• Problem of modem A30-port could not be opened...

  Hi all
  I have a Satellite A30 here and I can't get the modem to work. I tried to uninstall the drivers and download and run the drivers from the toshiba web site. (mdm-sa30-xp-31116all5 - gb.zip)

  The modem gets versions and automatically installed by Win XP... (He uses the right drivers?)

  When I query the modem, I get the error message:
  "The port that the modem is attatched could not be opened. This could be the result of a hardware conflict. Check the Device Manager to verify that all devices are functional.

  It uses com 1 now it was com3 and com 1 was used next to him. Now he doesn't.

  I have not yet tried a hyperterminal test.

  I think that this problem is not too uncommon that I already found a few comments on various forums about this, but so far all troubleshooting tips didn't work.

  This laptop have nokia PC suite installed and has been set up to connect to the internet via GPRS via mobile before and probably using the mobile as a modem also... I think that might have something to do with my problem...

  All comments will be welcome

  Thanks in advance

  This is the full message:
  The port that the modem is attached could not be opened. This can be the result of a hardware conflict. Check the Device Manager to verify that all devices are functional.
  the pc is A10 satellite, modem v.92, no hardware conflicts in Device Manager.

  Try to remove the modem from Device Manager, and after new restart try to configure the modem again.
  I recommend also to remove the modem driver and then reinstall.

• Microsoft Silverlight will not - uninstall "patch package could not be opened" how to remove Silverlight?

  I worked the market for several weeks trying to remove my Microsoft Windows XP Edition edition family Version 2002 with Service pack 3 Microsoft Silverlight.  It can be removed with uninstalling the program because I gives me this Message: "this patch could not be opened.  "Verify that the patch package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows setup hotfix package.
  I searched on the net for solutions and came across one showing an email from Nancy to the * address email is removed from the privacy * that detailed instructions for removal which did not work.  The instructions were:

  Step 1: Run the correction tool = 1.  Download and extract the accessory Fix '.zip' of this mail on the desktop.  I can't find any site highlighted in this e-mail to download the zip fix attached to my office.

  There were 2 steps more sure I can't even if I can't download this fix zip business that does not exist.

  Every night when I turn on my desk, it shows updates that need to be downloaded when I turn if turned off, then after delayed my trip to the bed for an extra 5 or 10 minutes he informs me that there is no silverlight 2 updates that they were unable to use... which of course I know for months.

  I don't know how my office put a hand on one program that can be removed or updated, but all I want to do is get rid of it without having to replace my hard drive.

  I'd appreciate any help that you can provide, keeping in mind that I am NOT a GURU and as such have no idea of what a hotfix or a hotfix Package is and would like to have instructions to remove this Silverlight program so it will stop embarrassing me, but if you could provide the removal steps which are not difficult to follow It would certainly be useful.

  I'm trying to uninstall Microsoft Silverlight.

  The program itself shows is no longer in my program list, and when I visit the Silverlight Web site may not detect an existing version on my system. But when I try to download the latest version, that he says could not be installed because I need to remove the previous version first... I'm going in circles and get no where... I downloaded Revo Uninstaller Pro but it also had no effect... I'm stuck!

• Error "Installation package could not be opened" when tried to install Age of Empires 3

  Original title: installation package could not be opened

  Due to problems with Age of Empires 1, 2 and 3, I recently uninstalled using Advanced Uninstaller. I then reinstalled AOE 1 and 2 but when I tried to install AOE 3 I got the message "the installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it. \Age of Empires III.msi"

  I assumed that the installation disc (which must be loaded when reading) was struck and he was polite. The warning message still appears. I'm afraid I might have deleted something that I should not have when you uninstall the game. Any suggestions?

• Impossible to uninstall Adobe Reader 10.1.3. Error - the patch package could not be opened.

  Hello

  A Windows Installer patch (.msp file) is a file used to provide updates for Windows Installer applications. The fix is a stand-alone package that contains all the information needed to update the application.

  A hotfix package contains updates the actual application and describes which versions of the application can receive the fix.

  Method 1:

  See the article and try to run the Troubleshooter:

  Solve problems with programs that cannot be installed or uninstalled

• The file... could not be opened. 10.11.4

  Hello

  just upgraded to 10.11.4. Everything works fine, but I discovered that I can't open any of my PDF files more. The file ' and if ' could not be opened. I can open these files with any other PDF reader, but...

  I really really want to like iBooks but this app is such a huge disappointment, and this version is no different. Why did they not hire someone who likes with it don't. iBooks is just pathetic!

  Thomas

  BTW, when I edited the post, I had to reselect the community. Why? Apple Software Quality feels more and more Microsoftish.

  A brief update here. After a few days the problem corrected itself. I opened iBooks and have downloaded all of the PDF files.

  Why wouldn't he download Collections created on the iPad to Mac?
