Hi, I came out of the womb in 41, YES 1941, but Im still learning. However I shouldnt run before I can walk and at the moment as far as PCs are concerned Im crawling.

OK, so Im running x86 but what difference does x64 do for me & how do I change. Did I say Im inexperienced with PCs????? X86 = 32 Bit X64 = 64 Bit That's why you may see some files that say something in the title like x86_32, you know that file is for a 32 bit operating system. The reason he brought up a 64 bit operating sytem is because I think with a 32 bit you can only access a total of... 3GB of RAM? To utilize the full four, and to better utilize multi-core processors, 64 is the way to go. However.... not all programs are written for 64 bit operating systems. It's getting better though. As for upgrading from 32 to 64...... I always have trouble with that topic, upgrading the OS in general actually. So I'm not going to comment on that area since I know very little about it, just enough to squeeze by the certification exam =D I'd recommend checking out the Microsoft website. Hi, As Im SOOOOOOOOOOOOO inexperienced with PCs Ill leave things alone. Thanks for your imput Lrchr

Id like to thank ALL those who helped. I will not be going any further as my level of understanding is not enough to complete these suggestions. But its still a BIG thanks to all who tried

Hi 5eraph, Thanks for your help (although Im not sure how to use it). In my profile Ive put XP Pro x86, but Im not sure if this true, how can I check. It may be x64. Lrchr

Hi All, Thanks for your help,Ive now got an XP Pro with SP3 and hotfixes disk. Im not sure how to test to see that this disk works properly. Help again Lrchr I hope Ive told you that Im not very good with this stuff

Hi Boooggy, Thanks for your help. However, when I try to download the fixes from the site via Post-SP2 Update Pack 2.2.2 April 27, 2008 53.5MB CF090ABA2F8CD73BAFFD56B1E277C56B Mirror 1 | Mirror 2 | Mirror 3 I get the attached error. What now??? Lrchr boooggy.doc

Hi Spheris, Followed your link but its Not Found. I would like to download ALL the hotfixes for this year so that I can slipstream them.

It looks like I downloaded and installed hundreds of hotfixes and updates. I installed them without saving first. So how would I find them to slipstream them now. Surely I dont have to scour MS.

Hi Boooggy, I found svc file (not folder) and svcpack.info and deleted both. It worked fine from then. Thanks Lrchr

Hi Boooggy, Not sure what you mean, Im not very good with PCs. Can you explain more clearly??? Lrchr

Hi Mazmorbid, This happens when trying to slipstream either. I will drop SP2 following your advice. Lrchr

I am trying to slipstream an XP Pro SP1 Cd to SP2 and then to Sp3 but when I get to the part where it tries to slipsteam I get the following message "This Service Pack cannot be intergrated into a destination that also has intergrated Software Updates. Consult the Service Pack documentation for more details about supported intergration scenarios" I dont know what this means nor what to do about it. HELP. Doc1.doc
