Cannot load 'optional components' (e.g., games etc) from my MS drive, SP2 to my SP2 system.

Windows XP Professional 32-bit - Sevice Pack 2. My installation disc is SP 2 and was used to install XP Pro. When I bought my computer. I uninstalled Service Pack 3 in order to install "options." It starts to install then stops running and asks me to load the disc into my drive, where he was all along!

  • Add/Remove components error and DVD driver error: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

    Original title: Add/Remove components error and DVD driver error

    Yesterday, I removed several components of windows to attempt to clean my cpu. After the reboot, I noticed that my DVD drive disappeared. I tried to update the driver but told me I have the most updated version, I uninstalled and reinstalled the drive, but I still get the same error. Under Driver Details, it shows that I have a lot of drivers for my Phillips DVD player. However, the status of the device is the following: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device. I've done the troubleshooting, and the two options has not fixed the problem.

    Then I tried to add windows components that I removed, thinking maybe that was the problem. However, when I try to add them, I get an error message that says: 'Setup cannot copy the file zClientm.ex_' it shows the location of this file as being in windows/i386, and of course, the file is located in this folder. So when I go to browse to locate the file, I find and click on it to open it, but I keep getting the same error message that the file is not found and Setup cannot continue.

    I realize that this problem seems very rare and weird, but any help at all would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • Cannot load the game programs__

    I'm unable to load ONE of the following games (can't bring to even begin to load)...  I ran Hero IV on my NEW machine (Toshiba satellite I7) when I first got it 11/2010 and FATE and Might & Magic VI... now loading I get no errors loading simply do not at all...   I clicked on the DVD and tried to launch the set up... tried older program compatibility did not work...  Help, please.  Programs worked with XP, previous laptop with windows 7...

    Hi rjs6455,

    1. what version of Windows 7 use you? It is 32-bit or 64-bit?

    This problem may occur if the games are not fully compatible with Windows 7.

    As you could use games in windows XP and windows 7 laptop computer previopus, you can try to install the game using administrator privileges.

    Step 1:

    If you try to install using a CD and then try to copy the files for installation on the desktop and then repeat the installation with administrator privileges:

    a. right-click on the installation files and select run as administrator to install the games.

    Step 2:

    If you're still having problems, then I suggest you to install Windows XP mode and then install the games in XP mode and check.

    You can view the following link to use Windows XP mode:

    Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/install-and-use-Windows-XP-mode-in-Windows-7

    Note: Windows XP mode will only run in Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate and Enterprise edition

  • Cannot depend on Snipping Tool since Tablet PC optional components does not in turn features toggle Windows

    Original title: optional components does not in turn Windows Tablet PC features on or off in order to activate the Snipping tool

    In other posts, I read to follow the following steps to turn on the tool captures for my laptop running Vista Home Edition with Service Pack 2.

    1. Click the Vista Start button and go to the control panel.
    2. Click the programs link.
    3. Click or turn off Windows features turn on link. If the user account control appears for confirmation, click continue.
    4. Scroll down the list of features in Windows features dialog window, tick the check box for Tablet PC optional components activate and display the tool captures of Vista.

    However, the Tablet PC optional components does NOT appear in the list of features available on my PC.

    For more information, in the Panel, I have an icon for Tablet PC setting but it contains no reference to snipping tool allowing. I also have the pen & input device in Control Panel icon as well.  But still, I have no optional components of Tablet PC in the list of features.  Help please.

    It is Vista Home Basic, so I imagine that there is no way to download for Basic, correct?

    That's what I understand. You're out of the loop. I'm sorry.

  • Home Premium 64 bit Ultimum 64-bit upgrade fails during execution. Error message: Windows cannot configure some components

    Upgrade problems. Home Premium 64-bit to 64-bit Ultimum.


    I tried several times to upgrade Vista Home Premium 64-bit Vista Ultimate 64-bit. It ends at until the end, but when it restarts, it says windows cannot configure some components and starts a restoration to Home Premium. So frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.

    Both Home Premium and Ultimate out of support in two months.  One company will receive technical support from Microsoft (security patches, etc.) after April.  Here is the political Support of Vista page.  'Not applicable' entries in the column of Extended Support mean that this edition is not eligible for updates, including critical security updates, after the end of standard support on April 10, 2012.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/lifecycle/search/?sort=PN&Alpha=Windows+Vista

    If you can, return your ultimate and buy business.  I realize that copies of business are becoming difficult to find.  Another option is to upgrade to Windows 7.  I suggest professional since Ultimate offer very little more than Pro (just the Bitlocker and multilingual support) and is also not intended for extended support after Windows 7 standard support ends after 2014.  Professional will extend support through 2019.

    Having said all this, I also had problems using the update with Vista installation option.  In many cases I resorted to the use of the custom installation option.  That does not work, but of course this means using Windows Easy Transfer to save your files and settings and reinstall your programs.  What I eventually learned with Vista upgrade can take all day even when all goes well, then there is not much time saved during a custom installation followed in any case of reinstalling the software.

    One thing you can try is to completely remove your anti-malware software.  Just turning it off is not enough because some antivirus programs install a watchdog on the part of the registry.  If something prevents the writing of registry entries at the end of the upgrade you so you would get a rollback.

  • laptop cannot load due to damaged or missing drivers

    Hi all

    After installing the updates of Windows Vista on my Dell laptop and reboot, I get the error message that it cannot load because the missing drivers or damaged:

    \windows\system32\drivers\pciide.sys

    I tried all the options without success. Not everyone looks like they might try to start and then take back me to the error screen. He suggested to load my re install dvd and reboot, but of course, restarting it informs me of my missing drivers or damaged.

    I also just installed a new hard drive to replace my damaged, even if I doubt that these two things are related.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Cannot load Windows 7 - Satellite C660 guard freezing

    Hello world.

    This is a biggy. I have a Toshiba AMD Vision Satellite C660 / C660D laptop without Windows installation disc. Last week, it has become very slow, the interface resembles that of the interface of safe mode, then finally, he became completely unresponsive, therefore, through F8 on start-up I selected the option to return to the factory settings (I have this option)

    The BACK screen appeared and started normal loading then who responded, then I rebooted only to see Windows starts for the first time and carry the load, before that I had to create a cd boot from my other laptop to reboot the system that I had lost the boot mngr.

    The last part of the installation process begins whereby a white Toshiba screen appears with a green progress bar which is responsible for some drivers (see attachment). There are 39 steps to this process and I remember before the computer should keep restart itself, but it keeps freezing after about two steps. I kept turning it off and eventually the locked system administrator accounts.

    Once more, I restarted the PC, but this time in safe mode, the operating system did in fact load in safe mode and I created a few new accounts with administrator privileges, however, I still cannot load all of the operating system because it keeps freezing during the last part of the process.

    I have very limited knowledge of loading operating systems, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    First of all, it was a big mistake NOT to create a recovery disk Toshiba.
    The recovery of HARD drive that you were able to start pressing F8, is only possible if the HARD drive is not defective.
    I think in your case I think that there is something wrong with the HARD drive because there was a Bishop of startup notification which means that this laptop can not find a boot manager to boot the system.

    I have no other idea about trying to reinstall the system using the Toshiba Recovery disk or another drive in Windows 7 (of course if you have one)
    If the recovery fails, you will need to investigate on how much material could be affected. I think in this case it of needed to start with HARD disk check.
    Possibly the HARD drive needs to be replaced. Of course it is possible that I m wrong part is affected, but at the first step you should check the new installation of the OS.

    A recovery disc can be ordered here:
