Windows Xp professional x64bit edition

I recently discovered that some software companies need to have the latest update for your operating system. In my particular case, I need Service Pack 3 for my o/s.

My current operating system is: "Microsoft Windows Xp professional x64bit Edition 2003 Service Pack 2 Version.

Microsoft will produce a SP3 for the o/s version, if they have, where and when can I get it?

I received a download link and downloaded SP3 file but, I won't install unless I don't know what the SP3 for my o/s version.

Is the file name "WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3 - x 86 - ENU"

Taken directly from the Microsoft Web site: there is no SP3 for the 64 bit version of Windows XP. If you run the 64-bit version of Windows XP with Service Pack 2, you have the latest service pack and will continue to be eligible for support and receive updates until April 8, 2014 (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/help/learn-how-to-install-windows-xp-service-pack-3-sp3).

Seems strange that the 32-bit version would be a service pack, but not the 64-bit version.  Because the 32-bit service pack was released more than two years ago, I wouldn't have much hope that they will release a 64-bit version.

  • Firefox works with Windows XP Professional-64 edition?

    I'll set up a new machine to run some program that doesn't work on Windows 7, but works on Windows XP Pro - 64, and some that will run on the 32-bit version. It is a dual-boot configuration, and I'm having a hard time getting IE to work. Took me time to try Firefox, but I can't access the Internet with IE. Is there a version of Firefox that works with Win XP Pro 64 bit?

    Firefox is a 32-bit executable. I'm not aware of any problems works on 64-bit Windows versions.

    Please note that 64-bit plugins won't work in Firefox, and you may need to do a few installs additional to get 32-bit and 64-bit plugins depending on how they have been packaged by their publishers.

    The Asus P8P67 Deluxe Motherboard will be a socket LGA 1155 with Intel P67 chipset with a second generation core i7 I want to run Windows 7 or Windows 8 (I am currently trying the beta version).  The reason for the x 64 Edition is due to the large amount of RAM it will support what someone has an answer?  Thank you.

    As long as the hardware manufacturers for any material that you plan to use have support/drivers for Windows XP; Yes.

    Insofar as the processor - Yes.

    Motherboard - Yes.

    So, as long as your other equipment (whatever they are) is still supported under Windows XP Professional 64-bit Edition, you should be fine.

    Hello Roman

    Thanks for the clarification on the "new computer".

    If, as you say, the card mother and any other material is compatible XP then by all means install Windows XP on this machine. As you said you "my idea is to get the XP and keep as long as possible, even after support ceased in 2014, because I like it better than any other operating system." You have been made aware of possible problems concerning the lack of support and you are ready to accept those. The only problem is to get a copy of Windows XP from a reliable source. Unfortunately, I can't help you with that. Personally, I prefer to get my software direct from the manufacturer or by a reliable retailer. As no other retailer has copies of Windows XP you are, unfortunately, has left the search for credible resource on the web.

    My note to the subject of sticking with Windows 7 or 8 on your new computer has been in regards to your initial comment to a "new computer". I have two computers that are running Windows 7 and Windows 8, but then again maybe I need the additional machines and you do not have.

    I have to admit that Windows XP is a great operating system, and to be honest, I also use it on a virtual machine on one of my PC. However it is more for support reasons than the generalization on my part.

    Windows 7 get some getting used to, but I found it a usable operating system. Windows 8, however, is an altogether different beast. You love or hate it and judging by the comments on the Microsoft forums many people hate everything simply. Yet once I used it since the first beta of the operating system, so I'm used to it.

    I agree with voluntary J on Windows XP Mode. This is useful if you have applications that are not compatible with Windows 7. However, as you said in your reply to J to volunteer, you must upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. You can run Windows XP on a virtual machine, with, say, Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 (as a free option); However, you should always buy a copy of XP and new Virtual Machines have some restrictions, especially when it comes to certain types of hardware connected to your PC. Maybe your best bet, if you prefer to upgrade would be to use Windows XP from Windows 7 mode.

    I hope that you succeed in your quest for a reliable copy of Windows XP

    Hello JothinVedere

    After you have re-installed Windows XP, you can go on the site Web of Norton and download the software from their part. Once you have downloaded it you should be asked for an email or an account that you configured when you first bought Norton, log. After that, Norton is turned on with the rest of the time for your subscription should be displayed. If you have further questions about Norton, you can click on their link to support here. I hope this helps.

  • MS offers windows XP Professional free for customers windows XP Home Edition?

    MY PC in the year 2002 came with windows XP Home Edition? But it was much slower compared to windows XP Professional. Many users for win XP prof especially pyrated version. PL Council MS will offer win XP Professional without cost or at a price of offordable?

    There is actually no difference in speed between XP Home and XP Pro on a system clean and well-maintained, with adequate equipment. XP Pro can still be bought on Amazon, and perhaps other places. Looking right now, I see a full retail XP Pro on Amazon for $259. I would stay away from eBay and Craig's list for this sort of thing.

    No, XP Pro is not available for free from Microsoft.

    A better option would be for you to discover why your XP Home is slow instead.

    Some reasons for the slow pace of the computer:

    1. computer has not been maintained - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Maintenance

    2. the computer is infected with the malware - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

    3. the disk is too full. Remove useless stuff, uninstall unused programs. Do not forget to save!
    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Backing_Up

    4. flaky third party software. Toolbars and modules are particularly guilty in this area. Uninstall toolbars (Google, Yahoo, ISP brand, etc) and look at what modules are in use in your browser (s).

    5. computer has too many unnecessary programs/processes running in the background. Manage your Startup:

    For XP - How to troubleshoot using the Msconfig in Windows XP utility - http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310560
    The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx

    For Vista/Windows7 - Start Orb > Search box > type: msconfig and when it appears in the results area above, right-click and choose 'run as administrator '. Autoruns is also very useful.

    6. the user runs an inflated/invasive such as Norton and McAfee antivirus program. Replace it with a better program. I recommend NOD32 (commercial) or Avast (free). Avira is also good, but the free version has an unpleasant reminder screen (Google for instructions on how to disable it). The user can also run several real-time antivirus/firewall/security programs.

    7. the user has installed new programs that are processor and/or memory-intensive (Photoshop, AutoCAD, Mathmatica or similar) and does not have the power of the equipment.

    8 drive fails and is in PIO Mode. It's very much slow (like being in 1985). See Hans-Georg Michna here information - http://winhlp.com/?q=node/10

    In addition to the above, see also http://miekiemoes.blogspot.com/2008/02/help-my-computer-is-slow.html

    Note: If the computer has always been slow, in addition to the above user may have bought a machine with a less powerful processor and not enough RAM (memory). The normal use of the computer, 512 MB to 1 GB is sufficient for XP; Vista should have a minimum of 2 GB; Windows 7 is less demanding than Vista, but the minimum of 2 GB should also be used.
