• I bought a game and I need visual c ++, I don't know which of them I need

  I bought a game and I need visual c ++, I don't know which of them I need because I tried to install many of them, but he repeated to me that it is not possible.

  I really need your help because the game was very broad, and still I don't know whick one I need.

  Thank you and sorry because my English is not so good.

  Original title: microsoft visual c ++

  - "I tried to install many of them, but he repeated to me that it is not possible."

  You are logged on as administrator, and have you tried to disable your anti-virus or UAC temporarily when trying to install C++?

  -As you have discovered, there are many versions of C++ (I have 20 on Win7 64 bit).

  However, C++ error messages normally specify what version is necessary and the most recent

  Games will automatically install the version of C++ required by the game.

  -If the game is not to install C++ you will find that it uses on the game disc.

  Just 'Open ' the drive and search for a C++ Installer (.exe) files and install C++ directly

  starting from there.

  -Have you installed all the 'important' Windows updates (do not install the 'optional' update

  for graphics drivers)?

  -Have you updated .NET Framework to version 4.5?

  Download Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 of the official Microsoft Download Center

  If the game is a recent version, it may require C++ 2010 or 2010.

  -You probably have these already, but just in case where -

  Download: Details Package redistributable Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (x 64) - Microsoft Download Center - Download

  Download: Details Package redistributable Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (x 86) - Microsoft Download Center - Download

  -There are also three versions of C ++ 2012, but mine have been installed automatically. I'm not sure,

  But if they were not installed by games, then maybe Windows updates install C ++ 2012?

  -What games are you trying to install? Is this a diskette the retail version, steam or to download other

  version (specify what 'other')?

  And what graphics card your machine uses?

• How do I know which programs to take off the windows Installer CleanUp list?

  Windows Installer Cleanup of

  * original title - how do I know which programs to take off the windows Installer CleanUp list? I don't want to uninstall or remove a program that I always use currently__ *.

  Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301 (MS Office only - replaced by the 'Fix It' utility)
  (Note: the Windows CleanUp utility has been replaced by the "Fit It":http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/ )

  The Windows Installer Cleanup utility:
  It was created to correct software installations that failed during the installation process and leaving a bunch of files (including a file name that ends with an extension .msi (= MicroSoft Installer .msi). For example an installation failed MS Office (note I said "failed").
  See: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA011185721033.aspx

  Also if when you installed MS Office you decided at the time you had no need of Power Point and chose not to install it. You find out later you need to make a Power Point presentation, insert the Office CD and try installing PowerPoint and it causes an error.

  The tool using Windows Installer Cleanup will remove damaged installation files (located in C:\Windows\Installer). You then install Office and Power Point, once more, as they are not more present in the list of programs in the Add/Remove Control Panel. But at least this time Office and Power Point will install without errors as the Windows Installer Cleanup utility did what it was designed to do.

  The unfortunate side effect of the cleanup tool is when you select and delete software that works correctly you then will no longer be able to install this software because it is no longer in the Add/Remove Programs list.

  Now as to why there is so many files in the C:\Windows\Installer:
  You will find lots of them. MSI files belong to software such as Java, Microsoft .NET Framework software AV, Norton Ghost, file downloaded during a Windows Update session and so on. It would seem that some software will clean up after itself and deletions, this is the file that were in the folder C:\Windows\Installer. Windows Update failure will create and leave the folders and files behind every time that you try to install the update and so you could end up with a large number of files taking up disk space.

  It could also be a lot of files (is most needed) orphans.
  If you still have the original Windows Installer Cleanup utility, and then by using the msizap (msizap g!) command removes all cached Windows Installer data files that have been orphaned.

• Two copies of windows vista to startup.

  I have two copies of windows vista to startup. How can I remove one of the copies?

  1. Close all running programs and open the windows if you are back on the desktop.
  2. Click on the Start () button.
  3. In the search box of the Start Menu () type msconfig and press enter on your keyboard.
  4. The System Configuration utility opens
  5. Click the Startup tab.
  6. You will now be on the screen start as shown below options.

     

  Click on the Vista boot entry you don't want > delete it.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  To solve your problem correctly, reinstall Vista using a custom Setup to remove whatever you already have installed versions of Vista:

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• don't know which hard drive to buy.

  I need to buy a new hard drive for my HP pavilion G62 series laptop! I know it must be a SATA 2.5 but I'm not sure one to buy! CAB someone suggest a HDD to get and which is compatible with my computer? Thanks in advance

  Tiffany

  Hey, Tiffany:

  You can buy any disk SATA II 2.5 "laptop hard for your laptop should not exceed 750 GB.

  You have two other options... a drive of 7 200 rpm or a disk of 5 400 rpm.

  Choose a drive of 7 200 rpm for optimum performance.

  Choose a disk of 5 400 rpm for longer battery life between charges.

  You didn't say what size drive came with your PC, so I don't know what you are looking to buy the size.

  Here are these two models for your comment...

  7 200 RPM, 320 GB

  5 400 RPM, 500 GB

• Need to buy a new battery for a satellite A100 - don't know which!

  Hello

  My Satellite A100 laptop battery is dead... He has for the last year showed signs of life slowly reduce.
  But I can't for the life of understand me which battery to buy on the section of devices of websites of Toshiba under Power Options.
  All Advisor, welcome.

  Also my laptop has started to become extraordinarily hot - who would have something to do with the life of the battery is reduced?

  Concerning
  RAM

  You can find the model number of your battery and buy the same model. My Toshiba A100-383 battery has this model number: PA3399U-2BRS, I don't know if yours has this number too.

  The heat is a big problem for Li - ion batteries. In any case, you should check if your laptop temperature is abnormal (maybe a fan does not work or it is dirty) because it can affect other components.

• Computer shows 84 programs running, don't know which can be closed

  I have but.dont running 84 programs know which ones to stop.also approximately 20 to start

  What I suggest, gives you access to a program that can potentially harm your PC if you are not aware of what you are doing. Don't try if you are not sure that you understand.

  Hold the Windows key and press R (Windows key + R)
  A 'Run' dialog box should appear. It contains, type "msconfig".
  a "System Configuration" window should appear.
  Go to the "Startup" tab and you can uncheck programs that you no longer want to start with your PC. Note that this list only shows no essential program for Windows, but other things, such as programs to your printer or other hardware devices, can be listed and necessary. Some examples of programs to uncheck are Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager, Google Talk, Google Update, Java (TM), Skype, etc.

  Once you have disabled the programs you don't need, you can go to the Services tab.

  Note that the tab Services DO list the required programs for Windows to run properly.
  You can help avoid this danger by checking the box "hide all Microsoft services".
  After having done that, you can uncheck things such as Google Update, NVIDIA, Steam Client Service and much more.

  Also note that your Antivirus service is listed, and may also have a program listed as a so startup program. Be careful! And yet once, don't try if you are unsure about this task.

• I don't have a 93 years old goat needs to answer. I want to buy an external dvd drive, but don't know which is compatible with Windows XP, any help would be appreciated

  Hello

  Most of the USB 2.0 DVD burners will be compatible XP (be sure to get a burner so you can make CD
  and DVDs and not just play).

  A very good source of information would be supported by the manufacturer of your system and their forums (if any).

  Another good source would be your local computer store or even a major retailer like Best Buy
  or the FRY.

  This is good, but there are many good brands.

• Don't know which to buy MS Win 7 OS

  Dear MS community

  I'm in a dilemma in which offer choice, should I choose to buy to upgrade multiple PCs and laptops, I sat in my house.

  They are some XPs which are ready to start at level I feel confident to do a service, but language what I need is beyond what I understand completely.

  Like; Refurbished, OEI, Hologramm and OEM, it looks like everything I can find.

  If I can just get info that I can use it on one or more, that would be good and what I really want to find.

  Yes, I would like to get the CD or key / both as cheap as possible to the practice of upgrading the towers and laptops I have.

  I'm in the right place to ask for advice.

  I surely hope so.

  First of all, you will not be able to obtain a license that allows several facilities. If you can find a copy of the Windows 7 Home Premium Family Upgrade for 3 PCs, then you would be lucky.

  Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

  You mentioned several channels of license:

  Renovated - for old computers, comes with a type of license OEM which is related to this machine.

  OEI - also another type of OEM license.

  OEM - can be licensed manufacturer pre-installed or system.

  Hologram - technology used to identify genuine Microsoft products.

  OEM System Builder version:

  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

  There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

  You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

  There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

  I've updated, and now I can no longer show all files on the web without having to download everything first. It's very frustrating. want to go back to the way it was, but don't know how.

  You shouldn't need both Acrobat and Reader. That said, I suggest trying to open Acrobat and help > repair. Also check the plugins or addons to your browser.

• Don't know password for the new installation of Windows 7 Ultimate on VmWare Fusion

  I bought Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and installed on my MAC OS X machine in VmWare Fusion of an image file provided by the seller of Windows 7.  However, when I start the merger, there is a 'user' set up account, and it asks for a password. Typing in anything doesn't work, or 'guest', 'user' or 'password '.  So I can't past the login screen.

  What can I do?

  That was my mistake, and I 'found' the password trying my MAC password.  This was extracted automatically, or if I entered during installation without remembering, I don't know.  In all cases, it is resolved.

  I can't mark my own reply as 'Reply', nor can I delete this question :-(
