    - Windows SP3 ddoes not recognize my OS's language. Downloaded the stand alone file for an update to SP3 in my Windows XP Media Center Edition computer but although I downloaded the right file (SP3, Swedish version), I keep getting the message that installation is not possible since the file and my OS have different languages. I know that not to be the case since my OS is in Swedish as well. Does anybody have any ideas as to what the glitch may be? Thanks. Tag: Windows XP SP3 update Tag: 254813

    - uninstalling SP3 was told by MS Support not to use Add/Remove when removing SP3 but instead to use System restore to revert to previous points prior to installing SP3. SInce I cannot revert to a previous point created by System point prior to installing SP3, I am thinking of reinstalling SP3 without remove it or remove it and then reinstall it. Which option would you guys recommend? Tag: Windows XP SP3 update Tag: 254809

    - Hardware devices not recognized after SP3 update Just updated XP Pro to SP3. I thought it went smooth until I realized that Windows XP Pro does not recognize either of my two optical drives, a DVD ROM and a DVD-RW. The drivers are installed and updated, at least according to Device Manager, but it can not locate them - they are listed in Device Manager. I continue to get an error message, Code 41.

    - I learned, SP 3 I learned several months ago about this website after having issues wit another MS Update. It only took a week or two for them to send out a fi for the problem. But, what a pain. I learned after that experience to come here prior to downloading an updates from our trusty MS. It seems it is paying off once again. will not download SP 3 anytime soon until I here that it doesn't screw up m computer. The reason is because I don't have hours and hours to spen learning how to stay calm and muddle my way through the MS maze o fixit articles. I have a job and a little bit of a life. Why woul anyone who uses this forum make a major MS download without checkin here first??

    - Wireless Failure after Service Pack 3 After configuring a new installation of XP at Service pack 2 Compact wireless usb adapter (model wusb54gc) I connected to the update site to download the patches and went ahead with sp3. Since instaling sp3, if I use the XP configuration utility I cannot get any connection and if I use the Linksys tool, I get a very low speed. The only way I got this to work was deleting and reinstalling the device driver. Needless to say I have stopped all upgrading until we can figure out why wireless is being disrupted. Is it USB related or is it wireless? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Tag: Windows XP SP3 update Tag: 254753

    - windows xp service pack 3 can anyone help me out here with this question: Loooking on this discussion board, i can see that there are problems with sp3, however I still decided to go and download it. BUT when I go to the windows update website to get SP3, it tells me that infact there are no critical updates to install which means it does not show service pack 3. I do not understand why as I have service pack 2 installed and the update was put on windows update this morning. Anyone know why i have currently denied access to service pack 3? I AM A HOME USER SO THE CONFLICT ISSUE WITH SP3 DOES NOT AFFECT ME. Help would be appreciated because at least you guys on this board can download SP3. Tag: Windows XP SP3 update Tag: 254740

    - Windows XP SP3 and .NET upgrades I installed SP3 version 20080414.031525 downloaded from Microsoft today. Installation went OK. Two packages failed (KB928365 and KB928366). Those are .NET 2.0 and .NET 1.1 SP1. There is .NET 2.0 already installed but I cannot either repair or remove it (Contol Panel->Add/Remove Software). I tried to install those two many times. KB928365 - error code 0x663 KB928366 - error code 0xE0434F4D There was an error window: SLx(x).tmp (x(x) was different each time). SLx(x).tmp has encountred a problem and needs to close. History of ugrades: From 2004 it was a plain vanilla XP Home. I had no problem. MSI Motherboard with Athlon64 3000+, 2.0 GHz and 1.5 GB RAM. HDD 120 GB + 320 GB. Dual boot Windows and Ubuntu 8.04 on separated physical drives. A month ago I needed SP2 to run a new hardware (E-MU Tracker Pre USB 2.0). So I upgraded to SP1 + upgrades, SP2 + upgrades. Everything was fine until upgrades to SP2. My computer did boot, past GRUB (dual boot menu), XP screen and Welcome but my desktop had a strange red mark, and my mouse and keyboard were dead. Last known working... didn't help. I started from the last automatic recovery point using Safe Mode. Now everything was fine. At least it seemed so. Sony Vegas didn't work anymore. An error occured during the current operation. The Microsoft .NET runtime could not be initialized. Please install the .NET Framework (download is available from Windows Update). Well, that was the first time I tried to repair and uninstall .NET. Didn't work. Than I installed SP3 RC2. Everything was smooth. But the same problem with Vegas. Now I installed the finel version od SP3 (uninstalled SP3 RC2 before). The Vegas (.NET) problem persist plus upgrades of .NET. Should I try to uninstall .NET 1.1? Or just install entire .NET without uninstall? -- ZoxX Tag: Windows XP SP3 update Tag: 254716

    - started with "blue screen and ended up with "missing system32\hal. Hi folks... I'm praying somone can assist me as I've been waiting to hear back from Microsoft on this as it started (when I noticed - my daughter's computer) when trying to run updates from Microsoft. Her system is older, running XP Pro and there isn't much on it believe it or not. AVG is the anti-virus and I've also tried running some registry scans. No avail, but cleaned a few things up. Mostly having to run in Safe Mode and Safe Mode w/Networking, yet will still eventually end up getting that blue screen and many times re-looping and getting stuck & F8 doesn't always work either. Again, this is my daughterâ??s computer, and I believe this started about a week or so ago. She finally told me a few days ago and when I started taking a look at her system, this is all new, not past issues Iâ??ve experienced. 1. The first thing I tried to do was to run a scan on her system to see if there were virus, etc. 2. Then I tried to run a windows update and thatâ??s when I personally encountered the first blue screen of manyâ?¦ 3. I had already attempted many times to Use the â??Last Known Good Configurationâ?? to no avail, a few times the system couldnâ??t even get to running Windows without having returned directly to the blue screen. 4. Then I was able to use the Safe Mode with Networking, tried running Windows Update that way, didnâ??t work. Multiple attempts each ending in Blue Screen 5. I noticed that a message finally gave me something about a Driver issue, so went to Device Manager, and updated/reinstalled drivers a display screen and a multimedia device (neither of which I am familiar), but then the Device Mgr was clear. 6. Then attempted to run Windows update and it did actually download the Visualization Tool & Installed, thought I was actually getting somewhereâ?¦ But then after it asked me to continue on with scanning for updates, I was back to the blue screen and it proceeded to no longer be able to start Windows again, just re-routing back to Blue Screen. 7. Last Known Good Configuration again, didnâ??t work. I do have screen shots of the blue screens it gives, but the error codes are of no help as the four it gives me, always change. I've finally turned the damn thing off as it was just re-looping to blue screen and couldn't load windows, so after 3 days of tyring to figure it out, I've given up.... Lastly, apparently my daughter turned the computer on, and now all it shows is a black screen with the "missing system32\hal.dll" file. Now I've seen this when I got a brand new system running both Mac & OS systems, when I loaded windows. I figured out a work around for it on the Mac, but this system only runs Windows, so not sure what to do from here with it... She has some things on her system that she's hoping I don't have to do a fresh install so any suggestions are tremendously appreciated. Please let me know what further info I can provide to be of assistance. Thanks so much, Sunny Tag: Windows XP SP3 update Tag: 254707

    - Some computers does not download updates... Hi all, A week ago I installed WSUS 3.0 SP1 on a Windows Server 2003 (domain controller) computer. I had been running WSUS 1.0 for many years without problems. Now I configured everything and it looks all is OK but my test PC does not get the updates. Everybody is reporting to the WSUS server. I authorized a bunch of updates for this test PC. In my settings there is not timeline for updates to avoid clogging the slow link to remote sites when time expires. I have also configured BITS to restrict bandwidth usage by WSUS to certain computers. The BITS remains the same as was configured to work with WSUS 1.0. I already checked the result policy by using Group Policy Management console to a test PC and the policies are applied as expected. I checked the IIS log on the WSUS server to check if the test PC is downloading the updates and I found a log like this to appear several times a day since new WSUS installation GET /selfupdate/WSUS3/x86/Other/wsus3setup.cab 0805061117 80 - 10.10.10.150 Windows-Update-Agent 200 0 0 and no more. This is the only GET I have for 10.10.10.150 computer. Instead other computers are downloading updates. For example: GET /Content/37/C87E2FE94DD873224AFA65E2AF2473CA3E307A37.CAB - 80 - 10.10.41.222 Microsoft+BITS/6.6 206 0 0 It is curious but it looks like all computers in the network 10.10.10.x are experiencing the same problem like 10.10.10.150. The WSUS server is located in the same 10.10.10.x network What can be wrong? Any hint is welcomed Thanks in advance Sammy These are my test PC 10.10.10.150 GPO WSUS settings: Policy Setting Winning GPO Allow Automatic Updates immediate installation Enabled WSUS Test Allow non-administrators to receive update notifications Enabled WSUS Test Automatic Updates detection frequency Enabled WSUS Test Check for updates at the following interval (hours): 1 Policy Setting Winning GPO Configure Automatic Updates Enabled WSUS Test Configure automatic updating: 3 - Auto download and notify for install The following settings are only required and applicable if 4 is selected.

    - XP SP3 Major flaw I was wondering if anyone else had this issue. On my wife's HP and my son's PC, did new installs, however express update chooses to install SP3 which then prevented any other updates from being downloaded or shown after. Thinking it installed all updates, Windows live mail, etc... would not install. After contacting the support, the only thing that worked was to restore to the fresh install prior to SP3 and then live apps worked and installed flawlessly. Another thing, I updated manually and even then had a hard time and had to go back to the update site manually, "not from PC" else couldn't get any updates besides the SP3 update. What a mess. A note:even when trying to go to update site using browser, if SP3 installed first, couldn't get any other updates. My PC handled it fine but I already had all my updates and wasn't a fresh install as the other two. My suggestion, manually install ALL updates except for SP3 , then SP3 although, I am not chancing installing SP3 on those systems quite yet. Paul -- Duh-Oh! Tag: Windows XP SP3 update Tag: 254683

    - WindowsUpdate_80070658 Office updates fail to install. When I got the update that installed service pack 1 for office 2007 all of my shortcut icons disapeared and all office shotcuts wont work . so inorder to open and office program I resorted to finding the icons and puting the new shortcuts on my desktop. Now I have an update for office that has been trying to install and fails repeatedly since 4/8 as a result I am NOT a happy person. and really tired of the fact that MS refuses to adress this issue. if anyone has a solution (Beside switching to Mac which Will be my next computer) then please let me know.

    - XP SP3 hung, hung and crashed (3 failures) Existing software: Windows XP Professional SP2, IE7. 1. [First installation attempt] Automatic updates says updates available. It's SP3. Yippi. Accepting, then update icon disappears and after some hours of absolutely nothing, I go to Windows Update site. 2. [Second installation attempt] Installing from Internet Explorer. The EULA is even more offensive than usual, granting the right for Microsoft to install anything and to collect information about anything without even notifying me. Oh well, I accept anyway (I mean, I'd already done so without even glancing at it, the first time, I think). Progress meter is *fakeware*. First completely blank, then after half hour or so some activity but lying about what it does. E.g. downloading with zero network activity (I'm checking in Task Manager, yes it's really just lying). When it finally hangs completely there's still something ticking in IE: it acquires a new handle each second (almost precisely), without releasing. Other progs show zero activity. No CPU, no i/o. 3. [Third installation attempt] Checking Windows Update for what to do. Following directions, I download complete SP3 as single file, reboot, and joy over joys uninstall is invoked automatically and actually works (or seems to!). I turn off network connection, turn off antivirus (AVG), run the thing from downloaded file, and when I return to computer after some time there's Just In Time Debugging reporting some access violation or whatever it was in the install program, i.e. a crash. Checking the update log there are no obvious error codes, but it seems there are more installation attempts than I did explicitly. Uninstall works automatically on reboot this time also, although fucks up connection to USB disk and reports it's unformatted, would I like to format?

    - All Microsoft updates fail After a recent software error i needed to reinstall Windows XP. After the inital install, I begin to use MS update, but shortly after i install IE7 i can no longer use MS update. the files download but when installing it fails without an error code. Install XP with SP2 from CD Install Symantec Endpoint Protection 11 Install wireless driver Install MS update (over windows update) and Genuine advantage and other items that are required to access MS update Install SP3 Install all other critical updates (IE 7) Install updates to IE 7 All further updates fail, and removing the last update, IE7 and Symantec do nothing except stopping me to upgrading back to IE7. I'm going to go and do a reinstall without symantec now, so with the exception of the wireless drivers all the software will be MS, trying to narrow down where the issue is. If anyone has come across the issue before or knows of a fix i would most appreciate it. Tag: Windows XP SP3 update Tag: 254645

    - SP3 Access denied. My OS: WinXP SP2 fully patched, all updates are current (except KB936929). Capacity: 74.5 GB Used space: 16.4 GB Free space: 58.0 GB Prior downloading SP3 (KB936929) I defragged the disk, scanned with Kaspersky AV for malware, then paused the AV application and unchecked 'Use real-time protection' in WinDef. The System Restore points were flushed also. I don't have a 3rd party firewall and use the in-build application. The download went well and is shown in Add or Remove Programs panel but I got an "Access denied" error during installation. The installation process stopped and I had to click a prompt to uninstall SP3. I started the entire process again from the beginning (3 times) but still no luck. According to the progress bar, I noticed that the installation process terminated at about 50% or so while trying to install an item called UNIDRV.DLL (I was very fortunate to notice this).

She has always used AVG free antivirus on her computer and although she has had this computer for 18 months, this is the first time she has had a definition update for Defender - I don't remember any either. She checked to see what version of Defender she has and it is Def Ver 1.31.9351.0 KB915597 issued 24 April shows a Def Ver of 1.31.9309.0. Is this an older version to the one she already has?

    - Windows XP Service Pack 3 Error Code: 0x80070005 Trying to update this Windows XP SP2 box to SP3. Went to the update web site, downloaded OK. During installation, had registry access errors (!) on HKCR\RDSServer.DataFactor.2.8.1 and a couple of related keys. Changed permissions, tried again. No pop-up errors about the registry this time, but XP3 update failed again, error code 0x80070005. Found the comments from people who had similar problems on XP2, with especial regard to KB873148. Using the info in that KB article, checked %windir%\svcpack.log and, yep, had DoRegistry falures in there.. So, turned on full debug as described in the article, reran the thing until it died. Fired up my local text editor (xemacs, what the heck), and went looking for the failed registry keys in %windir%\setupapi.log. Only problem - no failed registry keys! Instead, have the following error messages at the end of the log: #-198 Command line processed: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysocmgr.exe" /y /i:C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysoc.inf #E077 Could not locate a non-empty section [iis_common_install] when calculating disk space in "C:\WINDOWS\INF\iis.inf".

Error 0xe0000102: The required line was not found in the INF. OK. I am now at a loss. The other suggestion in KB873148 was to use secedit.exe and reset the permissions to something better. But this machine is running XP2 Home, and that doesn't have the program. What now? Or do I have to wipe this machine and start over? Help, somebody? K. Becker Tag: Windows XP SP3 update Tag: 254616

    - Working with Optional Updates I am having a difficult time trying to decide whether or not to install optional updates. Is Windows Update for XP and/or Vista smart enough to only recommend updates for components I actually have on my machine? Or must I check to see whether or not a particular update even applies to my situation? And why are they "optional" in the first place? How can I make an educated decision about installing them? Could it "hurt" anything to just go ahead and install all of the optional updates? It's a no brainer with foreign language updates; if I don't speak French, I don't need extra stuff for that language. Much harder for everything else though. The following are the 7 optional updates that Windows Updates is presently offering me: 1. Microsoft Silverlight 1.0 (KB946609) 2. Atheros Communications Inc. - Networking - Atheros AR5007UG Wireless Network Adapter. 3. CHIC - Other Hardware - USB Browser Mouse 4. Dell Inkjet Drivers - Printers - Dell AIO Printer A940 5. NVIDIA - system - nForce HyperTransport Bridge 6. NVIDIA Corporation driver update for NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller 7. NVIDIA driver update for NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller Thanks!
