  Hello the lost.

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  After reading your original post, looks like the error you encounter this "could not set the locale information offline (error 0x80fe000), you can."
  try to install it on a logic instead of the main disk drie. You have two hard disks on your computer, look at and see that it is set as main and make sure that you start the installation it. I also run diagnostics on your hard drive and make sure that you are not any problems before you begin the installation.

  I hope this helps.

  Hello

  Flash Player and Windows Media Player are not interchangeable.

  Like many things on the web, the Flash Player local storage can be put to bad use. This does not necessarily mean the Flash Player without scruples or bad product - it's the sites Web/people who abuse of this (depending on your point of view).

  You can configure Flash Player to block local storage on your computer. This does not necessarily all the features of Flash Player - for example with my set of Flash Player to block local storage I can still see videos on YouTube.

  The controls for the Flash Player local storage can be found here: *

  Start-> Control Panel-> Flash Player (32-bit) (Tab instorage )

  There is a good explanation of privacy and local storage of Flash Player here:

• My laptop has problems and I can't use most Windows programs on my computer

  Original title: nothing works

  I turned on my laptop Vista today after using it only not for about a week and he is haunted by the things go wrong. The network in the status bar icon indicates that the network is disconnected, even if it is connected properly. I can't use most Windows programs including:

  OneCare, Windows Update Services, the event viewer, Defender, also Outlook will only open in safe mode. These are only the ones I've tried, so there may be more.

  I received a 0x8007043c error message when you check the update of Windows, but most of the time that it does not open.

  As I said, I haven't used the PC for a week or two and I have Windows Update set to automatic, so it can update itself, but I do not remember.

  If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful for your advice!

   

  Thank you.

  tried to fix the window e-computer can't find any folder files

  Hi Anna_Alice,
   
  Follow these steps and check if persists it to the question.
   
  Step 1:
   
  Problem could be related to infection of virus/malware or spyware. I wish that you run a full scan using your security software in order to remove the malicious software.
   
  Step 2:
   
  I would have you done SFC scan on your machine to determine if the problem related to the corruption of the system files.
   
  Step 3:
   
  If the steps above do not work, I suspect involvement of conflict of software of third party causing the problem to occur. I would like you to put your computer in a clean boot State. Clean boot helps eliminate conflicts of third party software.
   
  Note: Follow step 7 to your computer as usual.
   
  Step 4:
   
  If none of these suggestions/steps help, do a System Restore to the point (Week) where the computer was working normally.
