  This problem occurs because there is incorrect entries in the Shell folder of the user who is logged on to Microsoft Windows. When Windows Installer goes to the sale of Shell folder of the user who is logged on to the computer, Windows Installer cannot locate the correct entry. The solution is inhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549.

  The steps to correct this problem involve editing the Windows registry.  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk. I suggest that you first back up your registry as follows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-the-registry.

  Here are the steps to fix it.

  1. click on start, run, typeregedit in the Open box, and then click OK.

  2. look for the following registry key:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell dossiers\

  3 remove the entries that show the path that is listed in the error message.

  886549 KBhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549: Regedit open again. In the left pane, click User Shell Folders, point tonew, click expandable string value, type the value name that you want to restore (AppData) and then press ENTER. Right click on this value, clickchange, type the value in the value data for the value name box, and then clickOK. The value data must be: % USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming.

  Step 8 KB 886549 suggests that you also check the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders. However, by fixing my problem, I had not to change values in the registry key. If this does not work, follow ALL the steps in the referenced article.

  Try to use The Windows Installer Cleanup utility and see if it is able to remove your current version.  Alternatively, you can consult the Adobe removal instructions.

  I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium Service pack 2 32 bit
  I use Mcafee and installed and after reading just down to you ensure that I uninstalled and ran the cleaner program suggested and she has still not work, I reinstalled and not yet did not work so I've currently uninstalled again and the vacuum again 3 times
  I ran all the advice from the command prompt still does not work
  I tried to delete the registry entry suggested HKCU\SOFTWARE \Classes\CLSID\{B54F3741-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}, but he's not here to remove
  I ran this command suggested reg delete "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\ {B54F3741-5B07-11CF-A4B0-00AA004A55E8} and I think that maybe it wasn't a good idea but may not know whether it was or not.
  Then I read in this thread on Mcafee to a registry entry and redirecting somewhere it should not so I went to look at and that's what I found:
  HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ {B54F3741-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8} \InprocServer32 - default REGSZ C:\Program Files\Fichiers Files\McAfee\SystemCore\ScriptSn.20110417221023.dll
  and no I have not yet reinstalled McAfee and ran to the 3 times vacuum why is there always a register McAfee entry I followed the path C:\Program Files\Common Files\McAfee\SystemCore\ScriptSn.20110417221023.dll and guess what it's not exist, and yes I looked into the hidden files I even ran a search in all files and it is not anywhere
  I had already run the sfc/scannow once before I deleted the McAfee and it found corrupted files, but said they have been fixed as well, I ran again just to check and this time no errors

• Impossible to update error Windows could not search for new updates code: 8024A 000

  Original title: Windows does not run updates, error 8024A 000

  When I try to launch updated, I get the error msg could not windows search updates 8024A 000?

  Hello

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to reset the Windows Update components manually by following the steps in the section Let me fixit myself .

  Warning: the section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry .

  Method 2: Analysis of SFC (System File Checker)

  SFC scan will find all missing or incorrect system files and repairs them.

  See the following site:

  How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

• Fax and Scan Error - Message could not be sent. Media is write protected

  I have a PC with Windows Vista Ultimate on it.  Turns off user access control.  On the sign as Admin will have all the rights.

  Windows Fax and Scan works very well for a long time.  Had a modem comes to shove, he replaced everything works fine.

  In the last day or two - with no known changes to the system - the system is no longer send and receive faxes.

  It gives me an error-"message could not be sent.  the media is write protected. »

  This happens if I try to send a fax directly from the Windows fax software or if I try to "print" a document by fax.

  When you receive a fax - it gives a similar error.

  It works as records receive faxes are unalterable and, if I look at their properties in Explorer.  I try to uncheck Read-only and it acts like it works only when I get back - read-only is still selected.

  Other times I tried to make changes to access to the files by Windows Fax, fax settings - but it tells me that I have to be logged on as administrator to make these changes and I signed up as an administrator - the only Director on the PC.

  I also removed the Fax profile and recreated.  I think that the question is the property read-only on my directory of fax, but for some reason that seems locked on.

  I also shot the back, rebooted, turned off UAC back, rebooted and tried to change the settings of RO, no luck.

  Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Read-only for folders is normal (mine are).  See if this fix works for you:

  Fax Error: The message could not be sent. Media is write protected

  If the registry change is useful, please let us know.
