Arouse windows xp

After the kaspersky repair by update I did not notice the pop ups tha the windows instal facility was corrupted, but possibly it sstill there.. Hmm at this point supposing the windows instal is corrupted is there a remedy for such to make it return to normal functionality?

I did try to restore but it stopped in the middleof the process saying there is an error in the restoration I was wondering that possibly as the C drive is loaded, there might be a need to format the drive or something similar so that there will be a clean restoration of the back up files? Now as I removed already the Acronis as its corrrupted I might have to reinstal it again to make and image, or is there a windows facility can do the same?

So, SP3 is in this list and there is a Remove button? But when you click on the button, you get a message? What is the complete text of this message?

And once more, did you configure a Clean Boot before attempting to remove SP3? Also, try Start Run and type "winver" without the quotes in the box.

What Service Pack level is indicated? This is important information!!! How large is C: and how much free space exists? Sounds like you forced some damage. How did you "forcibly remove" it? Still need some clarification: Did you use Acronis's imaging function or did you merely copy files and folders? If you did the latter, that wasn't an image. But if you did, where did you save the image archive? If you still have the archive on an external hard drive, all you need to do is boot off the Acronis CD and restore it.

Windows does not have an imaging utiliity. But also note that Acronis is superior and you already paid for it and they do offer support. What version of Acronis are you running? I remove the files by deleting it from the C drive any remnants as found in the Search option…. I can't answer, especially since I don't know the exact message at least, if we have the complete message, we can Google it.

It sounds like SP3 has been uninstalled. And 2. If you plan on keeping this PC, I would suggest replacing the hard drive with a larger one. Not good! When that happens, sometimes what you need to do is reinstall the program so that you may uninstall it! Since you made this image before you started having all these issues, what you should do is configure the BIOS to boot off your Acronis CD and restore the image.

Hopefully, the backup archive was validated! Sounds like a plan! Good luck. And keep in mind that once you restore this image, all your other headaches you reported that happened after the image was made will disappear.

Also, it's important to make sure you don't have any programs running in the background that's why I always recommend configuring a Clean Boot; and some have reported success using Safe Mode as well. I think that is the best way to do I am just reluctant to upgrade the hard drive as I am apprehennsive that I may not able to make a complete transfer of the C drive recovery partition to the New HDD. Still doing plans for it also That is more likely the restore option of the Winxp through system tools was unsuccessful.

Yes, that was my mistake , tsk tsk, tsk for being impatient with stubborn files I'm not sure I follow, but all you need to do is clone the old drive; the result will be a functionally identical new drive including the recovery partition , just larger. The new drive you purchase will have cloning software you can use. Or you may use Acronis's cloning function. Well Roy's SP3 update doesn't seem to be going well for one.

And Roy's problem of slower boots is a big no-no with me. No need for that on a netbook. You need MB free to install SP3. I didn't use it, so I uninstalled and it only gave me about MB more free.

I did image the SSD before removing it, so I have that at least. I have trimmed everything I can think of. I used to have 1. But even the current SP2 updates are eating up a lot of space. Soon, I am going to have to stop updating this computer since I just won't have the room for the future ones anyway. Which brings me to my next point.

While I can see the importance of plugging up security holes. But anything you don't want on your system has to make it through your firewall and anti-virus first anyway.

Thus since the anti-virus is looking for and blocking the software that wants to take advantage of the security holes, why bother patching the holes anyway? I do have other netbooks and other computers with SP2 which has a lot of room to install SP3. But since it just doesn't seem that important on this 4GB, I don't see it as important for the rest of my computers either. Getting about 6 computers to SP2 was a disaster for me.

As it worked, but performance went down the tubes. The last thing I need is a repeat of the same. Sadly, there are no SP3 Home install discs available this time around. Yes, there are. I have one! I would never buy a laptop with such a small amount 4GB, correct? I'm surprised they even exist. It's a lap "tot", not laptop. Not much else unless you use external storage.

Terry R. Around here one of the major bank was giving them away for free if you opened an account with them. Most people said they wanted a free toaster instead Regardless of what you call it, I think they're great and something I yearn for. They are small and light, and therefore easy to carry.

Since I use my laptop for almost nothing but E-mail when I'm traveling, it would be ideal for me. Which part is not believable? That a bank was giving them away for free or that people wanted free toasters instead?

I didn't get one I was already a customer, this was for new customers That could explain why upgrading to SP2 was hell for me. One would think as big and wonderful Microsoft is, they would run a verify and make sure everything is going to plan.

And if it doesn't, to report back and guess what is going wrong. But I guess Microsoft programmers are as dumb as nails.

I am just a simple electronic engineer and that seems to be programming to me. But I am just a hardware engineer who only understands 1's and 0's. Then the space disappears really fast. But in a year or two, that won't be enough either. Personally I love computing with only 10 watts of power. And anything less would be more wonderful.

So this is as low as I can safely go and still get the job done. Otherwise they are doing just fine. Sure beats those low powered PDAs I have been using. No wonder they are selling in the millions, eh? Hi olfart! I do have retail versions of XP that I never tried with these, so that might make a big difference.

My biggest beef is the wave of endless Windows updates. The last SP2 wave didn't seem like too much, sounded like 20MB or so.

But it must have been MB or more after installation. You mentioned MS Works v4. I believe I have that or at least v4. I could actually get to love MS Works except for the fact it doesn't support macros. It seems that MS has been holding that part back for some reason. Which forces me to MS Office.

Which always had this feature. I do have some paid version of Belarc Advisor, but I have to dig to find it. It is probably a year or two old. Is that good enough? No, I disabled the kaspersky before I did that update procedure But one thing that keeps me thinking if the space for the hard drive for such is just less than 2 gig then how come my C drive which had 4. Microsoft declares that SP3 will use no more than MB when everything is all said and done.

So I removed it and I only got back less than MB. So Roy, it seems very clear to me that the people at Microsoft knows nothing about math. Otherwise how do you explain this nonsense? I expect this nonsense from things like Linux which freeware means you have nobody to complain too , but Microsoft should know better! I might be confusing you with another poster, then, who thought he had completely disabled his AV but one of its processes ran anyway. If so, sorry about that.

The Start menu gets two columns, and now it is completely customizable by the user. Windows Explorer also gets new features and changes, like task pane useful file actions shown in the left hand sidebar , file thumbnails, sorting, grouping etc. Microsoft's developed multimedia applications have been updated and added more to the operating system, such as a new version of Windows Media Player, Windows Photo Viewer, and Movie Maker.

That's false. Windows update has been removed, this means you cannot manually install any updates if you needed to do so. Messin Prod Kyle Beats 3. All The Time 4. Sorry Ms Jackson 5. Gotta Make a Move 6. Aint My Fault
