    - XP SP3 Downloading and Installing Probs....Help Me Please!! I have tried numerous times to update Service Pack 3 for Windows XP Home Edition but everytime I start the download and accept the license agreement, it just stays on "preparing to download." I uninstalled my previous anti-virus program because I have been having problems with installing updates from Microsoft and downloaded Windows Live OneCare last night, thinking it may solve my problem. This morning before I left for work around 4:30am EST, I attempted to try downloading it again because Windows Live OneCare prompted me to do so and I am still at work but have called home to ask my sister if it downloaded and IT IS STILL ON THE SAME PAGE!!! What am I doing wrong?! I have had NO PROBLEM downloading any other updates! In fact, my automatic updates went ahead and installed the other updates for me but it won't installl SP3. I will greatly appreciate if somebody would please assist me in my troubles. I am normally very intelligent when it comes to computers but this thing has me dumbfounded. Thank You, Tabby Tag: Unable to boot up-Windows XP Tag: 255630

    - Can't Install SP 3; Can't Restore SP 2 Either I'd rather have a virus than have to deal with Windows updates. I have XP Window Media Center OS. When I tried to install SP 3 it went all the way to the end and just failed without any excuse or error message. It just failed. I tried all the suggestions on note 950718, and they all failed. Went thru the whole process about 6 times with the same result. After failure my network access was gone. It took a day to restore it. I tried to reinstall SP 2, but that didn't work. Window Media Center still doesn't work. When I try to start it I get an ehshell.exe error message to the effect that the file is only partially signed or corrupted. I appear to be stuck half way between SP 2 and 3. My Dell XPS M140 did not come with any Windows installation disks, so I can't reinstall. I just want to get back they way I was before SP 3 screwed my computer up. I have no plans to ever try to intall SP 3 on this computer again-- I'd rather hava a virus attack.

    - Can't reboot in safe mode, keyboard arrows won't work I have a user that installed SP3 on her home computer, but it did not go well.. After the installation and first reboot, a blue screen was briefly displayed. There was a "click" and the PC rebooted again. Then began an endless reboot cycle. She could never manage to read the message on the blue screen, but it seemed to begin with "If this is your first time running Windows..." She was able to press F8 and the Safe Mode selection screen was displayed, but she could not move the cursor to highlight "Safe Mode"--it stayed at "normal" Windows. She tried this several times. Anyone have any suggestions with this? Just a note...I haven't seen any major problems with any of our office computers that have been updated. They are all less than 3 years old. The problems our employees are having are on their older machines at home, most of which are well over 5 years old. Tag: Unable to boot up-Windows XP Tag: 255612

What's the problem? Maybe due to some recent updates? I removed some temp folders created by Windows Update.. could it be the problem? How to roll-back to remove last 4-5 update?

    - Cannot install MS Office Enterprise 2007 Windows Updates My employer is a member of the Microsoft Home Use Program. I recently took advantage of this program and ordered Office Enterprise 2007 which I installed and enabled on my laptop. I then downloaded and installed XP SP3 which caused a problem - a download virus was detected and removed -laptop was working ok. Yesterday, my Windows Update listed several updates (including sp1) related to Office Enterprise 2007. I selected express installation - all selected updates were NOT installed. I attempted the installation several times with the same results. Even though Trend Micro PC-cillin, Spybot and Windows Firewall were disabled, I still could not install the updates. Your expert advice is greatly appreciated. Tag: Unable to boot up-Windows XP Tag: 255547

My question is if SP3 contains all previous updates since SP2 release,why is SP3 so essential? Any help is much appreciated. -- warped06@aus Tag: Unable to boot up-Windows XP Tag: 255470

    - Unable to install Security Update for Windows XP (KB920213) Hi, I recently reinstalled Windows XP Home Edition due to a missing/corrupted Windows file. I have downloaded and installed all the updates on Windows Update. But I have problems downloading this particular update, Security Update for Windows XP (KB920213). When I try to download it from the Windows Update website, the following error message appears: 'Downloading Security Update for Windows XP (KB920213) (update 5 of 10)... failed!' So, I decided to download the actual update from the Microsoft website. The file I downloaded is 'WindowsXP-KB920213-x86-ENU'. But when I tried to install it, an error message appears, telling me that it could not locate this file 'update_SP2QFE.inf' from my computer. When I tried to locate the file, there were many hits within C:\windows, but the folders were named with different letters which I couldn't make out or find. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am currently using Windows XP Home Edition, with the basic Windows Firewall. I do not have any anti-virus or spyware programs or other firewalls installed yet. Quite ironically, I had to reinstall Windows in the first place because I installed XP SP 3 and it caused one of my Windows files to be corrupted or disappear...

    - It is May 12 and Vista SP1 is nowhere? We've got 2 identical Sony VIAO laptops (VGN-CR490 - T8300, 2.4Ghz, 3GB RAM, 250GB HD) with Vista Home Premium, purchased in March, all updates went fine so far, no tech problems, but SP-1 is nowhere to be found. I just keep checking the windows update, but it never indicated SP1 anywhere. I figured that it may take some time to show up, but today is May 12 and still nothing on either of the two laptops. The auto-update is activated, there is no driver conflicts of any kind so far, all updates were OK, there is no "update-blocking" software or setting anywhere, so theoretically it should be here by now and installed, right??? So, how long do we have to wait before it shows up and installs? Thank you! Tag: Unable to boot up-Windows XP Tag: 255442

    - XP Update Woes Installed update as encouraged to do to keep my elderly pc "safe". It became completely "safe" as I couldn't do anything with it due to it continually rebooting. As I have a full copy of XP on disc, I reinstalled it several times yesterday and fully formatted the disc. On each occasion the system worked great until I tried to download updates that hadn't caused any problems in the past then it started to continually reboot. I have now reached the stage of disabling all updates and am now running an unrefreshed version of XP with IE6 browser and various other external security products to keep me safe...hopefully. This updateis the crappiest thing I have ever downloaded and you should be ashamed of yourselves for foisting this thing on customers via your auto update feature. Perhaps this is to encourage formerly happy XP users to move to Vista :-(( I wonder how you propose to compensate users for all the hassles this update has caused?

    - Trouble installing WIN XP SP3 Hello I have two desktop computers and one laptop, all running Windows XP. I successfully downloaded and installed WIN XP SP3 on one desktop and the laptop. Iâ??m having trouble with the other desktop. SP3 seems to download with no problems, but does not install properly. Before beginning the installation, I close all programs, including the screensaver. The installation begins normally, proceeding through the following steps: Inspecting â?? Creating Third Party Driver List â?? Performing inventory â?? Checking product key â?? Running processes before install. It stays on this last task for nearly three minutes, and then, without warning or notice, the computer reboots; thereby aborting the installation. Iâ??ve tried it at least half a dozen times, with the same result. Any advice would be most appreciated. Cheers, -- Dickie Tag: Unable to boot up-Windows XP Tag: 255423

    - XP SP3 - "Limited or no connectivity" Yesterday I updated my Windows XP professional on my laptop using automatic updates and Service pack 3 was installed. After this installation took place, the message "limited or no connectivity" kept poping up and connection to internet failed. I checked internet connection on another PC to be sure that the problem was not from my internet service provider. I tried to reinstall network adapters drivers but the message "limited or no connectivity" kept appearing. I also attempted to system restore to a checkpoint before the service pack 3 was installed but still failed. Can anyone suggest a solution for this problem, please. thanks in advance for your help.

    - DO NOT INSTALL SP3 IF....... Do not install SP3 if you have a AMD processor OF ANY KIND! whether you have bought the system from a shop, or built the system yourself. There is a conflict between SP3 and the AMD processor! I dont know how, but it is currently affecting millions of people around the world with many more appearing every day. Luckily for most, it is just the continual reboot cycle or the continual BSOD's but for some (i being one of them), it has caused a more severe problem. On the system i have just built, i had a brand new, straight out of the box hard drive. I installed XP Pro SP2 with no problems and it was running fine for roughly 1 week. Then i get the windows update message that SP3 is available, so as any computer user who is worth his salt would do, i read all the available information on SP3 to see what it would contain and try and identify any risks with installing SP3. After not being able to find anything i decided that it would be safe to install.......... however, upon installing the SP, i started to get the continual reboot cycle, after 2 reboots, my computer then came up with the error STRAIGHT after the P.O.S.T screen that there was no valid system disk replace disk and retry! I checked my bios and that no longer detected the drive, i tried to access dos using a dos boot disk and searching for the drive that way, all to no avail. I have since contacted a computer repair company who told me that the boot sector had been deleted, finding this a bit unusual, i took the HDD to another computer repair company for a second opinion, only to be told the same thing! Therefore meaning that SP3 on some AMD systems has the ability to delete the boot sector. Which has cost me, not only in time wasted, but in money as i have now had to buy another HDD to replace the one that is about now as much use as a paper weight! although this does add some small novelty factor to any computer desk, it serves to remind me that Microsoft OBVIOUSLY have not tested the SP on a system containing an AMD processor, which is a bit naive considering that a lot of people who cannot afford a intel processor go down the AMD route, WHICH THEREFORE renders them liable for the costs of any parts damaged by their software due to negligence on their part. So for all those out there wanting to know if SP3 is ok to use, my advice to them is, if you have an AMD system, DO NOT INSTALL SP3 -- Don''t let your fears spoil your dreams..... the Ultimate Rig DOES exist.

    - XP SP3 Font Problem with Word Art Since installing service pack 3 the Arial Black font used with Word Art has changed. It now appears in an italics form and can't be toggled back to normal i.e. it is only available as an italic. I designed the menus for my website using Word Art within Front Page and with the font set to normal (I don't want it as italics). The Arial Black font when applied to normal text (i.e. not Word Art) still has normal and italic toggle options as before so it appears to be a change within Word Art only. Would appreciate any help to fix or understand this. Will other users with SP3 see the italics form as well or do I have a problem specific to my PC? Thanks.

If that doesn't work, use the Troubleshooter to try solve the problem." I tried to install the above three times without success. I tried to use the Troubleshooter and found it to be useless.

telling me that a problem has been detected and and Windows has been shut
down to prevent damage to my computer. I received the following technical
information:

I tried rebooting and following the instructions in the safe mode, but it
would not even let me in the safe mode, it won't let me do anything. It
worked fine the night before and I did not download anything or install any
new programs, the only thing that I know of there was a virus scan done.

Can anyone give me any help????
