Free extractor error - could not read the news SFX

I hope I am in the right forum!

I am downloading Gamblock on my laptop, but when I run the file and try to check out I get the error "FreeExtractor error - an error prevents this program to continue - could not read the news SFX - it is probably corrupted.

GamBlock are several that this isn't a problem with the link, and to be honest I have not had problem with it in the past. I am at my wits end with it but now and wonder what it is that it blocks and think it must have something to do with the system in some way.

The laptop is brand new

Any help would be great!

Hello les150,

I suggest that you run the System File Checker to see if you have corrupted system files.

First of all, we run System File Checker to see if you have a corrupt file system.

Click Start
Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
Click on "Run as Administrator"
At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

Restart your system

Now run the command chkdsk:
1 disable any security software before you attempt to upgrade or do a clean install.
2. make sure that your computer is updated (devices and applications)
3. disconnect all external devices before installing.
4. check your hard disk for errors:
Click Start
Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
Click on "Run as Administrator"
At the command prompt, type: chkdsk /f /r
When you restart your system, your computer will be scanned for errors and will try to correct them.

If please reply back and let us know if this helped with your question.

Sincerely,

  • Dual Boot with windows XP Pro with 2 HARD drive, error on secondary windows install: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware... »

    Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)

    Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.

    My Boot.ini file at this time was:

    [boot loader]
    Timeout = 5
    default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
    "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

    I looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477

    (The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)

    I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.

    He gave me something like:

    [boot loader]
    Timeout = 5
    default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
    [operating systems]
    "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
    "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

    I also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).

    I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".

    I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.

    I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.

    I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...

    My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?

    Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx

    Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...

    Someone has an idea?

    PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!

    Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.

    Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...

    In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).

    In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html

    (except I've had the first installation already done).

    Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.

    EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!

  • How can I fix this "Setup was unable to find (or could not read) the language specific setup resource dll, unable to continue." Error if please restart and try again. » ?

    I'm trying to install Microsoft FreeLancer on Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition (according to WinVer: Version 6.1, build 6701, Service Pack 1).

    After inserting the DVD in the drive and run "Setup.exe", I am invited by the UAC to elevate permissions - who I am agreement - then the following error message appears: "Setup was unable to find (or could not read) the language specific setup resource dll, unable to continue." If please restart and try again. »

    The only valid technote, I found the issue was http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258496. The below is the list of the things that I tried after reading this technote - but no avail.

    • Of course, I tried to restart.
    • I checked the DVD is in good condition, even with regard to the attempts to install from the disc to a friend and even went up to compare the MD5 of all files on two DVDs, the checksums match.
    • I tried using the compatibility mode for XP, although according to the report of another user on the statements of the Windows Compatibility Center that this should not be necessary.
    • I ran a full "chkdsk" (i.e. one scheduled for after a reboot, rebooted) and chkdsk reported no error.
    • I deleted all files "di - use ' %TEMP%, immediately after the restart and before you run setup.exe.
    • I've looked at this the EMET tool had an exemption for 'setup.exe' and my tool anti-virus was disabled before installation.

    Everything I try seems to have no effect on the resolution of this problem.

    Can anyone suggest any possible causes of--and, ideally, solutions to-this issue?

    Hi Branden,

    It is quite possible that the CD you are trying to use is corrupted. Wipe the disc with a clean cloth.

    In addition, it may be due to the fact that you are using a CD to upgrade and you are trying to do a clean install.

    ·         You have an earlier version of Windows CD?

    If so, you need to first install the previous version and then upgrade to Windows XP.

  • Satellite U405 - S2833 Fingerprint error: could not open the sensor

    Hello, I am very new to the forums so I apologize in advance if I don't give all the necessary accurate information in this thread.

    I have a Toshiba U405-S2833 and it came with the TrueSuite Access Fingerprint Software.

    I downloaded an update a few days ago, but I don't remember if it's for Vista or Toshiba. Since then, my fingerprints were all removed from the system, and when I try re - save, I get this error message "error: could not open the sensor" I can't find the material to fix the sensor manually without going through the TrueSuite software.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    I am also having the same problem.

    My boss uses a Satellite U405-2628 fingerprinting and with the sensor TrueSuite Access Manager. It worked fine, then I updated windows and it has stopped working. I was on the updates and noticed an update of TrueSuite and thought that maybe that was messed up things.

    Then there were other issues that went past me locked out of the machine (anti-virus and loss of relationship with the field... also my fault). So I decided to wipe the machine and install fresh Vista.

    I installed everything but the TrueSuite software still not able to open the sensor. After hitting my head on it, I decided enough was enough and I restored it using Toshiba recovery disks.

    It took a few hours and here I am logged in as administrator and the TrueSuite software still cannot open the sensor. I don't know what I can do, since it is to return to the factory settings.

    As the above poster said, HELP!

    Thank you.

    ... a little later...

    Well, I managed to do work, and this can be useful for some people out there since I found no easy answers. I can't guarantee anything, and it's really complicated... so here go us.

    First, I downloaded the latest update from Toshiba (util_fingerprint_27460A.exe) and nothing has worked.
    Then I uninstalled the sensor since (click right, uninstalled) Device Manager to uninstall the driver as well (it should invite you to do so)
    Then, still in the Device Manager, I scanned for new hardware and it came with my sensor. I said to look for drivers and when he could not find, I think it gave me an option for windows search for an answer... or something like that. He came back with a link to Authentec (www.authentec.com/win7update/w7wbf32.exe, I think). So I downloaded that and installed. He rose through the device under "Biometric devices" then before... I think it's under the "Personall security device" or something like that. But alas, still no luck. So I uninstalled all the device from the Device Manager (taking care of uninstalling the driver as well) and of the TrueSuite software. Then came the break I was looking for.

    Online research I came across this page... http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?action=download&driverid=1194755. I had the chance before to DriverGuide.com so I thought what the heck. It is a driver of HP for the same sensor and it is dated 2006. So I downloaded and installed. Still nothing...

    Disgusted, I thought, well let's try to install util_fingerprint_27460A.exe on top of that. So I did, restarted and I couldn't believe my eyes when he said to connect and register fingerprints not seriously. And so I did. I hope this helps people, I don't really know how the sensor I so messed up, but I'm glad it worked.

    Yet one thing... and this may be important. When I took TrueSuite first after doing all this, he told me that the storage of fingerprints was full... or something in that sense. So I clicked the button remove all traces of fingers button and it I would like to register my fingerprints. I'm starting to wonder if that was all I had to do in the first place... Guess I'll never know.

    Good luck.

    When you click on the download link on GetFirefox.com, you should be asked if you want to run or save the file. If this situation occurs when you try to run the download, try instead to record and put the file on your desktop or in a similar place, where you are certain that you can find.
