  • I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA AND THE SIMS 2 ON MY COMPUTER BUT I TRIED TO INSTALL THE SIMS 3 BUT NOTHING HAPPENED! (CAN YOU BE RETURNED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!)

    I INSTALLED THE SIMS 2 DELUX, SIMS 3 PETS AND SIMS 2 APARTMENT LIFE. I GOT SIMS 3 PUT HIM IN THE HARDRIVE HE RAN, BUT THE MESSAGE GAME NEVER TO SAY IF I WANT TO RUN IT HELP! PLEASE

    P.S. I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA

    THANKS X

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

    Well first thing to note - if you have Windows Vista, it is a forum for Windows 7, then you might have more luck in the Vista forum.  But second, you noted that you have installed the SIMS 2 Deluxe and the Sims 2 Apartment life and the SIMS 3 pets.  There are no SIMS 3 pets yet (only SIMS 2 Pets).  So who could have thrown people.

    So now REALLY tell you putting a SIMS 3 disc in?  If so, you must install the program first and sometimes automatic execution does.  You can, however, open a Windows Explorer (press the Windows key, key with the Windows Logo on it, down and self-tapping letter E - keep the E or you'll have a whole bunch of windows to the top).

    Then go to your CD/DVD drive and double-click it.  It can start the car then run.  If not, then you can right click on the drive icon and select EXPLORER and then find the file named SETUP.  If you don't see what he, or see the files, then make sure you have a valid PC version of the game and do not have a MAC version (my kids have committed this error several times while getting the library software).

    See if none of this helps and then after return. Bob Larson Access MVP

    1 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    2 - is the full version of the Sims 3 game?

    Sorry to hear that.

    Third party or the corruption of the Sims software programs are some of the reasons for which you get the error SetupNewsetup.cpp (140).

    I suggest you to reinstall the software to the clean boot and check if the problem persists.

    Step 1: Clean boot

    When the computer starts to boot, programs non-Microsoft will not be started and would avoid any interruption of their share.

    Check out the link:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 3 of section to set your computer to normal startup.

    Note: If in case, you are connected via a connection wireless, and then when you start the System Configuration utility to perform the clean boot, click Startup and Services tab one time and check wireless see corresponding section are checked (enabled).

    Step 2: Uninstall the software

    Uninstall or change a program

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/uninstall-or-change-a-program

    Step 3: Reinstall the software

    If the problem persists, then I suggest allows you to get assistance to the Sims 3 technical support site.

    I hope this helps. If the problem persists, return and I will be happy to help you.

    Hi kitkatz155,

    You can try to start the computer in a clean boot state, try to install the game and check if this solves the problem.

    Start your computer in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    See How to solve a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Hope this information helps.

  • Firefox has becomes slow and unresponsive after that I tried to install the addons (not installed)?

    I recently format my computer and reinstall windows 7, since it was the only way I know of to solve the problem with Firefox (I already had this problem too). I download the latest version of firefox 33.0.2 and install it. This version was super fast. But becomes slow and unresponsive when I tried to install the Add-ons. I visited the official site of firefox and searching for addons, when I tried to install addons, Firefox crashed. Therefore, it has becomes quite slow and cannot restore previous sessions. Even to type my email address, it takes more than 5 minutes and reacts more frequently (after typing each letter).
    I want to know if this is due to some viruses, or this version of firefox is not "stable".

    Hey there,

    We are sorry to hear that Firefox crashes. To better help you, please follow the steps below to provide us with crash IDs to help us learn more about your accident.

    1. Enter Subject: hangs in the Firefox address bar and press ENTER. A list of submitted Crash reports will appear, similar to the one shown below.
    2. Copy the 5 most recent report ID begins with bp - and then back to your forum question but that stick in the box of "Post a response. (Please do not take a screenshot of your plant, just copy and paste the ID image below is just an example of what your Firefox screen should look like)

    Once you have done so, you could try the Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    I hope this helps!

  • I tried to install the beta version of Firefox 11, after installing it says restart, well I reboot and it keeps asking me to reboot? then I completely remove Firefox and he always asks me to reboot? any help

    I tried to install the new beta of Firefox 11, when it was finished, he said that I had to reboot, so I rebooted and it asked me to restart again and again and again! then I deleted Firefox thinking I'll start with a blank slate, although he always asks me to restart any help?

    You can try to reboot after deleting the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) folder.

    The beta version can be installed in a different program folder, you may need to check this.

  • I keep trying to install the latest version of firefox and it does not work

    I am running firefox 3.something, I think, and I keep trying to install the latest version on my mac. I have through save, open, drag the icon to my apps file... and when I drag my apps file, it takes a few seconds to do * something *, pings to me and then nothing after that. I try to open it and it tells me that I have to close firefox first, so I didn't (restart even) and when it opens again it still opens to the old version.

    Looks like you are trying to install the latest version by downloading it from the Mozilla site. What happens if you try and install by choosing Firefox > Firefox in the Menu bar? Yet you say that Firefox is not updated?

    Also, have you tried to uninstall Firefox using CleanMyMac or AppCleaner, for example and then install again? Please do not do this until you are satisfied you have saved all the information that you want to keep, first (passwords, etc.).
