  Hi Quaker13,

  Thank you for using Microsoft Windows forum

  We have no information about compatibility. So, we will not be able to help a lot. When a game is not compatible or does not know compatibility then the program may or may not work on the operating system.

  See the link below that supports the theory

• Error code 0 x 643 trying to install KB2833941

  I've tried at least a dozen times to install the "update of security for the Microsoft.net Framework 1.1 SP1 on Windows XP (KB2833941) for a few weeks.  I get (error Code 0 x 643).  What should do?

  George

  Moved from feedback

  Original title: Error Code 0 x 643

  Impossible to download the file or get an error when trying to install?

  The solution is at the bottom of the page that gave you Bill Smithers. It involves the use of the .NET Framework cleanup tool.

  Here, I'll give it to you in a step by step easy procedure...

  First try this...
  Download and run the Microsoft .NET Framework repair tool , then visit Windows Update and let it try to reinstall updates. Once it's done, scan again with Windows Update to ensure that they properly installed.

  If this does not fix it try this...

  Uninstall the .NET Framework 1.1. Then download the .NET Framework Cleanup Tool
  In the drop-down list box, select 1.1 and clean.
  Reinstall .NET Framework 1.1
  Download and install. NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1
  Visit Windows Update or Microsoft Update and let it install the rest of the 1.1 updates, including KB2833941.

  I would like to know what method worked for you.

  Hello

  1. is that the copy of windows is enabled?

  2 is the issue limited to the installation of a security update Cumulative for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista (KB2699988)?

  I suggest to perform the steps in the following article and check.

  Method 1: run the Windows update troubleshooting tool and check.

  The problem with Microsoft Windows Update is not working http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_update/

  Method 2: I suggest you to put the computer in a clean boot state and check if Windows update installs successfully.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows vista by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

• I get error Code 80070002 when I try to install Service Pack 1.

  Vista will not be updated to the Service Pack 1 or 2

  I have Vista and have windows automatically updates.  Of course, it is never updated with the Service Pack 1 or 2, and when I go to Windows updates, it says I have no updates available.  Recently I had trouble with my anti-virus software, and they said it was because my computer has not been updated.  I didn't know that I was not common.   However, I get error Code 80070002 when I try to install Service Pack 1, so SP2 cannot be downloaded until I get this one.  I tried everything I could find as an aid, but they were especially when people had problems years ago, when it came out.  What can I do?

  Hi kimber222,

  If these steps are not successful, the next step is and InPlace upgrade. This process is an alternative to reinstalling the operating system. During the process, some of your custom Windows settings may be lost.

  Run a repair installation will restore your current install of Windows to the version of the installtion CD/DVD. You will have to reinstall all the updates that are not included on the CD/DVD.

  Although this process should not damage files and the applications installed on your computer, it is always safe to make sure that you have a recent backup of your data and how to reinstall all software you have installed.

  Fill out the next step for the InPlace upgrade:

  1. Close all open applications.
  2. Insert the Windows Vista CD/DVD intot he computers CD/DVD drive.
  3. In the windows installation program, click install now.

  Note If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:

  Click on start and type Drive: \setup.exein the box to start the search.

  Note The placeholder drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD.

  List programs, click Setup.exe.

  In the settings window, click install now.

  1. click on connect to get the latest updates for installation (recommended).

  2. type the CD key if you are prompted to do so.

  3. Select the operating system in the "Windows Installer" page you want to update or Inplace.

  4. click Yesto accept the Microsoft software license agreement.

  5. on the which type of installation you want? of the screen, click upgrade.

  6. when the installation is complete, restart your computer.
