Yes, you are. According to the website of Windows Vista compatibility, only versions of encarta from after 2005 work with Vista.

  • Error - Windows cannot open this file when trying to install Microsoft Gadgets.

    Original title: how to install gadget from Microsoft.

    I down loaded the gadgets and themes, when I go to install, Windows cannot open this file. If I get them from microsoft, it seems that windows can open.

    Hi mikemontgomery,

    If you use windows XP, it is not possible to install Microsoft Gadgets on it. Microsoft Gadgets are optimized for Windows Vista and Windows 7 only.

    However, you can use your favorite search engine to download third-party gadgets which can serve the purpose.

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • Tried to install a printer in windows 7 using a vista driver. Now, I get an error 0 x 00000002.

    The problem occurred when trying to install a network printer on my laptop that is running Windows 7.  Now, when I select the printer in the menu "add a printer" and press "Next", I get 'Unable to connect to the printer' & 'the operation failed with error 0x00000002 ".
    The printer is a network printer, connected to my desktop running Vista.  In addition, it is a Brother MFC-8300.
    I can install the printer when it is connected directly to my laptop, but when I try to add it as a network printer, I have the problem that I have just described.  I should mention that I had to install a special version of the driver ("Brother MFC-8300 v.2") on my desk to solve another problem, I had with another computer on the network, which was running Vista-64 (see http://www.vistax64.com/vista-print-fax-scan/77226-brother-mfc-8300-printing-blank-pages.html).
    So basically this is what happens:
    (1) I click on 'add printer '.
    (2) I click on 'Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer.'
    (3) I select ' Brother MFC-8300 v.2 on VISTAMACHINE ' and click 'next '.
    (4) a "Windows printer Installation" window appears and says "connection to Brother MFC-8300 v.2 on."
    VISTAMACHINE"and underneath"seeks pilot."
    (5) a "Add a printer" window appears with an "X" inside a red circle next to the mention 'to connect to the printer.
    "Windows cannot connect to the printer", and "Operation failed with error 0x00000002".
    Does anyone know what I need to do?

    Create two printers on the computer, the device sharing.  Make a word share name, do not use the name of the driver for sharing.  Spaces in the name to make it even more difficult when you set a SMB (local port) connection to the printer.  Set the Port for two printers shared the same (I assume that the device is connected to a USB Port).

    Use the driver Vista Inbox for the part for 32-bit machines.  Use the driver provided Brother (Brother MFC-8300 v.2) share for 64-bit machines.

    a - open programs and features by clicking on the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking programs, and then clicking programs and features.

    b - search application for Microsoft office XP if installed, and then click Uninstall. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    net start cryptsvc

    Step 3: Rename the folder "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution".

    Ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

    Step 4: Save the files used by Windows Update and Microsoft Update.

    At the command prompt, type the following commands, press ENTER after each command, and then click OK every time that you receive a verification message:

    regsvr32 wups2.dll

    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wups.dll

    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuwebv.dll

    Step 5: Start the service of Windows updates, Background Intelligent Transfer and the event log service.

    At the command prompt, type the following commands and press ENTER after each command:

    net start bits

    net start wuauserv

    net start Eventlog

    take the exit.

    Please try to download and install the updates using windows update. (Be sure to restart the computer if updates need to reboot before installing).

    As the software: the site says it's only compatible with "Windows 2000 and XP" I'd take the Windows for her - word software is too old to install under Vista. Download an updated version instead.
