Installing -XP-Pro-SP3 on Intel Quad 2.6 GHz 32bit, 4G RAM, 2.8TB disk
My annoyance quotient was finally exceeded with XP, so I "upgraded" to Windows-7. After installing it twice and discovering a different killer fault each time, I am now trying to return to XP.
Installed XP from disk okay, installed motherboard drivers good, but when trying to apply the usual Windows updates -- over 100 the last time I reinstalled XP -- the update screen couldn't get through to Microsoft. It says approximatelay "Error on page," error code 8024D001, and insists on that response for every alternate approach.
I thought Microsoft intended to support XP until the end of 2013. Right? Wrong?
Can anyone advise me of another source for the last XP updates? What's the likelihood of a successful continuation with the non-updated version?
Thanks for your attention.
