Hello p55gd65,

Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

I found a thread on the Forum to conquer and control that well that is not the exact error you receive, is very similar in nature. After reading the steps found that these should be followed by you as well as to start troubleshooting.

  • Error - Sorry, a serious error has occurred for the installation of the game Command and Conquer Generals.

    Original title: Command and Conquer Generals error? Some one care to help?

    So now I'm a little disappointed in how things are going right now.

    I had Command and Conquer Generals before and I used to read. Bug of the game problems are forcing me to remove it. To make things worse, my PC has been infected with malware/spyware that sneak their way inside my C & C Generals App. I did a full scan using Spy Bot Search & Destroy alongside with MalwareBytes Anti-Malware.

    Then, I tried to re - download and installed a CLEAN one. However, when it loads the classic C & C Splash Screen(the loading page that appears before the game turns into a full screen app), another windows appears and displays this:

    "TECHNICAL PROBLEMS".
    "Sorry, a serious error has occurred."

    After the application closes, and happens whenever I start the game.

    Can someone help me?

    I don't know what's happened since she was working before.

    I do weekly maintenance using Auslogics Boost Speed 5 and Systweak Advanced System Optimizer 3.

    System Specs:
    Microsoft Windows XP SP3
    Intel Pentium IV CPU 2.00 GHZ
    256 RAM
    Radeon 7000 / Radeon VE Family (Microsoft Corporation)

    Every effort to answer my question will be much, much, much appreciated!

    I'll make sure that you have all the patches that are underway for the game Command and Conquer Generals.
    http://www.GameSpot.com/PC/strategy/commandconquergenerals/downloads.html

    If you have access to a library and a flash drive, you can download Microsoft Security Essentials or any other antivirus disk analysis software and then install on your computer even if you do not have access to the internet.
    This will help make sure that you have cleaned your computer properly.

    A system restore back to a point in time so if you have installed all new programs since the date of the restoration of the system, you won't have any more of these programs installed.

    I don't know any other software in system restore, but you can do a search on the internet, however, they can only restore from when their software is installed.

    I hope this helps.

    added value for xp... not on this model...

    FN F6 and F7 for less bright and shiny LCD will not work with XP on A305-S6845

    C2D t8100, chipset intel, no normal fn keys FN + F5 doesn't seem to operate 'naturally', as do some others that I don't use, but the idea that I spent 8 hours to find all the xp drivers for this thing and can NOT dim my lcd...! ******ed...!!!

    The Toshiba REAL will raise your hand... Please?

    you KNOW millions are without downgrading from vista to xp, GIVE US THE DRIVERS...!

    I had to just to get the rest, scout intel boooted to viata while just to get the wifi, then start on xp, install the wifi, then had to get drivermax (amazing) to find all the drivers

    but no one knows where the FN drivers (no pun intended...)!

    None of the drivers Vista FN will get them to work with XP

    XP drivers for other models will not be installed on this model

    It comes from * ed

    1200 for a machine that cannot dim the lcd...!

    It is unlinke toshiba, how long could possibly take something for xp on to the A305 recompile!

    If someone has an A305 with c2d, get drivermax, they have now all other drivers of my job of paving 99.999% perfect...

    I will also publish on 4shared.com in a massive zip...

    Ok

    Send me a fix...!

    (too late for a refund...!)

    TOSHIBA! everything I own is TOSHIBA... !!! three laptops from toshiba... just give my xp for my A305 drivers...!

    If you come from the United States, I'm afraid, you're on the wrong place. Try to post the same thing on http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=ws-laptop&redirCnt=1 it's US forum.

    Here are mostly from Europe and Toshiba Europe has nothing to do with Toshiba WE. The company, but may be different marketing strategy and support.
    Maybe you'll find people with the same opinion.

    > 1200 for a machine that cannot dim the lcd...!
    I take you seriously with your opinion, but after reading this, I think that this comment has nothing to do with reality. Recovery of installation image and you'll have the complete functionality for laptop. You have the stick of Windows Vista on your laptop?

  • When I first installed the new 5.1 icloud, OUTLOOK 2016 worked well. Updated windows 10 and know icloud will not work. ICloud show that it works.

    When I first installed the new 5.1 icloud, OUTLOOK 2016 worked well. Updated windows 10 and know icloud will not work. ICloud show that it works. Have reinstalled icloud a lot of time and know that the add-in does not show up in OUTLOOK.  Help

    I was pulling my hair re the incompatibility of iCloud and Outlook of Office 365 2016.  I finally got things to work on three of my computers - which are on the latest version of Windows 10.

    The steps that worked for me:

    (1) uninstall the plugin iCloud (what version you have); the uninstall may fail but if so don't worry as step 3 below overlays some iCloud plugin version you have installed

    (2) open the Control Panel, uninstall, change/repair Office 365; Select fast repair

    (3) reinstall iCloud plugin (version 5.1), then restart the system by following the instructions

    (4) after the reboot, plug in iCloud application Apple ID and password; Make sure that you enter your apple with the suffix icloud.com ID (e.g., [email protected])

    (5) check the iCloud options to your will (e.g., photo synch, synchronization of bookmarks, sync mail/calendar, etc.)

    (6) check apply it, leave the work plugin iCloud for a minute, when he finishes, check the closing

    (7) open Outlook 2016 and check your calendar or contacts or anything that you indicated in step 5, that you want to synchronize with iCloud.com

    I hope it works for you!

  • I followed instructions tp uninstall IE 10 and internet now will not work. How to return to IE 9?

    I followed instructions tp uninstall IE 10 and internet now will not work.  How to return to IE 9?

    I followed instructions tp uninstall IE 10 and internet now will not work.  How to return to IE 9?

    Hello
    What I summarize your question is: you have installed IE 10 and you want to restore to IE 9.
    Since you are using IE 9 and 10 of IE, I can assume that you use Windows Vista or Windows 7.
    To restore IE 9 return, you must follow these steps:
    1 - click Start  
    2 - Goto Control Panel
    3 - find Windows Update, click
    4 in the lower left corner you can see the updates installed, click
    5 - search for Windows Internet Explorer 10
    6. right-click on it and select Uninstall
    7. you're done here,  a system reboot may be necessary.
    Hope this helps, let me know if the problem persists.
  • When I open Roxio it changes the screen resolution of 256 colors at a very low resolution b and the program will not work.

    My Roxio VHS TO DVD movie editing program has worked on my laptop Toshiba Windows 7 system before I reformatted.  Now when I open Roxio it changes the screen resolution of 256 colors at a very low resolution b and the program will not work.  When I close the program Roxio the resolution of the screen reverts back to 256 colors.  Control of program compatibility tells that it's incompatible, but the program worked on my system before I reformatted.

    Check this location of registry for Upper and Lower filters...

    They will appear on the right after clicking on the location of Reg...

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\ {4d36e965-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

    Remove all entries found perhaps restore your disk, but can also cause something to stop working...

    Maybe you can identify the program causing the problem with the name of the filter and update...

    An example of this is iTunes... It uses a "GEAR" driver that can cause problems...

  • File commands and the keyboard does not work in Illustrator CC.

    I have huge problems with Illustrator CC. Open it and paste commands work one or two times and then nothing. Unless I quickly program, they will not work. I've tried everything. I took drastic measures today and erased the hard drive and ANY new charge. And I mean everything. I even tested Illustrator without activation of fonts to see if there was a conflict of policies. Nothing. I'm done. I've tried everything. Does anyone else have this problem? I need help...


    Nicholas

    I found the issue! If I have the view in the open dialogue / place Illustrator to display column and sort by date, I get the problem. If I change to view by name, or list view, then I don't get any problems. As you say this isn't a bug in the CC but only CC 2014. His are obviously not happy with integration with views of Yosemite 10.10.1 by date.

    In any case, we visualize name now and do not have the problem. I always hope addresses Adobe that this is clearly a bug.

    I hope it solves your problem.

  • "Heroes of Might and Magic V" will not work

    Hello, I have recently updated to Windows XP SP3 to Windows 7 and now my game "Heroes of Might and Magic V" (by Ubisoft) will not work. It worked fine in Windows XP, but now when I try to start the game, I get an error message saying that the program has encountered a problem and needs to close. Why does not the game works? I tried to run in Compatibility Mode, but nothing helped. Nothing about what Windows 7 tent will not work. I ran the program compatibility problems and may not solve my problem. Please help me.

    Necropaxx,
    For any software that you plan to install with Windows 7, you can check the compatibility here: Windows 7 Compatibility Center

    It seems that Heroes of Might and Magic V is always tested with the proponent to ensure compatibility.  You can try running it in compatibility mode.  This link will give instructions about this:make programs run on Windows 7

  • Moving project between first CS5 and CS5.5 will not work... Help!

    If all goes well installed CS5.5 sparer dir and tried to import the CS5 project. Well he opened very fast but then he had trouble scouring the project. It seems that CS5.5 dislike some mov files. Maybe som codec problems? The windows monitor will be freezes or the display of 'media pending' forever. On some files mov, *.avi and SB it will allow scrubbing... but very slow. Rendering will not work either when it comes to some problem files, it will stop making and ending with the creation of crash. I tried to create a new empty project to 5.5 and just imported these "problem files", but then it works very well with the washing and rendering. There is no open problem the project in CS5.03, everything works perfectly there. So what I did? Yes, I backed up my c: drive and formatted, it... 28 hours later I installed everything nice and fresh with only the CS5.5 version on my drive. That worked better? N° !!! the same problem. After another 15 hours of trial and error, I got my "blessed of God" has registered C:disk. As far as I understand that this problem seems to be a problem with 5.5 and not my setup of the computer with codecs etc.? If there is someone out there who can help me?

  • Question of Command and Conquer Generals - administrator

    I have a question concerning the operation of the generals. (Which worked well since last year) now, apparently, it wouldn't run without administrator priviliages. Even if I start the game by clicking on "Run as Administrator", the game will not start at all. (no loading screens, etc.)

    Even after a fresh reinstall of the game and then run the game as administrator, he refuses.

    I am not sure, but the esp (if it needs a CD instead of run) looks like maybe this problem - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-gaming/kb3086255-is-this-a-half-baked-solution-or-am-i/13d4c03e-f04f-40b9-b438-e903eda3cab9 but for a different game.

    If Yes, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3086255 for more details.

    If not, it may be a compatibility issue. See if install and run the game in Administrator and XP - SP3 mode (or any Windows operating system, the game was originally scheduled for) who could help him. But it won't be if the above is the problem. Details here - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/316-compatibility-mode.html
