Thank you.
Thanks. Do you mean save it on a USB memory stick on another machine and then plug it in to the wonky one to install? I'm pretty sure that you can't go higher than IE8 on an XP machine.Download IE10 on a seperate machine, choosing to install later, then install on the PC as required.
You can go straight from SP1 to SP3. My problem is accessing the download sites on the wonky PC. I'll try and save IE8 on a good PC in the way you suggested.Can do a copy of SP2 if you want?
Quick search shows IE9 as the newest versionThanks. Do you mean save it on a USB memory stick on another machine and then plug it in to the wonky one to install? I'm pretty sure that you can't go higher than IE8 on an XP machine.
I thought of that but you need SP2 to do that.Can you download fire fox and get service pack 3 that way ?
Do you know if that will work on a single PC? It's for network installations and I don't want it to do something obscure.This link should allow you to download SP3 to another computer and just run it from a USB drive or DVD on the XP machine: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24
says link cant be found for me .Do you know if that will work on a single PC? It's for network installations and I don't want it to do something obscure.
This is what I used to do and it worked, takes a while though.Have you tried using Windows Update rather than going to the Microsoft update page? I had to do the same thing just last week and it worked fine for me that way. Once I had installed the 124(!) security updates, it let me install IE8. Prior to that the machine was using IE6.
