service pack1, critical update. have SP2

Hi
I have SP 2 and a windows update check say I need to download "Microsoft.NET Framework 1.1 SP1.
Do I need this when I have SP 2 installed on my system?
Thanks
Geri

 

I had to get it as I run Drive Image 7. Do you use DI?

I've just rechecked and I had to get version 1.0 SP3, sorry to mislead you.

 

Geri--Net Framework is not part of WinXP SP2. MS and other companies are developing more and more programs that use Net Framework. I would say install it, especially if Windows Update says it is Critical. This is an update to an earlier version of Net Framework and fixes some bugs

Hi all
Well that didn't work out to well
After Downloading and installing Net framework a Icon showed up by my clock and said terminating Digital Imaging monator, that was part of HP imaging, The skins part. Made my scanner useless, and I'm guessing a digital camera...if I had one.
Was online with Hp for two days and they finally told me I had to download HP imaging from them...Now get this...345.12 MB. I'm on dial up can any one guess how long it takes to download a 345 MB file on dial up
I told them that this is crazzzzzzzy.....

OK I'll tell, Estamated time 24 hours 30 Min. 24 HOURS

Should have heard my wife when I told her she couldn't use the phone for 24 hours
IS WAS NOT PRETTY, Matter of fact it was down right UGLY

Any way I have a friend that has DSL and he is going to download and burn it to CD for me.
Hope this fixes it? Will find out next week.

Geri--Sorry to hear the news. That is not normal behavior. If you go back to the Windows Update site you will see a button for Help and Support. Click on it. MS might offer free help.

How did you get HP Imaging in the first place? Isn't it on some CD that came with the scanner?

 

Hi welshjim
The software that came with the scanner is Image Zone, HP had software installed on my PC for other digital stuff, Scanners, Cameras and maybe other things that I haven't ran acrossed yet

I'll check out Windows site.
Thanks
Geri

 

Geri--Maybe not, but based on what you say the "HP imaging" files should be on the CD that came with your PC. I am disappointed to hear that HP tech support won't help you reinstall. If you knew the location and name of the file on the CD, you should be able to selectively reinstall.
If not, again sorry.

 

Hi welshjin
The only CD that came with this PC was Works and Money.

I had to burn my own recovery CD. It had a program that is set up to run only one time. A window would come up everytime I restarted the computer (I Think) that said I needed to burn my own (and only) recovery CD...In this case a DVD because it would take 8 CD's or 1 DVD.
Why they did it this way?? Your guess is as good as mine.
They never brought up the recovery Disc the whole time I was dealing with them.
I got the computer in Sept. so it is still under warranty so there is no charge for support at this time.

Geri-- Lord knows what you are supposed to do if you ever need to Repair or Reinstall Windows, since in XP you need the Windows CD to do it.
A good reason to stay away from HP PC's??

 

WOW, I never thought of that. I hope that is part of the recovery disc I made?
The thing is, I bought a HP PC back in 1998 and never had a problem with it for 5 years...Well not until I tried to add a Graphics card to it that a friend gave me, which was not supported by that system I guess.
It also didn't have a windows 98 disc, Just needed my Authenticity number.

I reinstalled the software from the scanner CD 2 or 3 times on directions from HP.
This is what I get when I try to access the scanner software or when I restart my computer.....

"Could not find a part of the path C:/program files/HP/Digital Imaging/bin/.../skins/HP1/skindef.xml "

And this...

C:/Program files/HP/Digital Imaging/skins/HP1/skins.xml Does not exist

Hi Christer
Thanks I'll look into that I know I have a HP Recovery D: 4.78 GB.
I would hate to loose SP2 It took me about 5 hours to download.

I have a friend making the CD of the file they said I needed. If that don't work I guess I won't have a choice.

I'll let everyone know what happens.
