  Install Windows 7, but Windows Installer does not work.

  Recently, I received my upgrade to 7. I have a new Toshiba running Vista 32 bit. When I try to do the upgrade, I can't go past the part where certain software is uninstalled. The Windows Installer does not work. I'm now waiting to upgrade that I can't because of this. I tried every fix I found, but nothing works. I even tried to download and reinstall the installer, but I get an error code indicating that it does not apply to my computer. I would appreciate a response. I can't believe the issues that I'm with a laptop two month old.

• I bought a book of game Google and downloaded the CMHA on my desk. When I try and open it with my Adobe Digital Edition, I get the error message "license make mistake. "License server communication problem: E_Stream_Error.

  I bought a book of game Google and downloaded the CMHA on my desk. When I try and open it with my Adobe Digital Edition, I get the error message "license make mistake. "License server communication problem: E_Stream_Error.

  Response to SMcLeod8:

  Hello, I managed to solve my problem of E_STREAM_ERROR regarding the Google Play ebook. The short answer is to use ADE 4.0.3.

  When I met the problem of the E_STREAM_ERROR, it is with ADE 2.0.67532 on Windows 7 (and this had no problem handling the Kobo CMHA, OverDrive files, open a library and a sample epub BCAM from Adobe itself). This is why I would not upgrade my 2.0.67532 to the last 4.0.3. Instead, I used another Windows 7 PC and installed ADE 4.0.3. On my first try, I allowed the 4.0.3 without ID, and there was an error E-GOOGLE_DEVICE_LIMIT_REACHED. I then allowed with the Adobe-same ID * as my 2.0.67532 PC. It worked as I could get my epub from Google.

  As I don't expect a response from Adobe technical support, I guess that now Google license servers do not work with Adobe 2.0.3. I hope this will help you solve your problem - at least to get your ebook in ADE first.

  However, I would be careful replacing 4.0.3 of my 2.0.67532 I wouldn't be surprised if the latest version will not work with other suppliers of epub for social mobilization. For me the upgrade to the latest version of the software is never the best solution - it could solve a problem, but creates another.

  Note: * I understand that you can authorize up to a total of six computers with the same Adobe ID. Not sure that this policy is still standing.

• When I try and play BBC I player or the BBC radio he will play for about 30 seconds and then starts to buffer.

  Original title: download

  Just upgraded to Win.8 when I try and play BBC I player or the BBC radio he will play for about 30 seconds and then starts to put in the memory buffer, all of the ideas.

  Hi Mike,.

  This could be a problem with Internet streaming on BBC iplayer or BBC radio.

  I would like to gather some details related to the query:

  (1) is this problem specific to the reader of the BBC or BBC radio? Are you having the same problem watching videos online or listen to music online on the computer?

  (2) deal with the issue with a single channel on the radio?

  (3) how you try to use the iplayer? It uses the browser? If so, what is the Internet browser?

  If this problem is specific to the BBC radio or iplayer, you can post the query on the forum from the BBC to help:

  http://www.BBC.co.UK/iPlayer/episode/p0196ln8/The_Forum_Fragility_in_Nature/#

  Please get back to us if the issue is not specific to the BBC player and we would be happy to help you come.

• When I try and load this brush pack I bought, he says "because this file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop.

  Ive restarted photoshop several times and it still does not work im on photoshop cs5 and I did have this problem for a while but again it's an abr file.

  If this problem persists, check that this brush pack is compatible with photoshop cs5-also, it would help a lot to know these things: If your photoshop work on an apple operating system or the windows operating system over which version of the operating system. Other things that could harm this pack brush work are its installed incorrectly or in the wrong place can also reset preferences cs5 help. Finally if what you initially posted is true and or exact-"-when I try and load this brush pack I bought" he says "because this file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop" then this is exactly like a Pack of Brush that will not WORK with CS5.

  If you run a mac as "little snitch" utility, "mackeeper', 'clean up my mac', ect. remove it now.

  If the problem persists check your hard drive with disk utility, if the reader does not error create a new account user with administration rights, start this account and try in this account.
