Is SP3 required for W XP?

I never got around to installing SP3 and am happy with my computer the way it is.  It is running Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 2 and a zillion other programs.  Of course we all know people whose attempt to install SP3 results in no usable computer at all, so I'm reluctant to do it.  Does Lightroom 3 REALLY require SP3?  It is Windows XP Media Center Edition 2002, otherwise up to date, including my video driver.
I suppose at some point I told it not to install SP3. I can't even get Windows Update to offer it now so I have downloaded the entire package, 316MB.
This description does not inspire me to risk my computer:
"Windows® XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) includes all previously released updates for the operating system. This update also includes a small number of new functionalities, which do not significantly change customers’ experience with the operating system."
Judy

I've run both LR3 Beta 1 and Beta 2 in XP SP2 without problems.  Like you, I am very reluctant to upgrade to SP3 without a compelling reason.

  • App-V 5.0 SP3 SQL Script modifications (KB3031340) Required for both Management and Reporting Databases?

    Can anyone confirm if I need to modify the InsertVersionInfo.sql and Permisioins.sql scripts for both the APP-V Management and Reporting databases?  KB3031340 only references the Management Database, but I suspect it is required for both.
    Thank You!

    It should only apply to Management Database. There weren't any changes to the Reporting DB AFAIK.

  • Questions on SETSPN syntax and what is required for MANUAL AD auth

    I'll preface this by stating that I don't need to do all the extra stuff for Vintela SSO, SSO to database, etc.  I just need to know precisely what is necessary to do to get AD authentication working.  I managed to get it working in XIr2 previously but it's been so long and I'm not 100% sure that everything I wound up doing was absolutely necessary that I wanted to sort it out for good as we look at going to XI 3.1 SP3.
    In the XI 3.1 SP3 admin guide, page 503, the SETSPN command which is
    used as part of the setup process to establish a service account to
    enable AD authentication is outlined as follows:
    SETSPN.exe -A <ServiceClass>/<DomainName> <Serviceaccount>
    The guide suggests that the <ServiceClass> can be anything you want to
    arbitrarily assign. If I choose something other than the
    suggested "BOBJCentralMS" value, is there anywhere else I have to
    specify this value to allow the service account to function properly?
    The guide suggests that the <DomainName> should be the domain name on
    which the service account exists however I've seen many posts online which seem to
    indicate this <DomainName> should actually be the FQDN of the server
    running the CMS service instead of the general domain name.
    Clarification there would be very helpful if anyone has some insight.

    The CMS account can have an SPN of spaghetti/meatballs, there are no requirements (cept 2 characters on each side of the / I believe). The SPN created should be the value entered in the CMC > Authentication > Windows AD
    The account must run the SIA and it therefore must have AD permissions. Now if you are using IIs or client tools you don't even need an SPN. The SPN is for kerberos only which is required for java app servers.
    The vintela SSO white paper in the this forums sticky post explains the roles of a service account.

    AirPort Utility is required if you need to set up or change the settings on an Apple AirPort router.  It is not required if you are simply connecting to the wireless network from a PC.

  • CPU requirement for Premiere Elements 10?

    Hi there,
    Unfortunately, I think I know the answer to this already, but thought I'd toss this out there to see if anyone has gotten it to work.
    On a Windows XP sp3 PC with a 1.86ghz Core2 6300 CPU with 2gb RAM, I'm unable to install Adobe Premiere Elements 10. When I run setup.exe I get "This installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact your product vendor."
    The system requirements for Premiere Elements 10 do list a 2ghz CPU with SSe2 support. The Core2 6300 does support SSe2, but runs at 1.86ghz not 2ghz.
    Just haven't seen a program actually refuse to install based on CPU speed before. Guess I've been lucky. But can anyone confirm that the installer actually won't install on a slower processor speed. Not sure what else the error could be than this.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sir_timbit

    I know about the min specs. The reason I'm asking if it really checks the CPU speed is I have a school that *is* running Premiere Elements 10 on the exact same hardware. Same CPU. The only difference is the new version I'm trying to install is the volume license version, part of the Adobe Digital School collection. The school that already has it running is using Premiere Elements 10 with either separate licenses or some other license setup. So it doesn't make sense why it worked but doesn't now.
    Testing today. On my test PC, a Core 2 6300 XPsp3, the setup would start up OK using the non-VL installer, but fail when I tried to use the setup.exe from the new installer. As far as I know the program is the same, but I don't think I can do the XML customizations needed to do a silent installer on the non volume licensed version of Premiere Elements 10. In short, why does one version of PE 10 install but not the other?

  • What are the ideal system requirements for Adobe Captivate?*

    What are the ideal system requirements for Adobe Captivate?* In order to ensure it runs at a good speed.

    I don't know about ideal, but I'm using an Intel Core2 Duo, 3.16ghz, 3.46gb ram, winXP Pro SP3.  This is an HP branded PC, it uses the onboard Q45 video.
    I rarely have any problems that I haven't caused myself (having too many applications open while I work).

  • Whenever I try to update iTunes to 10.5 I get the message 'There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.'

    Whenever I try to update iTunes to 10.5 I get the message 'There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.'
    I then uninstalled iTunes to try and reinstall it but I still get the same message for both 10.5 and previous versions, please help!

    My situation:
    - get error when updating iTunes from 1041 to 1050 or above: "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
    My system: XP SP3 with all latest updates.
    Found out that the 1051 update fixes a major intrusion possibility during the update process, so I want to get iTunes upgraded to 1051.
    Did more research and the following worked (not known if all steps outlined were necessary) (I do not guarantee success nor any more issues as a result):
    - ran: MicrosoftFixit.ProgramInstallUninstall.exe (did JUST the patch option).
    - ran: Windows Installation Removal Tool.exe (uninstalled JUST the iTunes program installer folder) (this does not remove the actual program).
    - removed all apple software update registry entries.
    - removed: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple\Installer Cache\(JUST the software updatefolders) (hidden folder).
    - removed: C:\Documents and Settings\current user\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\(JUST the software  update folders) (hidden folder).
    - DID NOT need to restart
    - downloaded latest iTunes update (1051)
    - opened using WinRAR
    - extracted all files
    - ran JUST the apple software update MSI
    - it succeeded
    - ran JUST the iTunes MSI
    - it succeeded
    - normally I then uninstall the apple software update program, but DID NOT this time
    - DID NOT need to restart
    Hope it works for you.

  • Versions required for LO / BOE?

    Hi,
    We have an Xcelcius dashboard created with version 2008 SP1 FP2 (12.0.1.2 ?). 
    The data is sourced using Live-Office XI 3.1 (12.1.0.882) from a BOE Webi report.
    Our BOE app is XI 3.1 (12.1.0.882) with SAP integration kit XI (12.1.0.890).
    I recently updated only my local Xcelsius to SP3, and was able to load the original xlf file (saving as a new copy in the updated SP3 format) and export a swf file.  However, when I try to either preview or open the swf, the file hangs at the components stage.
    Is there a requirement for Xcelsius to be at a given SP to work with the other BO apps (BOE / LO / SAP IK)?
    Are there any other tips when migrating xlf's from SP1 to SP3?
    Thanks!
    Darryl

    Hi Srinivas,
    Thanks for the info.  one more question - I only see one version of LCM, so I imagine it is not tied to any SP level of our Enterprise installation?  We are currently on 3.1 (12.1.0.882) but looking to install SP3 soon..
    Thanks!

  • Realistic system requirements for Design Premium?????

    Hi,
    Can anyone give me some realistic system requirements for CS4 Design Premium? I am just about ripping my hair out with having to reboot several times a day because i'm running out of memory!
    I am current running:  32 bit XP SP3, 3GHz processor and 3.25GB RAM with a 500GB hard drive of which 379GB is free.
    I can't install more memory without going to a 64 bit operating system which would mean wiping the PC and reinstalling everything.
    The advertised requirements are only 2GBHz processor and 1MB RAM. (perhaps this might work if only opening one program at a time????)
    Also considering buying a MAC - I've had designers tell me they never have to reboot - guess it depends on their specs too. What are the disadvantages of a MAC over a PC?
    Advice would be appreciated!!
    Cheers,
    Karen

    Thanks Michael,
    I do use a few of the programs at once:  Bridge + Photoshop + Illustrator + Indesign (actually, have learnt cannot run all of these at once but would love to!);  
    Dreamweaver + Fireworks (Fireworks constantly causes me headaches where files become locked and cannot be saved - all due to shortage of memory)
    Usually run virus software - full scan weekly, so am pretty sure my system is clean.
    Great idea about disabling Virus software - will ensure I unplug from modem first!! I will give that a go.
    Cheers,
    Karen

  • Actual minimum requirements for PP CS4 standard DV?

    Hello all,
    Just upgraded to CS4 from premiere pro 2.0.  I do have an older system but I believe it does meet the minimun requirements for DV according to website.  I am attempting to do basic editing with standard DV and I cannot even get a simple string of clips together in the timeline without a crash.  Currently using windows XP pro SP3, intel P4 3.2 HT, 2 GB RAM, Nvidia Quadro FX1100 graphics card with latest driver.  Any ideas on what might be going on?
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Eric

    Glad that you got things sorted out.
    As for the real-world minimums, I'd say that unless one has AVCHD material, that a fast Duo-core CPU with 4GB RAM (32-bit OS) and 3x SATA II HDD's, allocated properly, would be the minimum, and then one could benefit from cleaning up the system to bare bones - cutting unnecessary programs and Processes, per the tips in this ARTICLE.
    If one has AVCHD material, I'd go with the fastest Quad-core as the absolute minimum, and a fast i7 as better.
    With a 64-bit OS, I'd bump the RAM to 12GB as the minimum, but one could probably get by with less.
    Hope that this helps,

  • System requirements for 9 vs 10 versions?????

    What are the recommended vs. minumum system requirements for the latest bersion of Firefox vs. SVersion 9.xx? I'm running Windows 2000 Professional with SP4 installed and DO NOT want to have Firefox slow down my system in any way.

    Hi again edmeister,
    Despite the fact hat the download page for Coreinfo states that:
    Coreinfo "Runs on:
    * Client: Windows XP SP3 and higher.
    * Server: Windows Server 2003 and higher."
    I did download it, But when I attempted to open the .exe, I got a message that a file in my O/S (remember I stated that I was running Windows 2000 w. SP4 installed) was missing, therefore the .exe wouldn't run. Is there any other way to determine if SSE2 is installed without having to physically remove the CPU and look to see if something is printed on it to identify it?

  • ...recommended system & hardware requirements for clients P6 8.2 Clien&Webs

    What are the recommended system & hardware requirements for clients P6 Professional and Client Web for P6 8.2 ???
    I need to know the recommended systems & hardware requirements for clients P6 Professional and Client Web for P6 8.2
    I mean what kind of processor, memory ram minimum and maximus to run or to deploy P6 Professional Client from P6 8.2 version and the requeriments to run the P6 8.2 Web application.
    I need like a chart (not necesary) with the most common configuration with hardware and software like the example below
         SO     Ram     Hdd     Processor
    P6 Professional 8,2     Windows Xp Sp3     4 Gb     2 Gb +     Core2Duo 1,8 +
         Oracle Linux     4 Gb     3 Gb     Core2Duo 1,6 +
    P6 Web 8,2     Windows Xp Sp3     4 Gb     2 Gb +     Core2Duo 1,8 +
         Oracle Linux     4 Gb     3 Gb     Core2Duo 1,6 +
    Because all information I saw it´s about Server (Database, Server Application and others) and not very clever about P6 8.2 Client and P6 8.2 Web.

    I haven't seen PC requirements for a Win workstation per se either. Here are the only 8.2 client requirements I can find.

  • What are the settings required for QM in procurement

    Hi Team,
    What are the settings required for QM in procurement. I have  set indicator for QM in procurement in QM view in material master.
    I am not clear about  following fields to be maintained in QM view.
    QM Control Key
    Certificate type
    Target QM system
    Tech. delivery terms Indicator.
    Please suggest me in which case to be used this fiels. Is it relivant to Quality Certificates.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    All meaning are
    QM Control Key :
    If you activate the indicator for QM in procurement in the material master record at the client level, you must also store a control key at the plant level for quality management in procurement.
    Certificate type :
    Certificate types applies to the Certificate processing in procurement  &  Certificate creation
    Target QM system :
    whether the vendor's verified QM system, according to vendor master record or quality info-record (for a combination of vendor/material) meets the requirements for QM systems as specified in the material master
    -  If you activate the indicator for QM in procurement in the material master record at the client level, you must also store a control key at the plant level for quality management in procurement. If you want Procurment control then accordingly define Control Key.
    -  If you want Vendor's perticular certificate for Material then you have to define Certificate type.
    Also, you have to maintain Material, Vendor's Info record at plant level.
    Thanks,
    JM
