• Update XP Home Edition SP3 for XP Professional SP2. It's less work to do an upgrade?

  I am running XP Home Edition SP3 and loaded Visual 2005 and find the tutorial that I use for Visual c# 2005 must have XP Professional SP2 (but I don't know SP3 would also work) and I don't want to have to do whold many other changes.  Am I right that installing a version upgrade is the best option?  Any suggestions?  The speed of machine and disk space is fine.

  What Daave said... more

  It is difficult nowadays to find the installation CD of infringement for any version of XP, so before you go to eBay or a similar place to find an XP Pro upgrade CD, really tried your tutorial and it had fail or are you just read the 'minimum requirements' from somewhere?

  If you have not tried to run on your system, I suggest to try this before doing anything else.  If you have failed, what was the specific error, without paraphrasing, that was displayed? There may be a workaround solution that someone here might suggest.

• Set catalyst on WinXP SP2 to upgrade to SP3... Demoted from Vista. 6735 s (if-40)

  Hi everyone, I'm having a 'small' problem with a Catalyst Control Center (or whatever it is ) on my 6735 s.

  Problem is - it does not start

  But lets start from the beginning-> CCC was able to run on Vista, I had installed on my laptop

  Then, I decided to 'downgrade' to my good old XP SP2. And he succeeded (surprisingly, but there was no error, etc.).

  After I downgraded to XPSP2 I tried to install the CCC, but for some reason, it refused to work...

  Well, this isn't kind of it doesn't work at all, but I have no shourtcuts and no extra in the floating menu tab and nothing in the "display settings" => "Advanced".

  And in his repertoire, I get lost in all of this *. EXE (such as Core.exe and Mom.exe etc.) files, so I tried a few, but the result always the same - nothing)

  But the pilots work quite properly... I guess

  Then, I got my put XP upgraded to SP3. I tried to reinstal CCC, but all still the same, even with the new versions of the CCC

  Therefore, if anyone knows what to do to run CCC, halp please.

  Oh, by the way I Frimework .NET 3.5 SP1 installed.

  P.S. I just didn't know where to post this topic, so feel free to move if I was doing something wrond on it.

  FYI about the downgrade from Vista to XP

  Hope that yours is one of these editions of Vista approved decommissioning...

  I guess you could dualboot one drive at a time, if you buy a stand alone 'over the counter' version of the OS first.

• If Win XP SP1 is no longer supported, can I reinstall from my system disk and always upgrade to SP3?

  My hard drive is filled with thousands of uninstall files and folders while he was trying to upgrade my operating system to SP3. I want to wipe the hard drive and reinstall xp and other software. My system drive is XP SP1. Can I reinstall this version and then go online to upgrade to SP3?

  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 5100 with a Pentium 4 processor and 1 GB of RAM (maximum). I don't think that I have the option to upgrade to windows 7.

  While Windows XP with SP1/SP1a or SP2 is no longer "supported" - it's just a matter of installing Windows XP patched SP3 to fall in this category 'supported '.
   
  My suggestion - to make things simple - if you install cleanly, simply download and install Service Pack 2 for Windows XP first.  Reboot several times.  Then, download and then install Service Pack 3 for Windows XP.  Reboot several times.  Then start visiting http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and continue to install post-SP3 90 updates +.

• Install XP Pro original CD upgrade to SP3

  I am trying to install Windows XP Pro on my new MacBook.  I have an installation CD for Windows XP Pro, BUT it's the XP of origin dating back to 2000 and it is not recognized by Apple Bootcamp (as it requires SP2).

  Is it possible to download the new copy of XP? Or somehow upgrade my installation disc?

  What you're talking about is called "slipstreaming".  Because service pack 3 requires at least service pack 1 or 1A, you can't integrate sp3 directly using your original CD-ROM.  Although you could probably create a slipstreamed sp2 cd, and then slipstream sp3 for help that it is probably easier to create just a sp2 CD, install it and then go to Windows Update.

  You can get service packs here .  Note that these are only updated to be used to update your original version, full of Windows XP.

  Google will give you plenty of hits for xp slipstream or similar.  The most often recommended two utilities are Autostreamer and nLite.  Here's a set of instructions:http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/slipstream.htmand here on the other: http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sp2_slipstream.asp
