    tan7655,
    If I read this correctly, you have a portable computer that do not have an operating system on it.  You try to install Vista and get the error.
    You've restarted the Vista installation?  So then you get the same error? If you have tried to install more than once and continue to receive this error, check that the laptop is capable of Vista?  You may need to check with the manufacturer of the laptop to see if it is able to support Vista.

  • Error message"the file is maybe damaged or corrupted 1610153464 / also cannot open projects in the background 26: 142

    Hi all

    I hope someone can help me.

    I use AE CC/Windows 7 on a Dell, 32 GB of RAM, 64-bit op system, processor: Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU x 5670 @ 2.93 Ghz 2.93 Ghz (2 CPUs).

    So far I had worked on many projects with no problems and then a few weeks ago, project crashing non-stop. The problem has been resolved when I got rid of all the MP3s and diverted to RAM. Once again, it was a problem that I had not in the past and I don't remember changing anything whatsoever.

    Now, it seems that it is impossible for me to export/rendering a project in a Quick time or same AVI file. If its quick time, I get this message: unable to make failure of After Effects error one module output. The file may be damaged or corrupted -1610153464 and if I am trying to export with AVI I get this message: cannot open projects in the background AE 26: 142)

    What is happening with the various projects.

    I have read the forums on hearing that the problem may be a Bug with quicktime and H.264? I never had a problem with it before, but even once when I try to export AVI I get this error message:

    Cannot open projects in the background AE

    I have a feeling that it is associated with quick time. I uninstalled and reinstalled QT, but still not the problem. It will open the old QT files without problem. I tried to download an update of the correction of a bug as a proposed post but I think I have the final reason why it did not work.

    This project has a couple of quick media files H.264. Do I need to convert? They are the cause of all this?

    I'm sorry, I really tried to seek answers in the forums before contacting you here, but I can't find a reason for all this mess, which again appeared a few weeks without any problems for months... If someone can point out an area where I can start looking, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

    QuickTime H.264 is terrible. Do not use it.

    Use the AVI file, you have created in your Adobe Media Encoder and use the parameters of H.264 there.
