I don't want to buy a new one. {service packs are free}. The windows does not activate. oobe/msoobe/a does not open . I downloaded xp sp3 by torrent but cannot transfer it on any external memory. i am helpless.

"Service Pack installation cannot continue".... Ok I done everything to try to resolve the problem. Why isn't there a tool from the win 7 sp1 x64 to tell you EXACTLy what is missing so I can fix it? Discription of the missing items would be most helpful. This is one frustrating mess. SP1 doesn't like x64 Win7 Ultimate. Now cause I cannot install SP1, I cannot update to IE10 cause it requires that SP1 be installed.. Please help And yes, I spent too many hours researching "fixes to try with no avail".....I still get the Cannot continue message I upgraded this, disabled that, cold boot...everything that is written I tried View this thread

Was working away happily one night when suddenly I couldn't select any values from drop down lists in IE9, lists I use daily at sites used allday. I had just looked at a humerous email and immediately thought virus, but after trying all my virus softwares, nothing, so rebuilt PC from an Acronis image backup, and all OK, then applied all available windows updates available since the date of the image, all working fine, then suddenly....problem back. So, uninstalled the just applied updates one by one, and finally, took out KB2670838 and all worked OJ again... THANKS MR MICROSOFT! Have always been a supporter, but this took 2 days of my life, and some trus I had in m…

The updater gives me the error code of C80001FE. I have tried everything in this thread: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2509997 Some of these removed the error code and resulted in the updater just stopping while checking for updates (going back to the screen saying "click here to check for updates") and the last thing I tried resulted in the return of the error code. This is ridiculous. My computer is brand new, as is this copy of windows. View this thread

Hi, Setup a new Gateway desktop PC at work purchased from TigerDirect (brand new). Restored files and programs from the old PC and dialed in the settings as I want them. Had Windows Update set to install & update automatically so I would not have to manage the updates as it is not my machine. About a month ago there were some Windows Updates that needed to be done, so I went ahead and performed them when I was doing my normal maintenance routine. Upon restart (after installing the updates and Win8 prompting me to reboot), the PC would come up with DRIVER_EXPOOL_CORRUPTED error and would not start. Had to do a System Restore to get the PC working again…

I'm using Windows 7. However, I installed Microsoft Photo Editor from the XP disk so an existing Access database OLE will work correctly. Now I'm getting XP Service Pack updates listed as important in Windows Update. Should I install these XP updates even though I only have Microsoft Photo Editor? If not, how do I make these XP update recommendations go away? View this thread
