Windows XP need to upgrade to SP2 or SP3
Hello
I have Windows XP SP1. I need to upgrade to SP2 or SP3. There are free downloads online. can I use them? or should I buy from you? Please me know
Thanks in advance
You don't need to buy anything. If you check in Windows updates, service packs must be put at your disposal. (Unless it's an illegal copy of XP).
If you installed SP1a, you can ignore the SP2 and go right to SP3. If SP1 is installed, to install the SP2 and SP3.
Before you install, disable your antivirus and anti-spyware such as Windows Defender programs. If you are using another firewall, disable and enable Windows Firewall in the control panel for the installation. Once a requires SP3 and working, you can activate the third-party firewall and put the Windows Firewall. Do not keep the two running.

I have Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1 Service Pack 2 Internet Explorer 6.
Last Friday, I got a virus and did a non-destructive recovery from my system. Before that, I had IE 7, anyway to extract the files from my PC?
Hello
The problem with viruses on the computer, I would say that you download and run a full scan of the system using the Microsoft Safety Scanner.
Here is the link for the Microsoft Safety Scanner which is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
Note:
Data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely.
which means that there is a risk of data loss.To download and install Windows XP SP3 see the link provided below.

I think it was SP3 crashed my pc, because it updated early December 2011 and has never worked since I recovered using tool system recovery but in XP sp1 and I can't seem to find how to get back to sp2.
grateful for pointers
You can upgrade directly from SP1 to SP3.Your system has currently no preinstalled, as trials for McAfee or Norton? It is advised to run their removal tools! Here are the links:Here are the detailed instructions for upgrading from SP1 to SP3:1. download the installation of SP3 and IE8 files. I prefer to keep these on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links to all the installation of three files:
http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)
http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)
And if you wish, download the Setup file of a good anti-virus program. I recommend Avira free Antivirus:
http://www.Avira.com/en/Avira-free-antivirus
2. disconnect Internet.
3. temporarily disable the automatic updates. To do this:
Start | Control Panel (switch to Classic view if not already selected). Automatic updates
4. install the SP3. Restart TWICE.
5 move to IE8. Restart TWICE.
6. install anti-virus software.
(What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).
7. make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should be).
(Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet. Update Antivirus program.)
8 visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates. Restart each time you are prompted.
9. reactivate the automatic updates.
After the back if you need guidance.

I have an ASP application developed with Interdev 6.0; part of .NET and using the time to design Windows server 2000 controls.
I need to upgrade the application to run on Windows server 2008 and IIS 7.0 ASP. I find some compatibility problems.
The part that I'm stuck at the moment is the creation of objects in the runtime that gives an error.
