Windows XP service pack 2 or 3 of the original Windows XP software

I have Windows XP original software but need Windows XP service pack 2 or 3 in an original disc to install on a Mac computer. I have to buy windows XP again?

You will need a full, commercial version of Windows XP to install on your Mac. You must also have the latest version of Boot Camp installed. ~ Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (that is to say, mail, security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ WARNING: MS MVPs represent or work for Microsoft

    There is no XP, 2003; If you want to upgrade your XP SP2 to SP3, download it here:-http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24

    2. Download and install the Windows Update Agent: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144/en

    Hello

    Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.

    It will also tell you here what Service Packs, if any, are already installed.

    Then, choose the download of 'bit' OK to use to install Service Packs, first of all the installation of SP1.

    Vista SP1 32-bit (x 86): http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30

    Vista SP1 64-bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21299

  • 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

  • Error when you try to install Windows XP Service Pack 3: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.

    Windows XP SP3 problem

    Recently, I met a problem with my PC and was forced to use the system recovery. Now I'm back to factory settings and try to install Windows XP Service Pack 3 on my computer. Windows Update won't work for me, that whenever I try to update I get [error number: 0x8024400A]. I think it's because I use Service Pack 2, or that's what I concluded after researching the problem, anyway.

    This is not my real concern, however. Because I could not get the update automatically, I tried to download and install the "Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT professionals and developers" myself. The first time I did it, I restarted the PC after the installation and was met with "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. "  I went into safe mode and went to a just system restore point before SP3 was installed, but now I don't know how to install it correctly without encountering this problem after reboot. I'm hardly the easy just stick with SP2 when there are potentially important available updates. How can I get Windows Service Pack 3 is installed on my PC?

    It's certainly interesting!

    If the cause of your problem is to have a HP PC with an AMD processor and an original image on your hard drive (and of course it sounds like this is the case), the solution should be to rename the file intelppm.sys and launch the sp37394.exe patch. Once done, the SP3 file that you downloaded from here:
    SHOULD work!
    I'm puzzled why there is no intelppm.sys file in your directory C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers.
    Since you recently returned to square one with your PC ("return to factory settings"), then you may as well run the patch from this page:
    and try the SP3 Setup file again.
    But, first, let's be absolutely sure that we are both using the same terminology. Please answer the following questions:
    1. have you safely backed up ALL your data?
    2. what method did you use to ride "back to factory settings? I think that your choices have been a destructive restore (full) and a (partial) non-destructive recovery. The first erases the disk and leave you with a pristine image and NOTHING ELSE (which means that all of your programs and data get deleted). The other (which does not always correctly) is supposed to leave programs and data intact.

  • Service pack update is stuck in the loop: 3 3 100%

    Hello.  My wife's cell phone is having this problem after trying to install Service Pack 1 for its Vista Home Premium.
    He joined 'Update 3 3 100% ', then he sits for a while before restarting the whole routine - again and again.  We tried to turn it off, and he took over just after turn it on again.  There is no error code.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Dave,.

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forums

    Press and hold the power button until your pc is turned off completely.
    then while the computer is turn on before it gets to the loading windows screen, press F8 key several times until you see
    These options
    (With the arrow keys and down, choose "Last known good configuration" then press enter)
    Safe mode
    Safe mode (with networking)
    Last known good configuration<>
    .
    .
    .
    If this does not work, restart your computer. Perform the same steps, but rather start in SafeMode with network. When you're on the desktop, try to do windows updates and stop and start again. After the updates installed successfully restart computer and boot up normally this time.
    When the computer comes back again to run updates again.

    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.

    Hardware and other drivers are too important.  Do you have updated those via the web page of the manufacturer of your system model?

    Get SP2 (manually) and save it to your desktop. (There's a link here.) [You are a COMPUTER professional for now.]  * Do not leave on a USB key if download you it on another computer and copy it to this computer in this way - put it ON the computer.

    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.]  * Do not leave on a USB key if download you it on another computer and copy it to this computer in this way - put it ON the computer.

    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.
