• Age of Empires 3 does not start on a vista machine, get this error "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires III\d3dx9_25.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error."

  I'm trying to play age of Empires 3 on my computer running windows vista Home premium and the program does not start. I get the error message: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires III\d3dx9_25.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error." I tried many suggestions from Microsoft (resettlement program, reinstall in safe mode, update & reinstall the drivers for my video card, the compatibility issues with vista, updating and reinstalling directx 9.0 c, install vista service packs 1 & 2) but nothing has worked so far. I was able to play the game on the same computer with windows xp installed (it's a different hard drive that is not in the computer, and everything is the same) and it worked fine. My computer is old enough, but like I said the game worked before installing vista. ASUS A7N8x deluxe, AMD Athlon xp 3200 +, ATI radeon 9600, 2 GB OCZ ram that all suggestions are welcome.

  Hi Raygun55,

  Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  1 insert the disc 1 CD for one of the following games into the player from the computer:

  o Age of Empires III

  o Fable: The Lost Chapters

  2. click on start to reduce this includes this image and then click Documents.

  3. Locate, and then click computer.

  4. search and then click on the CD drive.

  5. Locate and then click the following folder:

  Note In this folder path, the CD player represents the drive letter of the CD drive.

  6 double-click on Apr2005_d3dx9_25_x86.cab, right click on d3dx9_25.dlland then click copy.

  In Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends, double click Aug2005_d3dx9_27_x64.cab right-click d3dx9_27.dlland then click copy.

  Note Use the Apr2005_d3dx9_25_x64.cab file for the x 64 version of the Windows operating system.

  7. find one or more of the following folders, depending on the games that are installed on the computer:

  Note In these folder paths, drive represents the letter of the drive where the game is installed.

  8. right click on the folder of the game which is the part that is installed on the computer, and then click Paste.

  Note If you have installed more than one game on the computer, repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other games.

When I interrupt the installation or turn off then turn on the computer, Setup resets to 44.3%. It feels like it will never finish the installation through this reason. Can you help me with this or is this a matter of Gamestop App support?

  Stop a download will often break the download, or it did when I was still using dial-up 56 k.
  The best way to get the successful download is to keep the machine running.
  I used to start the download before you go to bed and let it run overnight.
  Is there a particular reason, you must turn off your machine?
  It is also preferable to avoid making another on line jobs who can fly the download of the

• Error trying to open the .ogg files

  I try to open a file for editing .ogg, but I get the following error:

  

  I don't know if I am missing something from my installation, missing a general codec or what.

• IOM 11 GR 2 PS2: 404 error trying to open the task detail taskflow

  Hi all

  recently, I upgraded 11.1.2.0.13 IOM (BP13 11 GR 2) version for 11.1.2.2.1 a (11 GR 2 PS2 BP1).

  In the old environment, I have developed a composite SOA custom for the approval of the application, and he had a custom task detail taskflow we use for email notification.

  After IOM upgrade, custom composite SOA and custom Office retail taskflow work together, but try opening the datails of the IOM task waiting for approval, I get a 404 error.

  This is the link that returns the error: http://oimserver.mydomain.com:14000/workflow/ADFTaskForm/faces/adf.task-flow?_id=remote-taskdetails-tf&_document=WEB-INF%2Foracle%2Fiam%2Fui%2Fsoa%2Ftfs%2Fremote-taskdetails-tf.xml&bpmWorklistTaskId=c0aab8e4-24c5-43b7-97ca-19a2653c533e&bpmWorklistContext=babc9fd0-71f8-4541-909b-19885a438f4a%3B%3B4eH4AN8Pod7viyO7euAPQvopko8Bl31DbWG6HLgDDWDMVpZEYKT%2Fo85ng%2BR9vEVJh6O8c%2Fq2nCBfMuENE9%2B3Sh6GlSAxzakuICcbsLE3lWqh6wtm%2Bibn1EK%2FwJdkCeB%2FiPsycYYHhoxqpqtPSAhsLRiwMPcivmgg07BnmSVljkxXDuHRLv%2B6LBG9rnPBq3kG6%2B8pIQWGrwh%2FpEtuPDfKAjRUgXfqNtXUU0dbAlH%2BAC3RgrR1%2BjxreS%2BHrmI7z1m7&bpmBrowserWindowStatus=taskFlowReturn&bpmWorklistHttpPort=8001&bpmWorklistHttpsPort=0&bpmWorklistHostName=iamappmi-col05.sky.local&taskDetailsUri=% 2Fworkflow%2FADFTaskForm%2Ffaces%2Fadf.task-flow%3F & taskDetailsTfId = ApprovalTask_TaskFlow & taskDetailsTfDoc=WEB-INF%2FApprovalTask_TaskFlow.xml

• The user profile service has no connection could not load profile __User

  I use Windows 7 ultimate, I can't log on to the computer that shows me that "the user profile service has no connection. Unable to load the user profile.

  So how do I do?

  This error can usually be fixed by following the steps below. All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

  1 log on to a different user account with administrative privileges. If you neglected to make an account additional administrative steps 2-3. Otherwise, continue to step 4. See also General information on setting up the accounts of users at the end of this post.

  2 in Mode safe boot. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. That you will get to the menu on the right where you can use your arrow key to select Mode safe [Enter]. The built-in Administrator account is disabled by default in Windows 7. However, if no other administrative accounts exist on the system it can be activated. If this is the case, you will see an icon for the administrator on the homescreen mode without failure. Login to the administrator.

  3 If you don't see the icon for the administrator mode safe account, then the built-in Administrator account is always disabled so you will need to work more. If you have a Windows 7 DVD installation (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes [Enter]

  [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

  If you do not have an installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair the system Windows 7 (not a system recovery!) in the menu diagnosis. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode.  Or you can make a bootable DVD of Windows 7 repair of the file on this link:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2009/Windows-7-system-repair-discs/

  Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent asmuTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. If you create the bootable DVD in an older operating system, you need third-party burning like Nero, Roxio or free ImgBurn software to burn the .iso image image file, not in the form of data. Windows 7 can burn the .isos natively.

  Now, remove the rescue DVD you made, restart windows system and log into the built-in Administrator account, you enabled.

  4. try a system restore to when things worked. If you can log in to your user account, you are finished. Otherwise, continue to step 5.

  5. the critical files are under % systemdrive%\users\user-account\ntuser. The ntuser.dat file is actually a registry hive. Run Regedit high and select HKEY_USERS and "load hive" in the menu. Now, go to:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

  There is a line for each profile. If a profile is bad, check:

  (a) that the name of the key does not stop in ".bak" (remove .bak If it)
  (b) that the RefCount value is 0 (change it if it is different)
  (c) that the State value is 0 (change if different)

  Make the necessary changes, close Regedit and try to connect as this user.

  6. If that doesn't solve your profile, it is corrupt. When you do that, you should make a new Standard user account and copy your data to it. Do not delete the old account until you have recovered data you need!

  Once everything works, go to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
  When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

  NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

  Exit the command prompt.

  General recommendations for creating users in Windows 7

  You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. Like XP, Vista and all the other modern operating systems, Windows 7 is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

  In particular, you do not want account only one user with administrator privileges in Windows 7 because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult. It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but it can be more work you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

  The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

  If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

  Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
  Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

  Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).
