Windows XP SP3 update (maintains just to check the latest updates...)

I would like some help if possible, I try to use windows update, and it doesn't seem to do anything since the "search for updates" (green bar) he keeps going and going but never happened, I did a little research and found pretty much what my problems and I tried with no luck http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_update/windows-xp-update-just-keeps-running/610eccda-bd6d-4a86-bed0-01081a23db26 advice

I even tried this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 with no luck.

Anyone know what I can do to fix this? or how I can get the updates for this month?

Thank you ~.

I had this problem on 2 different computers. A computer with Windows XP Professional SP3 I did a repair installation of XP on it. A computer with Windows XP Home SP3 who just need to updates of December 2013. This problem was caused by Internet Explorer 8, which need to be properly updated. I recommend to uninstall then reinstall IE8 with IE8 updates. Then download and install the December 2013 for IE8 Cumulative security update: KB2898785.
In both cases, after the installation of KB2898785, Windows Update once more worked.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

  • Windows XP svchost.exe problems. Cannot find the latest updates for windows xp.

    Hello, this is my first time on the Microsoft Community page.

    I have a very strange problem with automatic updates svchost.exe and windows. I know that automatic update of windows, has been known to cause problems on XP and there is thus CPU utilization of memory leaks. Last night, I tried to install the latest windows XP updates, with automatic tool. The tool hanged during the process. Not sure why exactly. I never had a problem with it. I've been running Xp SP 3 for more than five years. In any case, I rebooted my system and checked to see if the updates actually treatment. They do not have. Then I went to the windowsupdate.microsoft site. I was trying to these updates. The scan never completed, he just constantly checked, for about 45 minutes. I decided to do some research. I found the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder "fix" online. He kicked, I renamed the file. And then disabled auto updates and restarted my computer. After windows starts, I re-activated automatic updates and waited. Nothing happened, so I did some research more. I noticed that svchost.exe uses about 25% the use of the processor. Normally my treated systemidle is 99%. I used Process explore and isolated the wuauclt.exe under the svchost.exe file. When I disable automatic updates executable, it is up to a full 99%.

    I'm not sure why it uses 25%, when I look at the actual use of the memory for the wuauclt.exe, it is only using about 17 k of memory. Which is quite low. I have not turned on microsoft update, starting in the configurations of parameters at windowsupdate. I know that in the past, that has been a problem and swallowed up system resources.

    Any advice would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

    There are a lot of threads on this forum - and many others - this problem - just try to do a Google search for UPDATES of XP SVCHOST - hits now more than 8 million.

    But to save you the trouble of tracking down the fix OK here is the short version

    1. disable automatic updates using Control Panel icon

    2. restart the computer - SVCHOST is now not going crazy

    3. check which version of Internet Explorer you have installed IE8, IE7 or IE6

    4. download and install - the links below - the good update for Internet Explorer.

    Assuming you have Windows XP 32 bits here are the direct download links:

    IE8: IE8-WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41404

    IE7: IE7-WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41442

    IE6: WindowsXP-KB2898785 - x 86 - ENU.exe
    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41458

    5. Once installed, you can reactivate the automatic updates and using Windows Update.

    Note: The bug also affects access via Windows/Microsoft Update Web site.

    KB2898785 is the "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer" (December 10, 2013)

    There is a bug in the function of automatic update under XP running the SVCHOST process at full CPU load (100% or 50% or 25% depending on the number of CPU cores you have). If you have a Quad core CPU the bug works the CPU at 25% (a carrot out of four) and eventually battles through a conclusion - but if your computer is a single old Celeron or Pentium bug works the CPU chip at 100% load for many, many h/solid.

    Faster your processor and RAM than you seem to make a radical difference to the actual times are waiting for you maybe search for updates complete. Most of the old core systems were never designed to deal with this kind of situation and can easily overheat. This is especially true of laptops and desktop systems older where the radiator can be partially blocked with fluff and hairs of animals - which could cause blockages or stops!

    Microsoft said last month that the updates of Internet Explorer are treated differently from all the other updates - which is originally the XP update engine run so slowly as to appear frozen. If the update service finds that you don't have the latest version of IE that is currently available, it starts to search the entire tree of updates of IE to see what it takes - rather than offering just the cumulative current update for your system.

    But if you manually install the update yourself update Internet Explorer service is fully updated and is not search for updates of IE. But until Ms. fix it will still occur whenever a new update is published.

    MS said that intend to prune the IE updates database so that only the main cumulative updates have been offered when a search has been launched - it did not in time for the update as it should of November and obviously has not arrived or worked either in time for the December Update!

    MS say they hope to have a fix before the January updates are released (Patch Tuesday) - that the problem will be activated once the next update Cumulative of IE is released.

  • How to make windows XP SP3 display Chinese characters correctly in the programs?

    I am running Windows XP SP3 and I need Chinese language to view a program. (in Windows 2000 it displays very well) I installed East Asian language packs and the Chinese buttons now display gibberish. Y at - it installation work best for the language to Chinese? I went in the section advanced and made sure everything I checked options Chinese had it but still the same... I followed the links to "install files for East Asian without CD-ROM.
    http://forums.techarena.in/Windows-XP-support/873146.htm"but that doesn't give me what I have on XP SP3 ORIGINAL CD. Y at - it a fix for this or is the police by default for windows is not compatible with the Chinese language?

    Please help and if you could not mark as 'responded' unless you actually answer my question.

    Just in case where U ignored my above features:
    Windows XP with SP3.
    Already installed the files for East Asian CD and download.
    At the default font on the desktop.

    Ok... I thought about it, you must set your "format" in the regional settings in the option "Chinese (simplified, PRC) ' for the installed language pack to work for Chinese characters. My programs now display the correct characters. I imagine that by selecting the right 'Format' to use will help out with all the other languages also.

    FYI: I had to do that very thing on a machine Windows 7 has not been posted by the correct characters. I fixed it the same way :-)

  • Failed to upgrade 10 Windows v3-772 - initialize not just crashes with the acer logo screen

    Hi guys

    I just had my computer repair and the SSD has been changed. I was running 10 before windows and everything was perfect until an update in ruins everything. Long history does not in this

    In any case I unstall all my software and do an update to windows 10. All the preparations and thus seems to be okay. Then it restarts and is stuck. Never of shots. I see the low activity of the HARD drive, but I let it run for 8 hours and still nothing, always gangs in the acer start window. It's once the bios loaded, because I can access that I'm fast and press f2.

    After a while, I gave up and thought maybe it was just a fluke, so I used my recovery dvd and reinstalled my system and the Agency and the outlook and... After the installation of about 5 hours, my system was ready to go. So I decided lets try again. And once again same failure. Just crashes with the Logo of Acer.

    I called Microsoft and they told to do me a startup repair. However it is not possible, I can get it in the repair mode, but none of the functions to work. Then they said that it was a material thing, but everywhere I look States the v3-772 should have no problem with the windows 10.

    I'm normally pretty good to fix my own problems, but in order to fix a problem I need a mistake or error code or something to go for. Does anyone have an idea what to do?

    ncmohr,

    I'm not completely sure what is the problem, but I'll tell you this.  When I look at Windows 10 drivers of Acer and BIOS for your computer model and see that there are some drivers Windows 8 and an old BIOS, it's really bad... especially if you try to get Windows 10 anniversary of working on your computer.

    I don't have the model of your computer, but I'll give you a bunch of links that may or may not help you get a version of Windows 10 installed on your computer.

    If you try to do a upgrade "on-site" Windows 8 for Windows 10 anniversary, then the link below and picture below might help... but I doubt it.

    https://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/Windows10

    Edit: I don't know if you should be using the drivers on the Acer website to download or just use the updated drivers that Windows automatically gives you.  Or a combination of both.  Try to start with the drivers Microsoft gives you automatically.  It could take hours for you to understand... Unfortunately.

    Edit2: On the Acer Web site, they gave you windows driver chipset 8.1 and Intel Management Engine Interface driver. And I suspect that the reason that they did is because they don't have to update your BIOS.

    3. When the high CPU usage occurs?

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
