• Error loading dll32, and Windows cannot run updates__

  Message appeared since March 2009, which is the last time that Windows was able to perform an update. I think you would have to do with the other (?).  I watched "uninstall programs", but I do not know which program is causing the problem.  They look all important. Also tried the suggested "start-programs-accessories-run-msconfig-startup" but absolutely nothing happened.  I read somewhere to "restore internet options by default ', and I don't know if that did anything.  Dll32 error always appears when I start my computer and I also have the message "Windows cannot perform updates". It's very frustrating (since my husband is a man 'computer' and said that it cannot solve the problem).

• Error: "Windows cannot install to the selected location. Error: 0 x 80300001. »

  When I try to install Windows 7 on my Toshiba computer formatted I get this error message after trying to install the RAID driver during the installation process:

  "Windows cannot install to the selected location. "Error: 0 x 80300001.

  I'm unable to proceed with the installation. Can someone please?

  Hi Jon,

  This error can occur during a clean Windows 7 install the operating system installation media is not in the drive. This happens usually when a user is necessary for the exchange of discs in order to install the necessary drivers on the system and the operating system disks were not placed in the drive before proceeding with the installation.

  The error would not occur if the Setup program has been started using a USB key as stable media would not be switched.
   
  The solution would be to change the driver CD or DVD of Windows 7 install DVD media when this happens, then we can continue with the installation of Windows 7. In this particular case, it is likely that the RAID driver disk has been left in the drive.

  Note: This problem/error appeared less in Windows Vista since a message asking to specify the installation media usually as follows:

  "Please insert the disc 1 installation of Windows.

• Windows cannot open an epub file

  After I downloaded an .epub file, "we must know what program to use to open" Windows. I clicked on search the Web and Windows cannot find one.  Since I want to download to my player from my PC, I want to open and to save it to EPUB on my PC (which is the format supported by the reader).  How do I do that? There is a link to "fixed" to download, but they are sites that are unfamiliar to me.  They say that Windows supports the file, but the URL does not support this claim. I don't know if they are safe. Microsoft doesn't have an installer for my computer to do this?  Thank you!

  Why Microsoft would be a tool to allow you to read some third-party format they had nothing to do with the files? Heh

• My xp upgrade window window error 7 "Windows cannot be installed to this disk pahrd space.

  Edit: Switched from Windows XP to Windows 7.

  Hi, I'm installing ion window 7 my laptop which is a window XP, when I install on a partition, it says: Windows cannot be installed to this disk pahrd space. Windows must be installed on a partition formatted in NTFS. What does that mean?

  Hi Steven,

  Thanks for the details.

  The error message indicates that you need convert a Partition to the NTFS file system. Because Windows XP supports two disk file systems: the table of allocation of file (FAT) file system and the file system NTFS and Windows 7 supports NTFS only if you need to convert the partition to NTFS first to start the installation.

  You can take the help of the article next to use Convert.exe to convert a Partition to the NTFS file system, and then try to upgrade or install Windows 7.
