuration of office. I had to reinstall my XP Pro HARD drive problems. XP Pro installed OK, no problem. I have need of SP 1, 2, and 3 to update the operating system to improve the graphics, who are in default of 640 X 480 16-bit VGA mode of operation.

I use this machine for a program of database of previous flat file called Q and A 4, I need. I don't use internet on this computer. XP Pro tells me I can't install Service Packs without an internet link to Microsoft. Is it possible to install the three service packs for XP Pro without having access to the internet?

Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

Here is the link for SP2

http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?ID=28

you don't need to install SP1 first, and you only need to install this if your relocation was not already SP1 or later version.

Here is the link for SP3

http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?ID=24

You can go straight for this installation if you already have a service pack installed.

Here's the downloadable installers so obviously, you will need to download on another PC and save it on a USB key (for example) or other portable media. The links take you directly to a download prompt. If you see something Microsoft Advisor downloads are for networks or professionals to ignore it.

This will not only fix your graphics problems. You need to get the drivers for your graphics card in the manufacturer's Web site. If you want further help let us know more details about your system Dell (serial number and/or range/model).

Graphics drivers are probably not the only drivers you are missing. Install the Intel chipset drivers above all other device drivers. Go to the Dell support site and enter your service tag to get a list of drivers

http://www.Dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/products/

You can download them in the same portable medium that you use for the service packs.

You should have received a Dell CD with all the drivers for your system on it, but, from my experience, many people "lose".

    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.

  • XP - cannot install Service Pack 2 and 3 in order to install anti-virus protection.

    I need to install Service Pack 2 and 3, in order to install a virus program.  I currently do not have one, as my Norton Antivirus program should be uninstalled.  I can't get the Windows Update page to download.  Is there another way to get to this download?  I want to get do it as fast as possible, as I am currently without any virus/spyware protection.

    Thank you!!

    If SP2 to SP3, is not installed, you could not possibly have a functional application of the antivirus installed and missing a value of more than four years of critical security updates! It is not a chance in h * that SP2 & SP3 will install with your computer in its current state, Erica.

  • Windows install Service Pack 3

    A long time ago when I received the automatic update to Service Pack 3 and tried to install it, the update failed (Error 1706: file PRORET.) MSI not found).  I do not have the disk that he wanted me to insert to find the file and my attempts to find help on the web has as well.  Since then, when I open Excel, Windows Installer gets up and tries to install Service Pack 3.  If I wait until it I fail can then try again and succeed to open my spreadsheets but I have to wait for the Setup program to do its thing.  Is there anyway to prevent that from happening in the first place?  Dare just uninstall Windows Installer?

    Right click on desktop & select Properties: Windows version which is displayed on the general tab that results (for example, Windows Professional Service Pack 2)?

  • Cannot install service pack 4 Windows on Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2

    I have recently installed windows service pack 3 and now when I try to install service pack 4, I get this
    Error installing Service Pack 4:
    The version of windows that you are trying to install does not match the update you are trying to install
    My Info to the computer:
    Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2
    Toshiba
    Tecra
    Intel (R) Celeron (R) M
    processor 1.50 G

    No, it means that you are misunderstand any error message you see.  There is no service pack 4 for Windows XP.  All reputable antivirus meant for Windows XP software will install on Windows XP service pack 3.  If you have problems to install antivirus software, your computer may already be infected.

    You must install one antivirus resident program.  Do not install the Avast and AVG; Choose a.  You can have other anti-malware of on demand software.  The best of them is MalwareBytes AntiMalware (free).

    If you would like more information, please proceed as follows:

    1 display the full text, without paraphrasing, of any error message you get when you try to install a software of your choice.

    2. after the URL (link) of the Web site from which you downloaded the antivirus installation package.

    3. click on start, then run, then type the following command in the "Open" box and click OK
