After the XP Repair

1. You will need to run windows update for XP Repaired will put IE6 and Windows Media 9 back on the computer

2. After the repair and reboots you will need to activate XP
If you go to START/ACCESSORIES/SYSTEM TOOLS/ ACTIVATE

If you do not see ACTIVATE then here is a tip
You will need to download IE 8 and install.
After the install XP will then update like it should

You will have many updates to get it back to where it needs to be.

If you have XP SP2 you will not be able to use IE6 that is no longer supported.

XP is not supported by Microsoft.


Here is a download link for XP SP3

Note to install. Put the download on the PC and start it in Safe mode.

Then it will install and you will now have XP SP3 and IE8

Then install Firefox that works on XP
