Windows Update is not letting me install Windows XP SP3 and nor can I
install Windows XP SP3 from the Windows XP SP3 download I saved for

Adobe a reason for Flash Player not installing can be there are some sort
of restricted user permissions and I am logged on as an Administrator.
Can I reregister Windows XP Home Edition in my name? I did find a form
online at Microsoft where I could change ownership or reregister XP but I
did not know what I should write for the old owners name.
I have since found there is his name on the computer, and I can even
him if I need to.
What can I do about this?
I want to register the XP Home Edition in my name anyway. Shall I try to
find the Microsoft webpage I found before where I could try to change the
ownership and attempt to register XP in my name or what should I do?
You don't need to register XP Home. Registration is always optional and will
in any case not change anything on your local computer.
With a used computer, the first step is always to do a clean install of
Windows.
