Had to install from partition. SP2?

[Guest]

A little while ago, I deleted what turned out to be a very imporant file and
had to perform a nondestructive recovery or whatever its called from the
backup partition on my hard drive. It fixed the problem, but I recently tried
to open the security center, and could not get it to work. This made me
wonder if perhaps it reverted back to the original build of XP, without SP2.
Also, before doing that, I tried to revert to the last known working
configuration, from the same list of options as safe mode, but it would not
launch either.

Also, this may or may not be related, but when I go to the Windows Update
web page, it displays "Checking for the latest version of the Windows Update
Software..." and then does nothing.

I do have automatic updates enabled, but I'm not sure if they're working or
not.

You are a ****wit. A moronic, clueless, cretinous, imbecilic, idiotic,
stupid, thick-headed, numb-skulled dickwad. When are you going to get it
into your pea-sized brain that, when it comes to anything technological, a
three-year-old has more idea than you do?! I have just Googled for you at
your current address and, since you started posting, I haven't seen a single
post that: -

a) Makes sense

b) Shows any kind of technical aptitude* whatsoever

c) Has been researched

*That's a very big word for you. You may need to avail yourself of a
dictionary (of course, I'm making a huge assumption that you actually know
what one is...)

Welcome to the Moron of the Month Award's permanent Hall of Shame. Others'
stays might be brief but, by displaying total and utter ineptitude and
complete unwillingness to learn, you have proven that you're so devoid of
clue that, until you learn, you deserve a wall all to yourself.

I wonder how many systems you've destroyed with your 'advice'? One day,
someone's going to sue you because they believed you knew what you were on
about.

Now, I suggest you either go on a course to learn at least the basics and
then, when you have proven you have a clue, you may return; or, if you don't
wish to do that, don't bother ever posting here again because, from now on,
every dangerous and misleading post you make is being reported to MS. OTOH,
there is evidence that you wish to deliberately cause harm: -

1) You always post via the CDO (which means only MS can log your IP)

2) You never return to any thread in which you've posted.

3) Your 'advice', as well as being dangerous, is so poorly written that
it could be easily misconstrued. I suggest you take remedial English along
with that computer class. You obviously never attended any English lessons
at school (though I'm making another big assumption that you ever went to
school...)

So, Andrew, your choice. You either put up and take some advice - or you
shut up and never post again. It's entirely up to you.


To the OP: - I'm afraid I cannot help you, but I am posting the above to
warn you away from heeding anything Andrew the Eejit has to offer. His sole
mission in life is to destroy as many computers as he possibly can.

When we bought the computer, it did not come with a CD. Apparently HP thinks
we'll never need to use it.
