Assistant compatibility programs does not work.

Well, I'm just trying to install an old game, and it would be good to use the program compatibility Wizard if it would work. Opens the window for her, but is quickly followed by a second reading window, "an error has occurred in the Script on this Page." No matter what I do in this window, it closes and the wizard opens with instructions to click on next, but the buttons are not labeled. Only works of buttons (Cancel button), the two others just bring back to the top of the Script error window. It's extremely frustrating. Any help you could offer would be appreciated.

Hello, Audrey.

(1) right click on the program

2) click Properties

3) click on the Compatibility tab

(4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

If you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate version, install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx) and run your software in Windows XP.

If you run Windows 7 Home Premium, try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player (www.vmware.com), or any other software virtualization part 3rd and install a separate copy of Windows XP (family or professional edition) for this purpose. You can find the virtualization software free that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.

  • Why CRYSTAL_REPORT program does not work with windows Vista? __

    Why CRYSTAL_REPORT program does not work with windows Vista?

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/default.aspx

    Windows Vista Compatibility Center

    First thing to do is to check its Vista compatibility at the link above, and if not to see what patches/solutions are available from its manufacturer...

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/

    If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
    It works for some programs, but not all.

    This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

    If it's Vista compatible > uninstall it > Re-download/save to your desktop > right click on the setup.exe > run as admin.

    See you soon.

  • Recovery disc Creator program does not work

    I bought a new Tecra, because I have Nero to burn discs, I removed Sonic my system and after that I recognized that recovery disc Creator program does not work!
    I reinstall Sonic using Toshiba Application install, but nothing has changed and said: my recovery disc Creator program. "shortcut is broken!
    I searched the Forum, but could not find any solution
    is there anywhere to download recovery disk creator program?

    Hello

    the link is still present? If so, right-click on the shortcut and tell what program or the name of the program is linked. Maybe we can find something to take home your recovery disk creator.

    You know, that sounds really weird that a program always disappears after reinstalling the burning program sonic. Maybe it s just a special option or something that needs to be enabled.

  • Add/Remove Programs does not work with some programs in XP

    Why add and remove program does NOT work on some programs. These are programs on a computer that was created using a process of the image. Like ghost?

    If you have a third party app that will not uninstall, I think I might check the support page for this application and see what they have to say about it.

    Some AV products have obtained quite complicated that add/remove programs is not the recommended way to remove them, so some companies have developed their own removal procedures and some have special programs to manage their affairs.

    Norton/Symantec has a special page for you:

    http://us.Norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docURL=20080416133836EN

    I see that just goes through Add/Remove programs too, but there is an option "what happens if it does not work" too (or post in the forums).

  • My MSN mail program does not work

    My MSN mail program does not work. I had the computer at a Staples office supply store to get a verified cd drive. They said they were doing free computer cleaning. I said yes. When it was finished, I took the computer home and Premium MSN mail program would not be executed. Error messages say files are missing. I downloaded a file and then another message poped saying another file was missing. I got at Staples and I don't think they know how to fix it. I guess that the program needs to be reinstalled. My concern is that there are folders with important emails in them. They are erased if I re-install the program? Where should I go to re - install.

  • saying vprotect popup program does not work

    popup vprotect

    I am (and have for years) running windows Vista.

    for the last two weeks, I've been making a Microsoft upward (supposidly), saying vprotect program does not work.   It is, to my knowledge, not something that I have loaded.

    I have to cancel the pop up all the time--seems to pop up when you access an electronic internet/e-mail connection.

    I tried looking for this "program", so I can delete or reload... but can not find or get the search results negative for vprotect!

    Any ideas?

    I use the paid version of AVG - 7 have been for about two years.

  • back program does not work under XP

    When I try to open this accounting program, the command window opens and a text flashes on the screen, then it goes to a blinking cursor.  This program works very well under Windows 2000.  Is there a way to make it work in XP SP3?

    When I try to open this accounting program, the command window opens and a text flashes on the screen, then it goes to a blinking cursor.  This program works very well under Windows 2000.  Is there a way to make it work in XP SP3?

    Unlike earlier versions of Windows, Windows XP does not rest on the BACK, and as a result, Windows XP does not have a program to do many things that would allow BACK.

    On the other hand, is Windows 2000, such as Windows XP, based on Microsoft's NT operating system, and in general, a program that runs on Windows 2000 must run under XP.  You can compare, for example,
    Troubleshooting in Windows XP MS-DOS-based programs

    with

    Troubleshooting MS-DOS-Based in Windows programs (that applies to Windows 2000)

    and you will see that the documents are virtually identical.

    If the suggestions of "Troubleshooting" in the article XP don't help not (in fact, before judge you), see if you can get your old application work using the Compatibility Mode of Windows XP program.  If the configuration in Windows 2000 does not work, try Windows 95.

  • Vista laptop - programs does not work

    So, I was recently lucky enough to meet your typical Vista Security 2011 virus on my Dell laptop.  We met in the past I would be redemarrer to restart in safe mode, run the malware and generally she finds and remove it.  Well, this time I do the same thing as in the past, he finds it, but currently no program will run in normal mode.  I can get into safe mode, start the .exe files and others, but not in normal mode.  I combed the advice and tried several options that include:

    * Various /scans, Malware, AVG, etc.
    * Regedit, replacement of the exe, exefile, ' 1%"...and so on.
    * Find a vista_fix.exe file and I tried to use it last night, he merged, said to reset the computer, but nothing has changed
    * Microsoft Fixit (only runs in normal mode, but does not work... can not run it, he never completed create a control point)

    I can see pretty good most of these responses when searching on different boards, but none of them does not seem to work.  Just to get into the detail here, I don't receive any message when I try to run a program, nothing happens and it crashes windows Explorer.  Also, if I'm in normal mode and try to run something like cmd, regedit, msconfig, it crashes the window start and I can't use it anymore.

    I tried to go to the restore points, but nothing doesn't count, as does nothing when I try to run a file.  Oh and the internet works, so I can use it.  I also usually able to use malware, but he found nothing more.  I really am out of town on a laptop now, so I can't play with it atm, but I would love any assistance people can provide to combat this virus.  I'll get an external hard drive to back up all our photos, music, files once I get back and will just wipe soon if nothing works.

    Thanks in advance.

    You can activate the Device Manager to view hidden devices by following the steps mentioned below:

    To work around this behavior and display devices when you click Show hidden devices:

    1. Click Start, point to programs, point to Accessories, and then click command prompt.
    2. At a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

      Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1

    Uninstall all software and drivers for printers:

    When you need to uninstall a driver completely, the best and safest method is to use the uninstaller of the device (if it has one). If you have added the device to your system with a Setup program (as is the case with most of the graphics card and sound card drivers, for example), you can uninstall it as you would any other program.

    1. Click Start, type uninstall program, and then press enter.
    2. In the uninstall window, which appears, scroll through the list and find your device or drivers. Double-click the entry to start the uninstall process.

    Sometimes devices will not have an uninstall program or the uninstall program will not appear in the list. In these cases, you can use Device Manager to remove the driver completely.

    1. Click Start, type Device Managerand press enter.
    2. Find and double click on the category of the device you want to uninstall (for example, the graphic card would be listed under display card) driver.
    3. Right click on the device, and then click Uninstall.
    4. Windows prompts you to confirm the removal of the device. Click OK to remove the driver.
    5. Once the uninstall is complete, restart your computer as soon as possible.

    Once the above steps are done, click here to download the full software features for your printer and follow the Setup process to start to use your printer again.

    I would like to know if these measures worked for you.  If they did, it's great!  Give us some reinforcements by clicking on the solution and laurels, buttons that help and others see that we have the answers!

Any ideas anyone.  (Win 7). Thank you.

    I spent a week trying to fix the program, but nothing helps, the software company suggested to restore the file of documents on 'default' to solve the problem. It does not work.

    I have now re-installed the program again, and when I get to install the voice, I get error 1406, related to permissions.  The end result is the same, the key guard code reappear empty after I enter the code and try to run the program.  This suggests that the problem is due to my set up.
