XP Service Pack 3 download

I thought I had solved this a few weeks ago, but obviously not...

Automatic updates keep informing me that SP3 is available. It downloads and installs fine, but restart the computer, the following message is displayed;

We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.

If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly or has been automatically closed down to protect your files and folders, select last good known to return to the setting Configuration most recent works.

If a previous startup attempt was interrupted due to a power outage because the power or reset button has been activated, or if you are not sure what caused the problem, choose Start Windows normally.

Safe mode

Safe mode with networking

Safe mode with command prompt

Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that work)

Start Windows normally

This last option is automatically highlighted and if left to himself, countdown and restart constantly, back to the above message each time.

Last known good Configuration did the same thing.  Didn't try the Mode safe mode with setting in network or command line that I have no idea where it would take me.

I just go to Safe Mode and restart from a set Point earlier.  I tried Mr. Fixit and all the other suggested links, but can not solve this problem.

The computer is a 2nd hand Compaqu Presario and I deleted all the games that the previous owner had loaded, but there may be settings still there that cause this problem, even if I have restarted with factory settings, redownloaded SP2 and Microsoft office etc.

It's that SP3 installs?

If so, I apologize for the missing something, I normally ask.
I thought that for some reason any you were trying to use the automatic updates or Windows Update using SP2.
However, in case your Compaq (HP) PC with an AMD processor, you really need to check out these links:

  • service pack 2 download the 8007371C error message

    What should I do to get this service pack to download? Suggestions please. I tried 3 times now and has failed every time.

    The only thing I can say is that you perform a repair - installation

    Run a repair installation will restore the current installation of Windows to the version of the installation DVD. This also requires the installation of all the updates that are not included on the installation DVD.

    Note Run a repair installation will not damage files and applications that are currently installed on your computer.

    To perform a repair of Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 installation, follow these steps:

    1. Close all applications and restart the computer.
    2. Insert the Windows Vista DVD or Windows Server 2008 DVD into the DVD drive of the computer.
    3. In the settings window, click install now.

      Note If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:

      1. Click Start and type Drive: \setup.exe in the box start the search .

        Note The placeholder drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD.

      2. In the list of programs , click Setup.exe.
      3. In the settings window, click install now.
    4. Click connect to get the latest updates for installation (recommended).
    5. Type the CD key if you are prompted to do so.
    6. Click Yes to accept the Microsoft software license agreement.
    7. On the which type of installation do you want? of the screen, click upgrade.
    8. When the installation is complete, restart your computer and try to install the updates again

    NB: As you already have SP1 for Vista - step 7 (method for Windows Vista), the * UPGRADE option is not available because SP1 has been installed. http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948537

    Make sure that you back up your important things first. Then run Windows Update to catch up on all the updates up to SP2.

    When you're offered SP1 install, then continue until you're offered SP2 and then install it. I hope that all is well.

    Uninstall SP1

  • Product key required for Windows XP Service Pack 2 download.

    I had to back up my data and reinstall Windows, yesterday. I downloaded Windows XP Service Pack 2 installation network for IT professional and developers using Dell's Support Package. Everything seemed to be working fine until I opened a Word 2002 document and asked for a product key. I ran Microsoft Genuine Advantage Diagnostic Tool and product key turns out to be xxxxx-xxxxx-GD6GR-K6DP3-4C8MT. What can I do?

    What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

    A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a test free version comes preinstalled when you buy it and that would have been reinstalled, but invalid, when you reinstalled Windows)?

  • I would like to re - install Windows Vista, but my drive does not all service packs. Download Windows Vista with service pack already on it?

    so, I'm running vista 64 bit basic, I want to do a fresh install,

    but my drive is very early (noservice packs ect) can I download of ms a basic family of complete up-to-date vista 64-bit with sp2 with my cd key? or should I shut up and make from my cd and cope? If I do a reinstall should I reinstall all my programs as well?

    Hello yaleblor,

    You can download the full SP2 for Vista from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16468

    Save the file to a CD/DVD or USB key.

    Once you have the service pack downloaded file, you can use your current Vista CD to install a fresh copy of Windows Vista on your C: drive. Once you have installed Vista you can install service pack 2 directly from the CD/DVD or USB you originally stored it on. All you then need to do is to run the Windows updates to update your system completely.

    You can find out how to do a clean install by looking at this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/install_windows_vista.htm

    After you install Windows Vista, you will need to re - install all your programs, so make sure that you have all the programs by hand before starting to consider reinstalling Windows.

    I need to install Service Pack 1 on my Windows Vista computer, but it is no longer available through Windows updates? I only have a 32-bit system and it doesn't seem to be a download option stand alone for this.

    Using MS auto updates, tried to download service pack 2 (41 m) 1/4 full when the error code occurs. Tried several times. restarted the computer and I tried.  No luck on the definition of the error code in the database definition of Ms.

    I have now once again... am to the point where Microsoft Update wants to install SP2.  xxx465 will not install.  I had many security measures and reinstalled without any own.  I have installed now someone else and can only assume that nothing will install, I will continue to blue screen 1 has and receive Code D trying to continue to SP2.  I've heard great things about Windows 7, but I'm personally hesitant because unfortunate information provided me and no solutions on the horizons with regard to Vista, which has been a beta transition sell since 2006.

    Would like to have a solution;  I would be happy to provide further information as well to help Microsoft these issues with a Dell with NVIDIA and myself throughout for this.  All I have seen is multiple captures and I have to fend off a vector I know on port 1434 on the injection of SQL code on a Vista computer (full POSIX on a client = bad idea).

    Regarding security, I tried the hardware firewall, and I tried most of the security software for flexible infrastructure.

    Microsoft always seems to be M & M security, which means, in particular, that if you passed the material before her or 3rd parties that fix (less pay Microsoft a large part of the money), it is a big failure.

    My service provider just instyalled Win XP Pro SP2 after uopgrading the hard drive.

    I couldn't get acesss to the internet because my Connect Manager requires SP3.

    Do I know if I can download it on another PC, save it using a USB key and install it in the old PC?

    Can you install this way, or I need to order the CD-ROM from Microsoft?

    Thank you

    Install SP3 by downloading from...

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

    You can ignore the text that says it's for network installations and also ignore the text advising windows/microsoft update if a single update of a PC.

    You can save it in any way transferable, USB drive, external hard drive, etc.

    Hi vintagejames,

    ·        How long have you been experiencing this problem?

    ·        You receive an error message?

    ·        You install the update via windows update or manually?

    I suggest you try the steps mentioned below and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Try disabling the security software temporarily.

    Note:  Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Try to install the stand-alone package manually. See the link for the last update:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913089
