Answer» Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600) If automatic updating is on, it will automatically install SP3. The file size is quite large, so that's probably why it says "Installing update..." for so long.well why don't u try to turn off automatic uptade?[ok, I will try that. Thank you. quote author=NEO link=topic=66231.msg428219#msg428219 date=1221409910] well why don't u try to turn off automatic uptade? [/quote]nothing i hope it will help uthanks very much. But it did not help I hve a kooky cmputer. Quote from: NEO on September 14, 2008, 10:46:42 AM nothing i hope it will help uGo to Start / Run and type in sfc /scannow and hit Enter... Have your XP CD handy as it will ask for it... When it finishes re-boot and then try to download the Windows Installer Fix again... Thanks much, patio, Will do this when I get back,. Have to leave for a couple of hours. I really appreciate it. Will that do away with IE7 as I just recently installed it? Quote from: patio on September 14, 2008, 10:55:28 AM Go to Start / Run and type in sfc /scannow and hit Enter...Nope, this won't affect Internet Explorer. This scans the system files and checks to see if any are corrupted. Thank you, kpac. Quote from: kpac on September 14, 2008, 01:09:50 PM Nope, this won't affect Internet Explorer.

And I read a lot on computer help sites to not install it yet as too many bugs. Quote from: killerb255 on September 14, 2008, 05:10:56 PM Just out of curiosity, why are you avoiding SP3?BTW, turning off updates completely is not a good idea. Notify, but not install is probably the best option. As for SP3, this is my take.... If someone is willing to bet me $100, that one's computer is totally clean of malware, spyware, temporary files, installs leftovers, uninstall leftovers, and such, I'll say, go ahead, and install SP3. If the one is not sure sure, I'd say, leave it alone. It's not a crucial service pack by any means. More, or less it's just bunch of updates from SP2 times to SP3 times. If you kept the computer UPDATED, you can skip SP3, if you wish. Thanks, Broni. I changed to Not Install from Notify as when I would restart the computer or shut it down, I kept getting the messge 1 of 1 installing. That kept saying that for over an hour so I would have to power off computer each time. Microsoft Update says I need the Net Framework 1.1 update and Silverlight but it will not install them.
