Windows xp sp2 - where can I find

Hello I have re-installed windows xp on my laptop. However, I'm trying to update windows and automatic update doesn't seem to work. I'm unable to install sp3 because I have ie6.  I can't update ie6 because I need sp2 or later version.  Do I need to install sp2 before sp3?  If Yes, where can I find? Microsoft have sp3 on cd for £5, but I can't find sp2. Thank you

Yes, you need either Windows XP SP1a or SP2 before installing SP3.  Here are the links for the SP2 and SP3, download and install and ignore warnings about them being to use pro COMPUTER or network... they are full installation packages:

  • I would like to re - install Windows 7 Pro; Where can I find an ISO to do this?

    Hello

    I bought 3 computers on a sale at auction and I do not have passwords enemy inwdows. I would like to re - install Windows 7 Pro on those computers and I don't have the product keys.

    Where can I find an ISO to do this?

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    My hardrive broken so I am new and my restore disk does not work where can I get a version of windows to put it on a floppy disk and use it on my computer OSless.

    XP has disappeared.

    your best bet is to work with the manufacturer of your laptop, maybe they xp on their shelves.

    also, the restore disks may require specialty measures to run for them to be activated.

    so for the two cases above, visit your computers home site and look for the model number of your laptop for the faq on the help of restore disks / recovery discs / factory restore.

    by the way, how broken is the old hard drive?

    He must have a hidden section on it with all the preserved original software which can be used to restore the hard disk.

    but this section could also be copied into the new HDD as well, according to which 'broke' implies.

    by the way, is that the technician who replaced your hard drive take a look at the restore disks too?

    Hello

    You will need to uninstall Norton... You'd better go to their website for their removal tool. Simply uninstalling was reported to leave artifacts that still block Windows Defender.

    In fact, Norton can offer better protection, but of how much better, you could try a search for comments and/or a comparison... Norton will probably slow down your machine more than the Defender, but I have not tried lately to say how much.

    Most likely the Office 365 is a trial provided by the manufacturer of the computer for which you will have to pay for eventually... just a guess but.

  • Do I need to install SP2 before SP3? If Yes, where can I find the Microsoft of SP2 version?

    I had to re - install Windows XP SP1a, from a CD of resettlement came with my Dell laptop. This was done because I upgraded the hard drive. This facility went well. I went to the Windows Update site to try to get the SP2 and SP3. The webiste is said to SP2 until you can do SP3. The only version of SP2, I find on the website says that it is for the professionals and see the link for the Service Pack to the simple version. When I go on this link there is no one version. Do I need to install SP2 before SP3? If Yes, where can I find the Microsoft of SP2 version? In addition, the site says that automatic updates SP2 but I checked my Configuration of the automatic updates and it will not take anything in. Is there a way to force the automatic update to run immediately? Thanks, Ben

    Ben,

    I totally agree with PML, you should be able to set up IE and then go to the Windows updates from there, once you get on the Windows Update site it will scan your system and implement critical updates and optional updates SP2 and SP3 should be on the list. It's a way to force an immediate update.

    I hope this helps.

  • Where can I find the Bonjour service, I need for sharing of home from a Windows 7 Desktop?

    I just downloaded iTunes 12.4.1 and apparently I need good morning services for home sharing.  Where can I find this service?

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates. First, install the missing components.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review other cases and a list of documents to support further down the page, in which case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, must revert to a previous version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for the problems of performance or compatibility with third-party software.

    Your library must be affected by these measures, but it is also related to backup and recovery advice if necessary.

  • Where can I find my favorite Firefox etc in Windows Vista?

    My laptop running completely died without warning (motherboard). I removed the hard drive and was able to read it via a USB box on my new laptop running Windows 8.1, I can't find my Firefox bookmarks.

    I read all the posts that seem relevant and I have tried the solutions but none doesn't seem to work. In short:
    (a) where on Vista are they stored? the full path would be useful!
    (b) should what files I copy across 8.1? What's a file, several or all?
    (c) including one or more folders on 8.1 are going to? They replace the existing files?

    I have a lot of important bookmarks otherwise I'd start again.

    One thing I know now... REGULARLY BACK UP YOUR BOOKMARKS!

    Thank you

    I have now solved this problem, but the information was not particularly explicit. I have copied the Vista file through to the correct location on W8.1, but had a few error messages (sorry did not had the time to do a note). In the end, I did things work by renaming the W8.1 file by adding "Old" to the front of the name of the folder and rename the folder of Vista (which was something completely different from that of the W8.1 file, but without the 'old' in mind, of course.

    There may be ways easier, but after a few weeks, I was just happy to come to the conclusion that I wanted.
