Code error 0x00000005 for windows 7 Professional 64-bit

I tried to download a program form a DVD and get the message 0 x 00000005 error said he did not run the program on the cd/dvd-rom or other removable media?   I could not also download updated program Sony... a box pops up saying the target could not be found?  Any ideas to fix this?

Hello Aj432,

More than suggests Fouzan, you could try and see if you can download your software then right click and select 'run as administrator '.
Is the program that you try to install compatible with Windows 7?

You can click here to see the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.

If the software is not compatible, try and run in Compatibility Mode.

If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

Use the following steps:

(1) right click on the program

2) click Properties

3) click on the Compatibility tab

(4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

If compatibility is not successful, then try and self-test program compatibility issues:

1. open the program compatibility problems theStart button.

Then click on Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting tool, then clickTroubleshooting. Under programs, clickRun done for previous versions of Windows.

2. follow the instructions in the troubleshooting.

If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

If you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate version, install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx) and run your software in Windows XP.

If you run Windows 7 Home Premium, try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player (www.vmware.com), or any other software virtualization part 3rd and install a separate copy of Windows XP (family or professional edition) for this purpose. You can find the virtualization software free that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.

I hope this helps with your question.
If this isn't the case, answer and let us know.

Sincerely,

Marilyn

  • Activation product key for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit problems

    I've had this computer for a while. Several years ago, a friend of mine asked me if I would like to install windows 7 Professional at half price because he pre-ordered 2 copies at half price. I was running Vista and bought from him. I have never had any problems with the product code, through 3 motherboards, (HP hurts many mothers), and have a computer repair store to install a new hard drive by using the same product activation code. I reinstalled Windows 7 pro 64 bits once before experiencing a lot of problems and so about 10 days ago. I have not had any problems until yesterday when I had a messaqge saying that my product key has not been accepted. I have no time to this address until today and I keep re - enter the product key and get the error Code 0xC004C008 message that says that my product key is not valid. Until that time, Windows update has installed more than 100 updates without problem. What can I do? I bought this in good faith and the product key worked before, whenever it was necessary.

    Try the phone activation:

    1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
    (2) press the ENTER"" key.
    (3) to select your "country" you are in the drop-down list.
    (4) choose the option "activate phone".
    (5) stay on the phone * do not select/press any option * and wait for a person to help you.
    (6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.
    (7) the person must give you a confirmation ID, copy it down on paper,

  • XP Professional x 64 Edition for Windows 7 Professional 64-bit upgrade. The best way?

    Hi you all, experts,

    I want to spend my edition of Windows XP Professional x 64 (legit) to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I don't think I need additional options in 'Ultimate', but I need, I am sure, XP mode that comes with "7 Professional".

    Maybe I should mention at this point that I am a member of the program saved Reacondicionador, until you feel that I was fully authorized to "renovate" my own PC.

    First of all a question about Windows 7 itself: -.

    As I said, I need to be able to run certain programs that have been written for XP. The expression "run several Windows XP programs in Windows XP Mode (separate download) company" in "features" means that I have to pay extra for this option? If Yes, how and where to go?

    Is there a reason why my 2D design program which works perfectly under XP Pro x 64 (WOW64) should not be running in the above "Windows XP Mode"?

    Furthermore, I believe that I have several choices on how how to get 'XP' ' 7'.

    1) "OEM", the less expensive but, I understand, once installed on a clean hard disk only, that is all. End, end of story! What should I do if my motherboard fails and needs to be replaced? Can I get a replacement license or I have to buy an another OEM?

    2) 'Upgrade' which I believe will overwrite an existing operating system (matter if it's XP or Vista?) and install "Windows 7". Here are all my existing files maintained? If this is not the case, can I 'restore' to a 'Backup' created by XP?

    3) "Retail", the more expensive but, I understand that, can be transferred or installed on a PC refurbished, although it is only has a license valid on a PC at the same time. Is there a difference between "Retail" and "Upgrade"? Can I use one over the other? If so, why? Is there a difference?

    4) authentic software. Is it possible that I can know without having the product in my hands, or installed on my system, whether or not an article supposed to be "Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64 bit" is actually authentic. Is there a relevant question, can I ask which would identify a fake before I part with my money?

    Thanks in advance for any help you are able to offer.

    No, Windows Virtual PC with Windows XP Mode is free for users of Windows 7 Professional. To learn more:

    Is there a reason why my 2D design program which works perfectly under XP Pro x 64 (WOW64) should not be running in the above "Windows XP Mode"?

    Personally, I've used several graphic programs 2D and 3D even on Windows XP Mode, include The Print Shop, PhotoDraw 2000 v2 and they work very well to this topic. The article I linked to provide instructions how to publish your applications, you can use alongside Windows 7 applications.

    Furthermore, I believe that I have several choices on how how to get 'XP' ' 7'.

    1) "OEM", the less expensive but, I understand, once installed on a clean hard disk only, that is all. End, end of story! What should I do if my motherboard fails and needs to be replaced? Can I get a replacement license or I have to buy an another OEM?

    No, you will need to purchase a new license if your Windows 7 OEM System Builder License fails. You could of course try install and reactivate the components on the new motherboard before buying a new license, because some people have been 'lucky' get it reactive but is is not a guarantee. If the motherboard is replaced based on a defect or warranty, you should be able to reactivate the replacement motherboard.

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    If you do not want to restore Windows XP someday, I suggest that you backup before migrating to Windows 7.

    EaseUS TODO Backup free - CNET Download.com

    You cannot upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7. Especially in the case of Windows XP Professional x 64, you need start a custom Setup by booting from the Windows 7 DVD.

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

    3) "Retail", the more expensive but, I understand that, can be transferred or installed on a PC refurbished, although it is only has a license valid on a PC at the same time. Is there a difference between "Retail" and "Upgrade"? Can I use one over the other? If so, why? Is there a difference?

    Both are the same with one exception.

    Full version - does not require a license of previous qualification.

    Version Upgrae - requires a license of previous qualifying installed (Windows XP, Vista)

    4) authentic software. Is it possible that I can know without having the product in my hands, or installed on my system, whether or not an article supposed to be "Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64 bit" is actually authentic. Is there a relevant question, can I ask which would identify a fake before I part with my money?

  • Make a clone for Windows 7 Professional 64-bit bootable drive

    Hello. I hope that somewhere in here can help me. I do computer training and have to learn with three different versions of the software which I support. I have legitimate copies of each version of the software and often need to Exchange back between the versions on a weekly and sometimes daily.

    When I train on my MacBook Pro, it's an easy thing to do. I use a third-party utility called Super Duper to create discs external bootable to my operating system, the software that I support and my class files. The current version of the software still remains on my internal hard drive. But when I need to train others on two previous versions that I support, I have set the appropriate external drive and run my Mac laptop from the disk external bootable. Make the monthly software updates are easy; I just boot from every external hard drive, and then apply updates to the software on the external drive bootable appropriate.

    On my Windows 7 laptop, he is currently nowhere as easy. I first create a backup of my hard drive with the current version of the software and upgrades. Can I use an external drive to completely replace my current installation with a full backup that contains the appropriate previous version of the software which I support. I have then to restart my system and start to apply the updates that have occurred since I last used the backup of the previous version. After teaching classes, I back up my system with the previous version of the installed software, restoring my external backup with the software current version I support to Windows 7 laptop configuration current-version.

    It is also difficult to explain, as it should do quickly and correctly - especially when time is tight between my training sessions. I hope I explained my problem clearly in the previous paragraph.

    The whole process takes a lot of time and no small amount of aggravation when time is tight between training sessions. I wish it were as easy for my Windows 7 training because it is when I train students from my Mac. I know how to change my boot order of the system to the first reading of my USB port. This is the easiest part. What I don't know how to do is create some external hard drives bootable that carry the previous versions of the software I have support on Windows 7 Professional or home edition Premium. Currently, I have two laptops that are running the 64-bit versions of these operating systems and would be happy to implement any solution at a reasonable price from Microsoft or a third-party provider that could help to make this process easier.

    Anyone here have a solution they use and can recommend which would make patentable Windows 7 as easy it is to my Mac?

    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide me.

    Microsoft deliberately designed all the version of versions do not allow windows to boot from external hard drives more.  Drivers USB and Firewire seems to be loading until late in the Windows startup sequence.  He has also posted some 'hackers' succeeded 'twisted' the Windows image to boo of the USB / Firewire external hard drive.

    Microsoft has designed a "method" of trying to "secure" their "rights" of their software and protect software "piracy". Product activation is 'very' depends on the motherboard "components" for this security.

    Please note that there could be a few "external" hard disks that might work.  external eSATA, SCSI, and SAS hard drive "might" be successfully to Windows startup. The reason main is that the computer and Windows all consider them these types of hard disks as system "internal" hard drives.

  • Windows Vista Edition home premium 64-bit: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit upgrade: on site or install Clean?

    Hello

    In order to know which version of Windows 7 upgrade purchase, using the top prizes starting tomorrow, I would like to know if I can use a facility in place or will require a clean install (when updates are sent in October?).

    I upgrade from Vista Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (to use the XP compatibility feature).

    But the installation in place, I think, is an easier process, especially if some 3rd party software, which does not transfer through a software transfer and cables, should proceed to deactivation, reactivation and or new material for release of the keys, etc. for a clean install.

    The Beta Upgrade Wizard for Windows 7 that I ran on my computer Vista Home Premium 64 upgrade to Windows 7 Professional provides a clean install, not in place. But I wonder if this may be a piece of information in the Beta Wizard. Reading online today mentions that the upgrade to a higher level version (such as Vista Home Premium 64 for Windows 7 64 Profession) can be done on site.

    All links to information Microsoft 'official' on this topic would be appreciated.

  • Anytime Upgrade used to go on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit for Windows 7 Professional and now my computer is slow

    I run:
    Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (used for Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit)
    Intel Core i7 - 2600 k CPU @ 3.40 GHz 3.70 GHz
    32 GB of RAM
    Seagate Barracuda 1 TB GB 7200 RPM HARD drive
    AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series

    I used the Express upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit Windows 7 Professional 64-bit because Premium had a limit of 16 GB of ram.
    He checked and installed correctly without error.
    The main reason I wanted to be rid of this limit was because I could not watch any stream of twitch.tv.
    The upgrade has fixed my ability to watch the twitch.tv stream, but he gave me a problem which was even worse.
    Now, my computer is really slow.

    It takes a little longer than before to start.  When it is completely initialized, however, it is not as slow.  The mouse has just had a bit of lag.
    As soon as I try to use any application, my computer is really slow.

    For example: I open Mozilla Firefox.  There is a delay on when I type.  The mouse really gets lag.  With even just a 2nd tab open almost triple the slowness.

    It also occurs in Skype.  I'll have a delay in typing, and it's just slow in general.
    It also occurs in video games.  In World of Warcraft, for example, I used to get the full 60 fps in an area populated with max graphics.  Now, I rarely go above 10 frames per second with low graphics in an uninhabited area.
    Finally, it also occurs in the videos.  Let's say that I have 2 tabs open in Firefox.  This would normally have me delay like crazy if I try to do things (move the mouse, switch tabs, etc.).  If one of these 2 tabs is YouTube, and I watch a video, it drags you only if I try to move my mouse or tabs.  If I move all of my mouse, he plays the close video very well.  Even with the rivers Twitch.tv, Own3d, etc..  He accuses only if I move my mouse etc.  Also, if I don't move my mouse, the audio gets too quirky.  It's a kind of dubstep/robot/static noise.

    I tried to fix it or to limit the things:

    • Updated drivers
    • sfc/scannow (no problem)
    • Safe mode with network (always gal)
    • Service disabled for ALL , including Windows services (always gal)
    • Registry cleaned using CCcleaner
    • Clean a bunch of different caches and tempfiles.
    • A run each utility troubleshooting of Windows on my computer (only found no problem)
    • Reset my IP/TCP
    • The event logs recorded, but anything too rare.
    • Verified resource monitor, but my CPU usage is fine.  He's even not higher than 30-40% on the worst of the LAG.  Memory is also very good. It is used to 3 GB with 28 GB free.

    I tried a lot of things, but I don't remember right now.  I will edit this post when I remember or try new things.

    Thank you for taking the time to read my post and, I hope, provide input!

    I can tell you that registry cleaners are snake oil.  They do not help much, and they can cause problems.  Have you checked Device Manager to see if there is everything! or? for all entries?  Using a wireless mouse?  If so, try a wired.  Also, right-click computer and click Properties to see if he uses all the memory.  A number of people have found that they must make adjustments to get to use all of a large amount of RAM.  Your motherboard have integrated graphics?  If she and the CPU card or graphics are active at the same time, they may have a conflict, then you may have to disable in the BIOS.  Search for conflicting IRQ in system information.  Click Start and type system information into the search window.  Click on the + sign next to the hardware resources, and then click IRQ.

    Check the system event log.  To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools.  Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    Good luck.
