Mr President, my question is that, core i7 processor (3rd generation) will support window XP (sp2 or sp3)? Install Windows XP on a PC, which is activated with core i7 processor (3rd generation), without any difficulty? If this is not the case, is it possible to install Windows XP on core i7 (3rd generation) compatible processor PC, without using a pc virtual & window xp mode?
Thank you

You will need to check with the manufacturer of the hardware you use, especially the card manufacturer mother but also all the addin cards and devices. If they have XP drivers then the answer is that your system must work with XP.
You already asked this question, but my answer is essentially the same thing as Richard G Harper in this thread...

Tecra A9 move from Win XP SP2 to SP3 - questions?
Anyone have trouble with their Tecra A9 when upgrading to Windows XP SP2 to SP3? I've heard horror stories with other laptops that users lock their systems or lose functionality.
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.
Hello
I m not Tecra A9 owner but I already installed the SP3 Win and I didn't notice any strange problems after installing SP3.
Of course, it might be possible that some drivers would not fully compatible with some fixes and patches but it seems that I m a lucky guy and there is nothing wrong with my operating system.But to be honest; I didn't notice any improvement after the installation of Sp3.
However, you can install Sp3 on your system and if you have great compatibility problems you'd still be able to remove the SP3 of the system.Welcome them

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 was recently given an older laptop. I have windows XP Home Edition SP2. When I try to update windows, update web site scans my pc and says I need to install SP3 to update other windows. It downloads, but it starts to install, at Midway, the PC shuts down. When I power backup, windows starts to load, but discounts can go back every time. Only way I can get windows to work again is to join the conservation program and windows restore to before sp3 install atemp. I discovered that I need to install microsoft .net framework 2.0 SP2, but as it tries to install it, it stops and gives me an error code 1601. What is the problem and what can do to reslove?

Hello
I connected two computers, one running on windows xp sp2 and others running on windows xp sp3 via com using RS232 port via link Modem DFM-562E ++.
I am able to dial numbers from a PC successfully.
But when I do a direct link between them (one as a host, the other guest) through the com port, I get error 777.
Is this because the two PC's using different service packs?
Help, please.
Thank you & best regards
RaviIt is not the service pack - although you should have installed sp3 now.
Your message is not clear: have you been able to connect successfully computers using your modem D-Link? How did you do that? Will there be a modem in the second computer?
What cable are you using to establish a direct connection between the com ports on both computers? If you have purchased this cable online, please provide a link to the site where you bought it.
Please describe the physical connection between the two computers. For example, this is how you connect to the Internet by dial-up services:
computer 1-{(9 broches) RS-232 serial port}-{RS-232 cable supplied with the modem}-{modem}-{phone cord (RJ-11 modular plugs at each end)}-{telephone wall jack}

I tried to go to windows update but redirected to micrsoft support page, which offers no SP2 and SP3 for windows XP Pro, and yet I don't have a network of computers running windows XP Pro download the SPs would be a disater as it is intended for more than one PC.
It does not give the notice to go to the windows update page, but I can't get there because I do not have windows XP SP 3 installed on my pc, and even if I have it on a disc I couldn't install it anyway because SP 2 is not installed on this pc.
So this pc seems to be thrown into a sort of limbo XP, does anyone know a way I can get these much needed without breaking service packs?
