    I divided my HARD drive into 3 partitions C, D, E
    On C, I have installed Windows operating system and all applications like MS Office for example.

  • Cannot install programs on Windows 7

    I had a problem with the Wild Tangent game console that came pre-installed on my Dell laptop with Windows 7 OS 64 nit. I uninstalled the app, but now when I try to re - install, the program starts to install it, but the icons are missing in the Setup Panel and I can't click on anything.

    • Manually, I deleted all the old files and run a registry clean to remove old registry keys.
    • My firewall is off, like all viruses, spyware and other programs that may interfere with the installation.
    • I scan a file system [SFC] Checker to see if there are problems also ensured that the windows service install is started.
    • I turned off the User Account Control (UAC)
    • I also recorded and saved the installer of Windows
    • I also tried to install as administrator and also tried to install it using the Windows XP settings.

    I don't understand it. This program was on my computer when I got it, so I know it is compatible.

    In this process, I also tried to install Trend Micro housecall program and get the same problems with this program. The installation panel will appear, but with no buttons or icons.

    Hi KatSmith0629,

    You have tried all necessary measures taken to address the problem and nothing seems to work, it is possible that the problem may be with the game itself.

    I suggest that you try to install the game in a user account, and if this fails, then you will need to contact the game support.

    To create a user account

    one) to open user accounts, click the Start button, select Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety, and then click user accounts.

    (b) click on Manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
