How do I get SP2 for Windows XP Pro 32-bit?

I have Windows XP Pro 32-Bit... But as far as I know it does not have Service Pack 2 (SP2)... The Boot Camp instructions say you need at least SP2 to install boot camp and you can't install XP and then update to SP2... Is there a way around this?

Hi James,
easiest way to verify that your XP CD has SP2 incorporated is to look at the root directory of the CD for a file named 'win51ip.sp2'.
If there, then it is SP2. If not, well...
And there is a way to make yourself a XP CD with SP2 out of your pre-SP2 XP CD by following these instructions http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxpsp2slipstream.asp
But you have to do it on a Windows PC.
It might be possible (I haven't tried) to use something like VirtualBox http://www.virtualbox.org/ (or Parallels or VMWare Fusion) and install the pre-SP2 XP.
Then update that installed XP with the standalone SP2-updater and do the slipstream-process.
But as said, no guarantee it will work.
Hope it helps
Stefan

  • ITunes for Windows XP Pro 64-bit edition?

    When I joined the ranks of iPhone 3G owners @ 2 months ago, I was a bit disconcerted to see that iTunes wouldn't work with Windows XP Pro 64 bit edition. (Which is what is running on my primary PC). You Apple guys should know why I DON'T want to upgrade the machine to Vista! (It's running nice & stable on XP-Pro 64-bit). I've been able to sync the iPhone (& update it's software) using my girlfriend's PC (running 32-bit XP Home), but since she's none too careful about stuff like antivirus protection & adware, her machine's buggier than a roach motel! (Really needs to be re-imaged). Could I use the Vista 64-bit version of iTunes on my PC? REALLY rather use it than her machine! Thanks! Tom

    There is no version of iTunes that supports the 64-bit version of Windows XP and never will be. If you search this forum for "XP 64" you'll find threads describing the process some people have used to "crowbar" iTunes onto XP 64, with varying levels of success, none of them complete.

  • How can I get airport for windows to detect my newly installed time capsule?

    I purchase Time Capsule and Apple TV nearly 2 months ago. I'm just trying to set up Time Capsule via my PC. I've downloaded the Airport for Windows Vista and have got my device already hooked up, but Airport is not detecting the device. I've tried unplugging and rebooting all devices but nothing that I've tried has worked. Any helpful ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    So you have a Mac somewhere??
    Is the TC plugged into the computer using ethernet?? If not do so.. press and hold the reset for 10sec until the front led flashes rapidly.. you want no other network connection to the TC or the computer.
    Make sure the computer is set in local network,, ie home, not work or public.
    You might have to turn off the firewalls.. if a laptop they are sometimes provided with multiple firewalls.. turn all of them off.
    Make sure you are getting an ip from the TC.. if not there is something wrong.. check the ethernet cord is good, and the connectivity led goes on, on both the TC and the computer.. plug it into a different port.
    Once you have access then you can complete the setup.

  • How do I get support for Windows 7 on, and a W7 backup disk for, my new ThinkPad?

    I know these have got to be stupid questions, since I am sure that they have to have been asked before (unless they are clearly explained somewhere that everyone else has found, and I am somehow completely missed it), but I did search the forums and was surprised NOT to find any info on getting Windows 7 technical support after it was factory installed in a month-old Thinkpad. I wonder if the apparent defects in my W7, or maybe a different problem in my browser, could be affecting my ability to search to forums?
    I believe that my Windows 7 is defective, but calling Lenovo, they just talked about reinstalling Win7 from the partition, which makes no sense, if my W7 copy is defective, wouldn't the copy in the partition be defective too? My mom said she ordered a $20 W7 backup disk with the PC, but I never received it, and now Lenovo tech tells me those aren't actually available, and she must have confused it with the W7 upgrade disk, which didn't sound right, since I thought the upgrade disk was over $100, and I never received that one either anyway. If the W7 that was factory-installed is defective, I am assuming it's a copy of the same one in the partition, so that partition recovery is not feasible, is there any way to reorder a W7 re-install disk that will still register as Genuine Windows 7 on a Thinkpad? Now when I search the Lenovo site, I cannot find ANY W7 disks of any kind, neither a backup for factory-installed W7, nor for upgrade from a prior Windows version. Does anyone know how I could go about re-ordering the W7 backup disk when it appears to be missing from the online catalog? Unless this too is a defect in my browser search: can someone give me the link to page where I could select and re-purchase a W7 backup disk?
    It has been a few years since I had a new PC, but I have never even heard of one before that did not come with instruction manuals and OS and support disks, and did not provide any tech support for its own factory-installed software or Windows, at least during the first few months of ownership. Where do new Thinkpad owners turn for individual W7 software support, since Microsoft swears it is Lenovo's responsibility to support W7 under its OEM license, yet Lenovo swears they only support hardware? It almost seems that new users are expected to know everything already, or be initiated enough with the product to know exactly what your problem is and what's causing it, in order to find an online fix. Who do you call if W7 or Lenovo software (but not an ISP issue) appear to be doing something to prevent online access, but there are no discernible hardware issues? Where do you call for individualized W7, as well as Lenovo software, support, especially after no one online has ever heard of your specific issues and has no workable ideas for fixing them, or when your problem prevents you from getting online at all?
    Thanks so much

  • Drivers and software Hp deskjet 2050 j510a All-in-wonder for Windows 8 Pro x64

    Hi,
    from when I update my system with Windows 8 Pro I can' t use the printer Hp Deskjet 2050  J510a.
    I downloaded the latest version of drivers and software for Windows 8 Pro 64 bit:
    DJ2050_J510_Basicx64_1313.exe
    The application give me at the and of installation the message:
    "installation not completed"
    and in details I can see:
    "Installation error. Operative system not supported. This software can be installed only in Windows XP, Vista, Seven. Change operative system or install the printer in another computer."
    The printer as been recognized from the system, and in panel control I can see it, but when I print any page the printer make only half print and than show me a message of " not original or used printer cartridges, press OK to continue or cancel do delate the print" but the print cannot be completed untill the end.
    Cartridges are original; I tested the the printer too in an another computer with different operative system: the printer work correctly.
    Thanks for your attention

  • Cannot install and use dell 1130n and hp 1022n in windows 7 pro 64 bit os for dell pc

    HP driver list does not appear to offer printer driver online for windows 7 pro 64 bit os. Only win 7 64 bit is visible option on HP and verified PC is a wind 7 pro 64 bit os.  Is this why my installed HP 1022n printer will never  be able to print?  Tried plain win 7 64 bit os and dell pc  optiplex 380  but I got nothing.  No print.  the HP 1102n is default printer.  thoughts?

    Hi @dazed1 ,
    I see by your post that you need the drivers for Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. I would like to help.
    I checked the website and there is a Full Feature and Basic driver available for Windows 7 64 bit.  HP LaserJet 1022n Printer Drivers. Did you try both of these drivers?
    I would try and install the preinstalled Windows drivers, if you are having issues using the downloaded drivers on the site with your Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Run the Add a printer wizard from Devices and Printers.
    You could also plug and play the drivers. Connect the printer to the computer and see if Windows will detect the printer and install the drivers automatically.
    Have a great day!
    Thank You.

  • Photoshop 7 (& other old Adobe programs) installation in Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

    Recently I purchased a new computer running Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) with 2 TB hard drive and 16 GB memory and faced the task of trying to install Photoshop 7, Illustrator 8, Acrobat 8 Pro, and Dreamweaver CS3 that I had used very satisfactorily on my old Windows XP SP 3, 2GB memory computer with less than 1 TB hard drive. I now have all of these running successfully on my new computer and thought I would share here my experience gleaned from a number of other forums after many hours. I had the most problem with Photoshop 7 which I will describe last. In all cases I had the original genuine installation disks. These are generally needed except for Illustrator 8.
    Dreamweaver CS3 -- This installed easily in the Program Files (x86) folder & does not seem to require running in XP compatibility mode
    Acrobat 8 Pro -- Same as Dreamweaver CS3
    Illustrator 8 -- The installation disk would not work for Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. A solution I found in a Microsoft forum is simply to copy the Illustrator folder and contents into the ProgramData folder on the new computer along with the following dll files in the C\Windows folder of the old computer: icccodes.dll, kpcp32.dll, kpsys32.dll, pcdlib32.dll, pfpick.dll, sprof32.dll  These go right into the Illustrator folder. This program needs to be run using XP compatibility mode (after copying preceding files go to Control Panel --> Programs --> Programs and Features --> Run programs made for previous versions of Windows -- follow directions there). It might be possible to copy into the Program Files (x86) folder too, but the ProgramData folder works. I have not actually used Illustrator after doing this, but since it started ok, I presume that there will be no problems.
    Photoshop 7 -- My Photoshop 7 was an upgrade from Photoshop 5. The PS 5 installation disk would not run on Windows 7 & when I tried the PS 7 upgrade disk (autorun) I got the message that it could not find a previous version of PS & then shut down the installation. I tried the method used for Illustrator 8 above (suggested on yet another forum with an additional dll identified in another Windows folder), but I got the message "Could not complete your request because of missing or invalid personalization information". This evidently had to do with missing authentication serial code number in the registry. I found some discussion of this in forums but no workable fix in my case which involved an upgrade. Then I discovered inormation in another forum which explained that installation with the disks could be done by inserting the upgrade disk and running it from the setup.exe file instead of autorun. When you do this you are presented with the option of proving your previous version of PS by simply inserting the earlier version PS disk at this pint of the process. After doing this the installation with the upgrade disk proceeds fine. The PS 7 program can be installed in the Adobe folder within the Program Files (x86) folder. However, after doing this and trying to start PS 7 you get the following error (if your hard drive is 1 TB or greater in capacity): "Could not inititialize Photoshop because the scratch disk are full" After much reading I learned that this occurs because PS 7 apparently cannot recognize partitions (volumes) 1 TB or greater. What you need to do is set up an additional partition (volume) on your hard drive. This is easy to do. Go to Windows Help, search on "create partition", choose "Create and format a hard disk partition", and follow the directions. I decided to make a 50 GB partion I named "scratch". The system will assign a drive letter to it. To use the new partion to allow PS 7 to start you need to start PS 7 and immediately press the ALT and CTRL keys together. This will bring up a window where you tell PS 7 which drives to use for its scratch disk. You need to select the newly-created scratch disk(partition) in the first choice and leave the other choices as "None". After doing this you have one last issue. When you try to save any file in PS 7 you cannot save it directly anywhee on the C drive since that drive is 1 TB or greater. What I do is save it to the scratch drive and then later move it from there to where I want it on my C drive. I have seen it suggested to install the PS 7 program itself on the newly-created scratch drive, but I don't know if this would allow saving files to the C drive. When installed the way I have described it does not seem to require operating in the XP compatibility mode.
    Hope this helps those of you who prefer working with the programs they are used to on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one which has already been described is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
    Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
    Choosing the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano). You can read more about playlists at these links:
