  • I can't install or uninstall anything on Windows 7

    I'm having a really frustrating problem where I can't install or uninstall almost anything and also more updates of windows are defective.  First of all, I thought it was a problem with my hard drive, but I tried, ' chkdsk/f', "chkdsk/r", error reporting, etc.  My hard drive has 58 GB free.

    My suspicion is that this has to do with .net 4.0.  I can't uninstall it, because it just hangs.  If I try to uninstall the updates various (e.g. KB2478663), it also blocks.  If I try to install Windows Live Essentials, it fails. If I try to update iTunes, it fails.  If I try to install the drivers for my new HP printers, it fails.
    This is an error message that I get when I try to uninstall .net 4.0.
    Returned IDOK. INSTALLMESSAGE_ERROR [an error occurred when writing to the installation on the drive information. [Check to make sure space is available and click Retry, or Cancel to end the installation.]
    I tried "sfc/scannow".
    Any ideas would be very useful.  In addition, any ideas on how to rule out the possibility that this is a hard drive failure would be useful.

  • Which laptop model can be installed in Windows Server 2003 and PIA?

    People,

    Hello. The PIA (Weblogic and Tuxedo and SQL Server) and the PeopleTools are compatible with Windows Server 2003 or 2008. But it is not compatible with Windows 7. Because my HP laptop is installed with Windows 7 and can not be installed on Windows Server 2003 or 2008, I need to buy another laptop to install Windows Server 2003 or 2008 PIA and PeopleTools.

    I need to know what model of laptop computer can be installed on Windows Server 2003/2008 and double boots several operating systems. Everyone installs Windows Server 2003/2008 and PIA in any laptop? Please tell me the model of the laptop.

    Thanks in advance.

    Lucy

    Any modern laptop with lots of RAM (> = 4 GB) and hard disk space, within capablities of 64-bit virtualization should be well.
    Even if you have Windows 7 OS to host, you can still install a virtual machine software installable on top of your operating system (for example, VMWare), then install an operating system supported as a virtual machine (called guest operating system). You will work on this virtual machine, exactly as it was a server, waiting for your host what OS is also running, no need to dual-boot.

  • Can I install my Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 that I used on a new computer that I will be buying?

    I have Microsof Office Professional Edition 2003 that I used on my computer.  I want to get a new computer and I was wondering if I can install it on my new computer.  I have the disks to install, with a product key on the back of the package.  Is it safe to use on the new computer since it's always my computer?  In addition, this version is compatible with Windows 7?  (I used it on Windows XP).  Thank you!

    Hi DorisDowd,

    It seems that you have a retail copy of Microsoft Office Professional 2003. According to the license terms, it can be installed on a primary device and a portable device at a time.
    You can look here: http://www.microsoft.com/About/Legal/EN/US/IntellectualProperty/UseTerms/Default.aspx

    So yes, you can still use it on a new computer if you do not buy one. It is also certainly compatible with Windows 7. Visit the Compatibility Center Windows 7 here:

  • Missing Microsoft Office 2003 product key

    I have Microsoft Office 2003 on an old computer that was given to me. Microsoft Office 2003 has never been installed on this computer but when I try to run it, it asks for Product Key.I never had the CD and the owner before me did not. How I can fnd the product key, or I can get around it somehow?

    Hello Arnie,

    You will need to contact the previous owner of the product key if he or she had brought the Office 2003 program. Incase if the program is not authentic and the previous owner is not a product key, then you can buy the Office Suite and then you can install it on the computer. You can get the latest Office Suite which is available in the following links:

  • install new computer office 2003

    I bought a new HP p6142p computer and want to copy and move my Office 2003 to it. Will someone please tell me how to proceed? I have MS Word version 9 and when I reopen it a word doc it will be blurred to the point of being useless.

    You must install Office 2003 and your new computer by using the installation diskettes. Do not try to copy on.  There is also a settings file Office 2003 on your old computer (search in the Office 2003 menu) you need to move to a folder on the new computer.  After you install Office 2003, and then open the settings of Office 2003 on the new computer and import the old settings file.  Now, all your Office program settings will be just like those on the old computer.  Then, you have to go to the Microsoft Office Web site and get updates.

  • Can't install or uninstall non-Windows and related Windows-related programs on the desktop of Windows 7 64 bit

    Hi all, on Windows 7 64-bit PC brother Dell, tried to install programs such as AVG Anti Virus, Remote desktop connection update.

    Every time we try what is installation hangs and nothing happens, to use the Task Manager to complete not only the program, if it is not there at all, but the actual process.

    Same thing happens if we try to uninstall a program.

    Can uninstall in safe mode,

    Have tried restore system to a time of ealrier, but the system does not want to do same.

    At work after a few weeks, but since then without success.

    I ran SFC/scanow.

    No Anti Virus is installed at present. that, like the program, I was able to uninstall in safe mode and using the Norton Uninstall tool.

    Tried Mr FixIt, but nothing helped.

    What else can I try before I go to the extreme of a new facility? Looks like a problem with the Windows Me installation program.

    Thanks in advance
