8.1 Windows crashes when you try to install some things.

As for example. When I tried to install a game, Vindictus... it froze on me and my screen is purple and became unresponsive. I tried this several times, but every time I try and open setup my computer just freezes.

I think (and it must be good) that windows has some compatibility issues, and I can't enjoy the things I want if I have to deal with gel pathetic ups like that. The only way for me to download stuff I want is at least try to downgrade to windows 7, but I try not to do.

Can someone help me? I'm sorry if I'm not quite eleborate, but it's Windows 8.1! The problem could be ANYTHING... but I really think it's compatibliity questions due to the fact that when I tried to troubleshoot it he said he had compatibility problems. It 'fixed', but it still happens, so it did not work.

I also 0x0000008E. 0 x 00000050 and 0 x 00000018 type erros when trying to play games... windows 8.1 is such a hassle.

Hi Bluey5,

I saw your post on the installation of Vindictus on your Windows 8.1. The problem is the game due to his age. It was originally designed to run under Windows 2000 and XP. Windows 8 is very different then even Windows 7. I had similar problems with older games myself and keep your computer Windows XP autour for this reason.

Thank you

    Hi kitkatz155,

    You can try to start the computer in a clean boot state, try to install the game and check if this solves the problem.

    Start your computer in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    See How to solve a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Hope this information helps.

  • IE crashes when you try to install Microsoft Update

    I'm using XP w/SP3 installed.  Windows update works fine and I've installed all the updates available; However, when I try to change to Microsoft Update, I hear the blip to allow ActiveX must be installed, but IE is frozen and does not display the bar or shows only a part of it.  I have disabled all add-ons and run more of the FixIt for IE and update options.  I have also reset Windows Update by using the FixIt and also manually re-register dll update involved.  I use IE 8 and have re-installed two times - no change in problem.  Is it possible to manually install the required ActiveX for Microsoft Update, or I can find and manually install updates for Office for this system?

    McAfee (and Norton) applications are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. Even if things seem to be OK now, I highly recommend doing the following to avoid any problem (for example, during the installation of the updates of security this month over the next week).

  • Canon Solution MenuEX crashes when you try to install it

    Software problem

    I downloaded the software for Canon Pixma MG6150 since the CD successfully, with the exception of one piece. When I try to open the software Canon Solution MenuEX I get a message from Microsoft that the software "has encountered a problem and needs to close' barrel Support helped me to uninstall the MenuEX Solution software and download it from their Web site. Same message when I try to open it. Canon that it is a Windows problem. I am using Windows XP Media Center. Any ideas?

    Thanks for your replies.

    I found the solution on a blog by a person who had the same problem. All I had to do was uninstall my previous Dell AIO 944 printer, locate a file of remains "Twain_32" for Dell monitor and uninstall it. When I reinstalled the software MP Navigator and MenuEX Solution worked flawlessly. I informed the Canon of what a number of other people had the same problem.

    Once again, thanks a lot.

  • Windows error when you try to install Adobe Flash

  • blank window appears when you try to install skydrive, wild tangent games app and more... Please help!

    Hi people! OK so I got some problems with my windows 7 dell vostro laptop 1540. I bought a PC game of Wild Tangent, but you have to install their app games before you can download & play the game.

    So I tried to install the soft games and it worked very well, quickly too, but once the window has appeared, it was just empty - completely... nothing on it whatsoever, no error code, nothing. So I've been on wild tangent support and they told me to go to the site intel and run a driver intel update utility, so I did and it came with 4 things (but he not do it automatically, it said that I needed to perform these tasks manually) this is what they have listed:
    • Graphics driver (that's all it says)
    • Intel Chipset software installation utility chipset INF
    • Audio driver for motherboard Intel
    • Wireless (wifi) - dell 1701 802.11b/g/n wireless network card (I tried to install this, but I would not let me)
    • Wired networking - RealTek PCIe GBE family controller
    I have not the first clue how to get all these because I think that some of them were arrested today (my laptop did not have these updates since January 2011) so I tried to research on how to deal with this problem, but unless I do not use the term appropriate for that, there's nothing I can find what looks like this question.
    I would really appreciate comments of a person I am pulling my hair out :(

  • InstallShield Crash when I try to install some Disciples II

    Im trying to install a game, Disciples II, which should be compatible with Vista Ultimate 64-bit. When I click on install, the InstallShield immediately blocked, so I click on let microsoft go online and find the problem... then comes the update, which does nothing to help the problem.

    Hello MerlynLeger, welcome.

    My recommendation would be to go into the content of the CD/DVD via Explorer and run the installer as administrator.

    Try this:

    1. click on START
    2. go in 'computer '.
    3. right click on the CD/DVD drive and select "explore".
    4. find the setup.exe file, right click and select 'run as administrator '.

    If this does not work then I would suggest that updated InstallShield. You can do so via this method. The instructions have images of Windows XP, however, the same concept applies to Windows Vista.

    UPDATE INSTALLSHIELD

    1. Determine if the installation is compressed or not compressed.

      1. Launch Windows Explorer by pressing the Windows key + E or select Start > run and enter explorer.
      2. Navigate to the location of the installation files. For example, if the installation is on a CD, go to the CD-ROM drive.

      3. Search for the installation file. Typical names for installation files are setup.exe, update.exe, installer.exe, etc..
      4. Right-click on the Setup file that you are trying to install, and then select Properties.
    2. In the Properties dialog box, click the Version tab.

    Examine the file Version field to determine the version number of the InstallShield engine you need. Follow the instructions for your version. If you started the installation in step 1 d, cancel.

    If the version number of the file is from 2.0 x or less:

    1. Delete the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\engine from the machine.
    2. Download IkernelUpdate.exe.
    3. Once downloaded, double-click it. This installs the InstallShield engine for your installation.

    If the file version number begins with 6:

    1. Delete the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\engine from the machine.
    2. Download IkernelUpdate.exe.
    3. Once downloaded, double-click it. This installs the InstallShield engine for your installation.

    3. Unzip this file. For more information on decompressing the files, see How to unzip a file in Windows XP? or How to use the WinZip utility in Windows 2000 or earlier versions?.
    4. Double-click the IsScript.msi file. This installs the ISScript engine for the version of the installation.

    If not:

    • If the file version is less the 7.01

      1. Delete the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Professional\RunTime\0700 from the machine.
      2. Download InstallShieldEngineUpdate700.exe.

    1. Delete the folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield\Driver\8 from the machine.
    2. Download ISScript8.zip.
    3. Unzip this file. For more information on decompressing the files, see How to unzip a file in Windows XP? or How to use the WinZip utility in Windows 2000 or earlier versions?.
    4. Double-click the IsScript8.msi file. This installs the IsScript engine for this version of the installation.

    Hello

    Disconnect all external devices from the computer and try to restart the computer and check what is happening.
