XP and service pack 2

I have an old copy of XP I purchased in 2002. I am not sure, but I doubt that Service Pack 2 comes with it. How can I find out. The warning on Boot Camp says not install XP unless it is Win XP with Service Pack 2.
Is there a way I can install XP on our new alum iMac (20 inch, 2.4 ghz)?
Any tips are appreciated.

Thanks for the pointer. There are so many steps to slip stream XP and the Service Pack that I am virtually certain it will never work using Vista. Vista is just a pig that doesn't work. It just never does. Not ever.
That is why I am trying to migrate to a Mac OS.
I am going to give it a try when I have a day or two free I guess. I am certain as death and taxes that Vista either won't DL the SP or won't allow me to combine the two together and make a new XP boot CD.

    I have an HP-Pavilion Vista PC with MS Office 2007 and Service Pack 2.  Each time I try to save a Word or Excel document I get the “Not Responding” message.  The “Word is saving……” bar at the bottom does not show any progress.  On clicking the document I get a faded version even when in Safe Mode.  Somehow the document appears on the Desktop where I tried to save it.  On trying to open the saved document, even as administrator, I get the following ”File in Use” message:
    “The ….docx is locked for editing by….” and I am asked three questions including:
    “Do you want to open a Read Only copy” yet on clicking “Yes” I am able to edit the same document.
    On trying to save to a different location I get the message:
    “Your autocorrect file MSO 1033.ad could not be saved. The file may be read only or you may not have permission to modify this file.”
    The same message stating FILE12\1033\MSO.ACL MSO 1033ad recurs with new Excel documents.
    How can I correct this problem?

    SSRS 2008 R2 is extremely slow.  The query runs in less than a second in the dataset designer but if you try to view the report it takes over 10 minutes.  I have read this is a bug in SSRS 2008 R2.  We installed the most recent patches and

    Hi Kim Sharp,
    According to your description that when you view the report it is extremely slow in SSRS 2008 R2 but it is very fast when execute the query in dataset designer, right?
    I have tested on my local environment and can‘t reproduce the issue. Obviously, it is the performance issue, rendering performance can be affected by a combination of factors that include hardware, number of concurrent users accessing reports, the amount
    of data in a report, design of the report, and output format. If you have parameters in your report which contains many values in the list, the bad performance as you mentioned is an known issue on 2008 R2 and already have the hotfix:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2276203
    Any issue after applying the update, I recommend you that submit a feedback at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/ 
    If you don’t have, you can do some action to improve the performance when designing the report. Because how you create and update reports affects how fast the report renders.
    Actually, the Report Server ExecutionLog2  view contains reports performance data. You could make use of below query to see where the report processing time is being spent:
    After you determine whether the delay time is in data retrieval, report processing, or report rendering:
    use ReportServer
    SELECT TOP 10 ReportPath,parameters,
    TimeDataRetrieval + TimeProcessing + TimeRendering as [total time],
    TimeDataRetrieval, TimeProcessing, TimeRendering,
    ByteCount, [RowCount],Source, AdditionalInfo
    FROM ExecutionLog2
    ORDER BY Timestart DESC
    Use below methods to help troubleshoot issues according to the above query result :

  • Having problems downloading itunes 10.5.2; box states windows installer issue. I have a 2005 with windows XP and service pack 2. Any ideas?

    Just bought a new ipod touch for my daughter.  It won't sync without itunes 10.5.2 loaded on our computer (a 2005 HP with Windows XP and service pack 2.)  When I've tried to load 10.5.2, I get an error message box stating there is a problem with my Windows installer.  I've tried loading the windows installer hot fix KB942288-v3-x86, but it didn't help.  Any suggestion?

    Hi Lorheak,
    thanks for the quick reply. I had the same idea already yesterday. I use Norton Internet Security for a long time now without any problems. I think this a Apple or Microsoft problem, because the popup window which appear come from Windows DEP. I got no message from the firewall with any problem. I check the log files from Norton and Windows already but find nothing. This is a very strange problem. In the past I have had a lot of other problems with iTunes upgrades. Everytime I accept the installation of the newest version I got errors regarding missing "msi" files.
    Greetings Gert

  • List all servers with OS and service pack

    Is there an easy way using any script or software to list all servers joined to your domain including operating system (i.e. server 2008) and service pack level, without having to check each manually?

    Hi Cf090,
    The limit is used to Specify the number of objects to return that matches the criteria that you specify. If you specify a value of
    0 for <NumberOfObjects>, this parameter returns all matching objects. If you do not specify this parameter,
    dsquery displays the first 100 results by default.
    For more detailed information to use dsquery, please refer to this article:

  • Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2 upgradation

    Hi,
    I need your support to upgrade and migrate to Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2 in my development server.
    I am currently upgrading my Crystal enterprise version 9 with the Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2. I have the below questions to be clarified. Appreciate if you can reply me ASAP. Thanks.
    My Environment:
    O/S - Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition; Version 5.2 (Build 3790); Service Pack - 1
    RAM size - 1 GB
    Installed software - Crystal enterprise 9
    1) After successfully upgraded with the XI version, all my current user accounts and existing reports are not available in the upgraded version. Pl. suggest me, how to migrate my existing connections and all the existing reports?
    2) In my server, SQL Server is not installed. But SQL Server instance (SQL Server 7.00.623) is running in my taskbar (desktop). If I stopped the SQL Server instance, the "Crystal APS" in the Crystal Configuration Manager is stopped. What information is stored in the SQL Server?
    3) What is the default SQL server version bundled with Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Service Pack 2? What is the SQL server version you recommand?
    4) Will the Crystal Reports XI Release 2 SP2 supports the SQL Server 7.00.623?
    Regards
    Sanrajesh

    Hello, Sanrajesh,
    You have been using Crystal Enterprise 9.0 and now you are installing Crystal Reports XI R2. Is that correct?
    Crystal Reports XI R2 is just the Crystal Reports designer and runtime for development.
    Crystal Reports XI R2 does not have the functionality of Crystal Enterprise. The upgrade would be Crystal Enterprise 9.0 to Business Objects Enterprise XI R2. (11.5)
    A full BusinessObjects Enterprise installation will install the appropriate MS SQL Server for it's own use.
    Will this be the Enterprise server or just the Development system to create an application connecting to your BusinessObjects Enterprise server?
    What development language will you be programming in?
    If you have BusinessObjects Enterprise installed elsewhere you only need the appropriate development components on your system and connect to the server in code.
    Our BusinessEnterprise Support team would assist you in the upgrade from Crystal Enterprise 9 to Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 if that was your plan.
    Then we could discuss the development requirements.

  • OSS notes and service packs

    Hi,
    Can anyone elaborate me the difference between OSS1 transaction and SNOTE transaction in relation with application of OSS notes ?
    Also, what is the difference between SAP service pack and OSS notes ?
    Are SAP service pack similar to windows service packs ?
    Whose job is it to apply OSS notes and service packs ?
    Regards,
    Tushar.

    A service pack is generally a collection of the (release dependent) OSS notes that have been created since the last pack.
    If you have done custom development on an SAP object, that development will likely be lost if an OSS note modifies it. You will have an opportunity to review the changes using transaction SPAM when service packs are applied.

    Cannot download iTunes to PC with Windows XP and service pack 3. When I hit "download now" it goes stright to the "thanks for downloading" screen but downloads nothing.

    I can't answer that. I'm just a user. Apple makes it decisions and does not share that with anyone here as you well know. Apple has also stopped supporting syncing contacts and calendar with the latest version of OS X, Mavericks. Users have to use iCloud. Many are not happy about that. Let Apple know how you feel here: www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.

  • ORADC problem on Windows 2000 with Service pack 1 and service pack 2

    Hi,
    I have a VB application running on NT4.0 workstations. It uses
    ORADC control to talk to ORACLE 7.3 When I load it on Windows
    2000 with service pack 1 or service pack 2, I encounter some
    problems.
    The ORADC control is used in most of the VB forms and the

    TRUE DBGRID PRO control. When this action is executed, I receive
    a run time error
    "Method Refresh of object '_DORADC' failed Err#: -2147417848
    It works fine when no service pack is applied on Win2K.
    Can anyone tell me what's going on?

  • IPods and Service Pack 3 for Windows XP

    If you have installed Service Pack 3 for Windows XP, an issue may arrise that will not allow iPods to function. You will get an error that the iPod Service Module has experienced an error and needs to close.
    If you see this error, first check to see if you can see any of your devices in the Device Manager. To do this, click on Start, the right click on My Computer, then click on the Hardware tab, then click on the Device Manager button. If this window is blank, you will need to call Microsoft directly at 800-642-7676.
    The reason that the Device Manager is now blank is that if you were running any Anti-Virus program while Service Pack 3 was being installed, there was a certain file that was prevented from running that was designed to clean up the registry after installation. Since this file did not execute, that is why your Device Manager is now blank and your iPod will not work.
    A word of caution though. When you call Microsoft, do not tell them that the reason you are calling is that your iPod does not work due to Service Pack 3. If you say this, they will want to charge you $80.00 for tech support. On the other hand, if you say that you recently installed Service Pack 3 and have noticed that the Device Manager is now empty, you will now get the tech support for free.
    I write this for any who might be experiencing this problem as Apple Tech Support has informed me that this is one of their biggest tech support issues in the past couple of months since Service Pack 3 was released.

    Still useful as of 12/30/11. Have ten Lenovo 5042 computers with downgrade licenses to run XP and have a ghosted image from another Lenovo 5042 having and Intel cpu. My target computers all have AMD cpus in them and the image would continuously reboot on
    the AMD computers.
    Used method 1 and it cleared the problem instantly, many thanks for the post and the time and effort it took to dig up the answer..

    Hi
    1. Yes you can. You should make sure that the system has enough resources so that BO and DI are not blocking each other (sizing)
    2. I would separate the installation by choosing two different users. NFS mounts have proven a bit unstable and can cause problems if they are down.
    3. You need to check with your account manager
    4. Please post in the DI forum
    Please note that the forum etiquette does prohibit urgent requests. The forum is a place to get information or opinions, if you need urgent request please use the appropriate SAP channels e.g. Field Services

  • Software Updates And Service Packs Not Showing As Required

    I ran a homepage summarization, but still no luck.
