Xp pro sp3 updated drivers

My OS is Windows XP Pro SP3 and when I bought my computer in 2004 he had these drivers for xp pro. I want to know if I can update the drivers to the latest versions for XP Pro SP3?

IMO updates driver update should not be attempted unless you have a specific problem that you know or suspect will be fixed by a driver update, i.e. follow the maxim "don't"fix"something that is not broken".

What makes you want to update the drivers?

  • XP Pro sp3 updates fail

    Updates are set to notify and in recent weeks when the icon is clicked on a page with a list (of long) is presented and when you click it to download a few seconds the router activity ago then the action stop and the icon disappears.  Updates fail.  A time later same updates are presented again.  Anyone know how to remedy this.

    Some updates are: KB2888505, KB2858302, KB2596615, KB2596672, KB2596785, KB2687311, KB2687499, KB2760416, KB2596843, KB2510531 and KB2596848.  Some of them appear old enough so I don't know what gives.  Until this problem started, the machine was up-to-date and updates were install normally.

    If a manual update is requested check page shows no activity or is running continuously.

    Thank you, John.

    Your instructions helped me to start good SONGS.  Properties of BITS came as shown with the current runtime.  Was able to update of 16 of the 17 updates.  .NET framework 4 failed (KB2858302v2).  .NET repair tool does not accomplish a repair so I downloaded a new copy of .NET and installed in repair mode.  The last update then installed successfully.

    Now, everything's fine.  Thanks a lot for your help.  John.

  • Windows xp pro sp3 can not get updates - don't stop to check updates and nothing happens.

    For the past 2 weeks I can't get windows on windows xp pro sp3 updates. The green bar that runs while the verification of updates just keeps running and running and does'nt stop until I have stop. No error codes at all.
    Run the fix it tool and indicates "registration for the service is missing or corrupted" and it offers a solution for the problem of the does'nt.
    What is the reference for this?

    I had the same problem and you will spend one day trying many suggestions, including various Microsoft Fix - its, which none worked, and which some worse messing with the BITs service (that I then had to restore, losing even more time).

    In the end, I found that the problem was related to the update of Cumulative security for Internet Explorer 8. There is a kind of incompatibility with previous versions of this update that causes IE stuck when he tries to check the updates.

    The solution for me was to download and install the * last * IE Cumulative Security Update * manually * before you try to run Windows Update to get the other patches. Here's how:

    (1) using the Internet Explorer, I visited the current MS security bulletin page

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin

    (2) from there, I went to the latest summary (November 2013) and found the update of IE at the top of the list: "Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (2888505).

    (3) I couldn't see direct links for just this update, so I copied the number of the Knowledge Base - 2888505 - and google for "Download KB2888505" (Bing didn't work by the way). This gave me the direct download link:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=41074

    (4) I have downloaded and run the update installer and then restarted (as required by the software update).

    Microsoft/Windows Update restart worked. I repeated the same process on a second computer with the same problem and it worked also.

  • Satellite Pro C660D-187 - when should I update drivers?

    Hello

    I recently received a Satellite Pro C660D-187
    When "update drivers". I'm not technical interested so do not have much of a clue, unfortunately.

    Thank you, C

    Hello

    I would update the driver only if I would notice some problems with my laptop.
    For example if the WiFi connection is not stable; I would update the driver for wireless network card

    But I have always followed this advice: never change a system up and running, you know
    Of course windows updates should always be made to close security leaks

  • After recommending the bios update, hp dv6131od running xp pro sp3 will not load windows - is there a wa

    After installing an update of the bios recommended on the hp website my dv6131od running xp pro sp3 will not load windows

    Update does not seem to have problems - failure, lack of time for flash, backup, etc.

    boot sequence seems normal (finds it a bootable cd in the drive, etc.), but windows won't load in safe or other mode

    next steps?  is there a way to access the BIOS?

    Thank you

    There is a simple solution to this problem.  The HP Online Crash Analysis Team has finally responded to my email after 34 days.  I had given up hearing from them despite several requests to repeat.

    I had completely disassembled the laptop trying to find the bios setting the jumpers on the motherboard in response to an idea contained in one of the PM, I sent... all to nothing does not...

    OCAT told me to look in the BIOS under "system configuration" for the Native SATA support.  The last update of the BIOS resets this point 'activated', but that only works for Vista & Win 7.  This must be set to "disabled" for XP and previous operating system.

    I hope that this post will save someone having to wait 5 weeks invest hours of work for a solution that took 3 minutes!

    Hi imoffshore,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

    ·         When was the last time it worked?

    ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

    ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

    ·         You get the error message?

    When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

    1. You are not logged as administrator (or equivalent)
    2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
    3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

    The options available for automatic updates.

    You must make some changes in the windows registry.

    Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    There is a known issue with Windows Update that address priority before you visit Windows Update

    Manually download and install the latest cumulative security update for IE8 and restart before

    visit windows update via the shortened link in your Start menu.

    When you have Win XP SP3 and IE8, it will be the necessary file

    http://download.Microsoft.com/download/1/9/A/19A6AC47-9EA0-455F-B918-A44D25B5304C/IE8-WindowsXP-KB2898785-x86-enu.exe

    It often happens that the installation of SP3 will break the windows update feature by not properly installing the windows update agent.  An older version of the windows update agent can be downloaded and saved in the C directory and installed by an execution command.

    Windows update agent is available during one of the linked pages

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/943144

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/946928

    A reboot is probably a good idea after each intervention.

    Now connect to windows update manually through your browser using the shortcut in the start menu link and your chances are better that it will work.

    When the latest version of windows and to connect to Windows Update will detect the old version of Windows update agent installed update agent will be installed after consenting to the ActiveX installation.  It will be the first thing that happens when connecting to Windows update if things continue normally.

  • Remove unusable installation drivers XP Pro SP3 in dual boot XP/7 on different drives

    As part of the upgrade to Windows 7, I improved and traded around a lot of components in the systems I have at home. I had XP Pro SP3 installed on a PATA 160 GB hard drive, on a system of AMD (Athlon LE-1600 + card mother GA-MA69VM-S2 + AMD 690V) with a NVIDIA 8800GT. After the upgrade, it has an Intel Pentium E6300 on an ASUS P5N-E, as well as a new SATA 320 GB of HARD drive. Problem is that I did not remove all the drivers to the XP system before I swapped components autour, so installing XP is completely unusable . It starts, but in the VGA graphics card, with no USB (same keyboard and mouse), not his and no Ethernet . It still load startup programs and they work (e.g. SpeedFan), but there is no answer to an action keyboard or mouse. After starting it with an old PS/2 keyboard that works always, TI BSoDed just after I start menu loaded via the key to victory.

    There are some games that will not work on retail full 64 bit W7 Pro install, and so I always want the XP installation to function. Reinstallations of XP or formatting the drive is completely out of the question .

    Mark,
    I fear that you may be out of luck.  When you change that much Windows hardware has pretty much be reinstalled.  You might be able to get away with a repair install, but I'm not positive that it will work, probably worth a try.

    Unless there is an XP expert out there who knows far around it so you can just buy a new case and put this drive with the old parts.  :)  Or reinstall. Typing of my new Windows 7 64 bit and love it! Soli Deo Gloria!

  • I can't update my xp reloaded pro SP3 without having 1A that I can't find anywhere

    I tried to find SP1a on internet but end up still at Ms Download Center and be as MS support more less XP pro SP3 with their server does not how to get around this problem?

    SP1a is not absolutely necessary.

    There is more than one path of Gold (SP0) XP to SP3:

    1 SP or---> SP1 or SP1a---> SP3

    or

    2 MS gold---> SP2---> SP3

    Unfortunately, you cannot get MS gold straight to SP3. Must be at least an intermediate step. You can also go to SP gold to SP1 to SP2 to SP3, but it is an unnecessary extra step.

    SP1 and SP1a are nearly identical. SP1 has been replaced by SP1a long for reasons of copyright related Java Sun Java virtual machine. But if you have a CD of SP1, it will most certainly work. As a matter of fact, if your Windows XP installation CD at the SP1 level, it is unnecessary to SP1a before doing anything else. You can immediately go to SP1 SP3 without any problem at all.

    Here are the links for the packages of SP:

    Service Pack 1 has

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=28

    Service Pack 3

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24

    To make life easier, copy and paste the above text so that you always have these handy links. It is possible that if you click on them now (while it is connected on the Windows answers Portal), they do not work.

    Yet once, you might as well just download SP2 and SP3. SP1a is not really necessary. (But I do not understand the link anyway).

Maybe you are looking for
