All i had to do is get Drvs, and the software and the updates that I could Its a good Idea to burn a copy of the updates so if it happens again Reynie T

The updates from SP1 and SP2 are already included in SP3, so you don't have to install all of them in order, from the beginning - you can just install SP3 and you're done.

with all the xp editions I have installed here is my best answer. Install xp as normal. I havn't herd of a sp1,but never noticed.then download the sp2 and install. once installed, restart computer. download sp3 and install. restart again.each has to be done sepatatly and usually no problem. you can go straight to the MS website to free downloads section. if can do it i'm sure you can. its simple. I hope this helps.

sorry,can't answer. The company that was to install a new hard drive in my computer opted to pay part cost on a new computer because my computer was old. I have not used my copy of "xp" and will probably list it on Amazon

It worked for me in Windows 7 Prof SP1. However, I do not recommend this unit for those who look for ERFORMANCE and customer support!!! You may want to see my review on this product.

You know what I'm curious of. If you can upgrade it to Windows Vista. My brother keeps saying I'll have to do it eventually and I wonder about that if what he says is true. Though with the introduction of so many netbooks carrying XP to the market, I wonder what Microsoft is going to do about their plans to stop updating XP.

yes and no. Yes you can install it, but depending what kind of license you bought with MS Office 2010, it might now allow you to activate it because you have used up the cd-key (license) on previous PCs you have installed it on. Most standard licenses allows you to install it on 2 PCs. If you ever do run into the issue, just call Microsoft activation team and they usually activate (but deactivates other PCs that has it installed)

The system requirements indicate it is compatible with Windows XP, SP3/Windows Vista SP1, Pentium III 800 MHz or higher. My system is Windows 7, so if it is indicating that it is compatible with a higher version also, I would tend to think that your Windows 8 system would be acceptable, but I do not see Windows 8 listed per se. Bottom line, I would think it would work but cannot be certain about that.

It should. I don't remember how many times I've had to reinstall my XP because of one reason or another. To upgrade to SP3 you would still need to visit the microsoft website to up grade frist your explorer then the rest. Be carefull XP will not be supported much longer though.

We'll it does just fine as is on mine. Unlikely that there will be a problem. If you do search on Microsoft help for running in compatibility mode.

Windows service pack 2 has Windows service pack 1 instaled first. So if you have SP 2 you also have SP 1. You shoud have no proplum installing the USB 2.0 card.

Well, it does not seem so easy for me. It keeps looking for some .dll file and can't find it and won't download. I went I-Go and got the drivers, along with a Word file from BB on a very convoluted way of installing the drivers, which doesn't seem to work either. Obviously, I am quite frustrated. Your help or anyone's help is appreciated.

Not positive about SP3, but I know it was XP Professional. You can still do a Windows update and install SP3.

It worked for me. But was a bit of a pain to get it to work. Had to install a few times... Just make sure you have enough space on your computer to run the programs. And I ran a virus check on my comp before installing, to be safe. But it works beautifully for me now! Couldn't be happier! :) Don't bother asking the Microsoft people at the store to help either. They were useless. She googled my question. (Like I hadn't done that at home first) Idiots.

On this particular one for sale, Windows XP Home Edition SP3 is pre-loaded. You would personally have to upgrade it to Windows 7.

Not good. The PC has about 4 drivers missing that are only valid for W8+. I tried it and tried to get drivers, but did not find anywhere. Yes, I hate W8.

THE BOX SAYS:OS SUPPORT: Windows (SP3 or greater), Windows Vista and Windows 7. Maybe you should be careful using it with an O/S not mentioned by the manufacturer and ask them ...

I used it on an XP SP3 upgraded to 8/8.1 without a problem. I don't believe it carried over the driver from XP in the upgrade. If it did, however, using Win 7 drivers and compatibility mode should work.
