Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP1) when

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft

Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you perform a new Windows XP

installation or you repair a Windows XP installation

" windows XP sp0 " is no longer supported. Either install SP2/SP3, or,

if XP is pirated, obtain a legit copy.

That doesn't provide the information we need. Please go to the Start Menu and

select Run. Type

 

winver

 

into the box and press OK. Take a screenshot of the "About Windows" box that

appears and post it here, or type out everything it says on the line between

"Microsoft ® Windows" and "Copyright © 1981-2001 Microsoft Corporation".

[To keep track of things, it helps immensely if you include all of previous

message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup. Thank you.]

 

You're running WinXP SP1: You must be running WinXP SP2 or WinXP SP3 to be

able to install updates.

 

============================

NB: You will want to print the following instructions or copy/paste into

Notepad for offline reference!

 

1. Download & save to your desktop:

2. Read & heed:

http://msmvps.com/blogs/harrywaldron/archive/2008/05/08/windows-xp-sp3-read-all-prerequisites-for-a-successful-installation.aspx

 

3. Logged in as Administrator, if necessary, double-click on the saved file

to install WinXP SP3. [Yes, you can skip SP2.] Follow all prompts, be

patient, and reboot twice.

 

4. Do Resolution Method 2 here (trust me):

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943144

 

5. Go to Windows Update | Install any required software then click on

CONTINUE | Select CUSTOM and scan | Install any critical security updates

offered. Again, follow all prompts.

 

[i do NOT recommend installing IE7 via Windows Update.]

 

6. Make certain that Automatic Updates is enabled; cf.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306525

 

Addtional References:

 

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for

Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3), until 14 Apr-09. Chat and

e-mail support is available only in the United States and Canada. Go to

http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default.aspx?gprid=1173 | select "Windows

XP" then select "Windows XP Service Pack 3"
