Hi, I just had to completely reset my computer, and I finally managed (after trying to find a volume license product key to install Win XP) to get my computer somewhat back to normal (quality and speed-wise, but it has NOTHING on it right now). I tried to install AVG Free, and Windows Live Messenger, but I found out that I now only have Service Pack 1, and apparantly I should update to Service Pack 3. When I tried to do this, after downloading the update for sp3, when I try to install it with the setup, it gave me a message saying
"Service Pack 3 Setup cannot update a checked (debug) system with a free (retail) version of Service Pack 3, or vice versa."
which is strange because AVG and MSN worked for me before, and I am pretty sure I already HAD SP3 before I reset my computer...
any idea how I can get my computer FULLY back to normal.
I will either need help getting Service Pack 3 to work on my computer, or, any other ways of getting my computer able to use current programs and be just like if I DID have SP3 (maybe different windows or something, btw I have Windows XP Proffessional), or any other way. ANY help is greatly appreciated, thank you!
