Windows XP SP1 installs because the server is not responding

My wife has just died so I used the restore cd provided with his old office xp emachines to get rid of all the files to give to his grandson directed.

Today, however it will be not updated. I tried to install SP1a that fails because the server does not and SP2 that s just a txt file.

Anyone got any ideas how I can go back to SP3 on the computer?

It is 32-bit and is not too powerful but BIF run before SP3

My condolences.

If the restore CD you have to sp1, you need not sp1a or sp2.  You can go directly to sp3.  SP1a is the same as sp1, but the removal of the "Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (JVM from MS).  Microsoft released XP sp1a as part of a settlement with Sun Microsystems patent infringement (then owner of Java).

First read this: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#! msg/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/quMfqk8Eb94/K93XrUGuZqAJ (if you do not want a click, the text is reproduced below):

HOW TO get WinXP SP1 or SP2 fully patched after a 'clean install': http://groups.Google.com/group/Microsoft.public.WindowsXP.General/MSG/a066ae41add7dd2b

1. download & save the installer for WinXP SP3 on your desktop:
http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5b33b5a8-5E7...

[Yes, you can jump SP2 if you run WinXP SP1.]

2. read & take into account:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/harrywaldron/archive/2008/05/08/Windows-XP-SP...

3 connected as long as administrator, if necessary, double-click the saved file to install WinXP SP3.  Follow the prompts. Be patient and restart twice when the installation ends.

4. make the resolution method 2 here (believe me):
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943144

5. go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com . Install all required software, and then click CONTINUE. Select CUSTOM and scan | Install the critical updates of security offered. Still, follow all the instructions.

[I do NOT recommend install IE7 through Windows Update.]

6. make sure that automatic updates is enabled; FC.

  • Windows SP1 - "the server has not responded.

    Hello!

    I perform a clean installation on the machine of my old mother. In fact, service of the only operation I can install is Windows XP Pro. I downloaded the sp1aexpress_usa.exe file to automatically perform the update.

    After a few checks performed by the program, he prepared to download the Service Pack 1 files. A few seconds/minutes later, the following error message appears: "the server has not responded.

    I spent nearly 3 hours to dig the web to see if I can download SP1 from somewhere within Microsoft, without a bit of luck. Is it possible to upgrade correctly from this machine to SP1 - SP2 - SP3 and thus now or should I format the computer once more and try an operating system open source?

    Thanks for your time

    Pablo

    SP1 (SP1a) is totally useless. All you need to do is to install SP2 and SP3. For more details:

    Were you recently doing a Clean Install? I ask because you are implying in your installation of Windows XP is in 'gold' or SP0 (i.e., pre - SP1) level. Well sure, automatic updates will not work!
    You can use this path to level – says in passing:
    Gold XP to XP SP2 to XP SP3.
    Note that installing SP1a is TOTALLY USELESS!
    Here are the detailed instructions:

    1. download the installation of SP2, 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=28 (for SP2)

    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.

    4. install SP2. Reset.

    5 install the SP3. Reset.

    6 switch to IE8. Restart TWICE.

    7 install an Antivirus 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).

    8 make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should be).

    (Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet.)

    9 visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates.

    10 re - enable automatic updates.

  • Windows live mail send error "the server does not support an SSL connection. Server error 250.

    Original title: Windows live mail error send

    Cannot send mail to Windows Live Mail.  Error message... The server does not support an SSL connection. Server error 250. Server - * address email is removed from the privacy *. Windows Live Mail error ID - 0x800CCC7D. SMTP Protocol.  Port 25.

    It's better, thank you. This message is not from the BT Server; It comes from your Avast antivirus which is intercepting your mail. You would be well advised to turn off the Avast Mail shield; It does not add any additional security if you don't by attention elsewhere, and can cause problems.

    I see that it is the record of mail in bulk that because of the problems in this case. Connect to the Web e-mail account and clear the items junk and deleted records.

    BT is recommended to use SSL, but your original question indicated that SSL was not taken in charge for SMTP on port 25. I think we'd better go on all your settings. Recommendations of BT are on this page: BT email: what are the settings for outgoing and incoming mail servers?, but they only work if you disable Avast scanning mail.

    Right-click on the account name in the folders pane, and then select Properties.

    • Under the servers tab, make sure that my server requires authentication is selected.
      Select connect with authentication in clear text.
    • On the Advanced tab, select this server requires a secure connection (SSL) for both servers.
      Make sure that the incoming (IMAP) port is 993 and port for outgoing (SMTP) is 465.

    When you've made all these changes, close Windows Live mail and wait five minutes for the program do its cleaning and save the modified settings. Then, restart the computer and make sure that the Mail of Avast shield is always off.

    Launch Windows Live Mail, then dial a new test message and send it to yourself. Post a new message in your response.

    Nonsense. If you see the details of your calendar when you click on the link I gave, then you are connected with the Live ID that is associated with the agenda. No matter who else by clicking above will see either his own calendar so it is connected, or an invitation to sign it if it is not.

  • Problems of the sp1 update to sp3. While trying to install sp1a, I get a message "the server is not responding.

    IM currently under xp pro sp1. I want to upgrade to sp3, and I read that before the update to sp3, you have sp1a or sp2 (obviously not available). while trying to install sp1a, I get a message "server not responding" and then he directs me to go to the microsoft site to download a version of the file that does not use my internet connection. I can't find this file anywhere. My question is #1 I'm even doing this right? and anyway to update without having to download sp1a first?  IM this operating system running on an ibm thinkpad. I know its outdated and will be a bit slow though, my reason to update to sp3 should be more compatible with the newer programs that won't let me download with sp1. Thanks for any help in advance.

    See my response to this thread--> http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_install/windows-xp-service-pack-1a-server-not-contactable/72a91455-7814-4d05-817c-52a4fbff0d8d

    There is a much more important reason to install sp3 ' to be more compatible with the newer programs.  If you have been online since August 2004 with Windows XP service pack 1 or more (when sp2 is released), the chances are high that your system is compromised (one of the reasons why he is "a bit slow").

    You might seriously consider a "clean install" of Windows with whatever you have and then recovery media immediately this update to sp3.  If you do this AND your recovery mechanism restores Norton or McAfee trial ware, after you make initial/reinstall recovery and before you install sp3, follow the advice of MS MVP PA Bear below:

    VERY IMPORTANT! => Any Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You need TO uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the appropriate removal BEFORE tool to install updates, the Windows Service Packs, or updates of IE AND BEFORE installing your new antivirus application (for example, Microsoft Security Essentials - free).
