Guest Sunny Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Hi, A Motherboard failure that took out the CPU and one hard drive resulted in: A new Motherboard, CPU and Hard drives with WinXP SP2 ghosted from my old hard drive. Things seem to be OK, but for : 1. Win Update site scans my PC and after offering SP3 (refused) : a. "Review other updates" b. "Need to download/install latest version of update" c. "Update Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 failed to update" Any attempt to review my update history gets me nowhere. (I read that MSI.DLL Ver 3.1.4000.1823 was replaced by Ver 3.1.4000.2435 (Feb 2005) but the version I have is 3.0.3790.2180 which seems a bit old) I have downloaded the latest ver of MSI 3.1 but not game to install it because of the "backup your system" warning. The other problems are : 1. Help and Support "index" is blank ,and 2. Outlook Express is not creating backup files in the recycle bin, when "deleting/compacting" Any help appreciated

I thought a new motherboard created the need for a reauthorization of Windows XP. For instance, if you just had to replace the mobo, and still had the hard old drive working, I thought there would be a complaint about the new mobo.

For instance, if > you just had to replace the mobo, and still had the hard old drive > working, I thought there would be a complaint about the new mobo. It would create a need for activation. But, it is absolutely trivial to address this need if you have a legal license. If you haven't had to activate in the last few months, you can almost certainly activate over the net in seconds. At worst, you'll be presented with a toll-free phone number and the process will take minutes. Simply tell the rep that you had to reinstall due to a crash, it is the same system, read them the install key, and you'll be given a 40-character or so string to enter. And then you're done with activation. In the case above, however, there's another issue if the motherboard is not an identical model to the original. If the hardware differs, some drivers will be invalid, and a repair install is usually the best approach, even starting from a restored image. It will then be necessary to install the latest service pack (if the ghosted image is pre-SP1, that or SP2 will have to be nstalled before SP3). And the OP clearly hasn't installed all the updates.

And the OP > clearly hasn't installed all the updates. The Motherboard is completely different to the old one. Looks like the shop ghosted my fully patched WinXP, then a repair install etc. (I don't know if they "activated" it) The Update problem has been fixed as suggested by : Using Resolution 1 from < http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144 > (which now allows me access to Windows Update and 95 updates, even though the "uninstall record" in the Windows directory, shows them all as being done :-)
