once you reach sp2 turn it off for awhile. Really .......


uninstall that one and go on......

disneyjoe7

Confused when I reach sp2 I assume I running that now. Uninstall what?


Can I get that in old guy computer terms?

Deadof_knight

MSXML 4.0 SP2 look up all your updates and take some of them off IMHO not all of them are needed I mean really. I run nortons , partitioned real good , and I have no problems if I do I simply will reinstall windows and some related software. Its a good thing to seperate your hard drive at least 10 to 15 gb for windows xp and all the damn updates . I run a 2.4 giga hertz processor when I click I expect it to happen right now..... not in a second. I have my drive partitioned into 5 partitions. I run my Nortons ( which to some is not the best) but I have no quams with it. Take a look at all your updates and simply uninstall back past that previously mentioned and turn off updates for a lil while you might have something software wise msxml doesnt like at all. there are hmmm several things that interact with windows(nortons one of them) thats can cause problems. anytime you update make sure you have a restore point and if it act weird backup to the last restore point. pretty simple ( sometime you dont think that though) let me know Im sure we can get your trouble worked out.

right click my computer if it says sp2 after youve clicked properties then your there you just have to simply get rid of the msxml update to probably to fix where your at.

Ok understand I have SP2 so I just did something to remove so stupid message I could tell you but still a little confused and personally don't give a **** about some stupid message now since I killed it.


If it Kills my laptop then I will care once again.

Thanks

Thanks, Deadof Knight I look into it deeper tomorrow as I'm off laptop and now on computer #3 too many computers some times.

But what you stated I could delete some of the updates?

disneyjoe7

Ok I got it. It's a program download so I could delete it then try to see if it loads ok. I think Well I see that program on computer #3, which is running ok knock on wood.

disneyjoe7

This starting to make me think about that Mac / PC commercial when he goes in for the Vista update.

Ok I deleted it, re-powered the laptop computer, then I did windows update... I couldn't believe it I have 11 updates, downloaded all, rebooted the computer all ok now.
