I installed a directx redist installed on my desktop. all the help fund now has 46 updates

I did a restore and it's still there

Hi ibwebb,

1. from which site you download the package?

Looks like you have extracted the files from the redistributable directX on desktop.

I suggest that you remove all the files associated with directX redistributable package and then download and reinstall.

Make sure that you create a new folder and then extract them in the folder.

I hope this helps!

  • used to install FlipShare - tried almost all the answers!

    FlipShare will not install on my Windows Vista Home Premium SP2.  I've never had a problem installing things before or recently so of course I knew that the Flip to be the problem.  As almost expected, their tech support blamed others before them...

    I'm trying so nix on the possibilities.  I went to HP and done what they have proposed without success.  So here is my stop at Microsoft.

    Here's what I've done so far:

    • Ran as administrator
    • Tried to download the 4.5 installer - I tried three files and all said that they were not necessary.
    • UN - and re - Registered Windows Installer
    • Changed the installer to manual from automatic to manual and so on and so on (it is in automatic mode right now)
    • Ran in safe mode, the Setup program stops when I do, so the installation does not start even.
    • Run Setup with the Flip camera AND the upgrade of software off of the Flip tech site

    Right now I'm downloading all the videos on my computer because I can play mp4 files, but I want to use the dang software, given that I have seen my friend uses the other night for a show.

    Additional advice would be great please! I want just nix on any other possibilities and if none does not work so I can go back to flip technical support with ammunition more!

    edit: I also searched Windows Installer in my Start menu, and he has popped up: jre1.6.0_12, who has been "modified" on March 6, 2009.  I don't know more than that, of course, it was a year ago... but as I said I have a problem installing things since.  When I try to install it, it stops and says: this installation package could not be opened.  Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package.

    I would have no problem because... If I knew which product identifier key thingy I need to put in the box so I don't get charged for help...

    You will not be able to install whatever it is in Mode safe as the Windows Installer Service is not running in Mode safe (many Services do not work there either).  If the "Flippin" program uses the Windows Installer Service that could explain this problem?  Individual configurations which are contained and not dependent on Windows do not install install mode failure.

    Similarly jre1.6.0_12 is probably an install Java looking just threw up on you, it's nothing to do with Windows Installer.

    What have you done to try to repair Windows Installer with, I have none of these files listed in the file install Vista or Windows 7?  If you want to repair the operating system it might pay you to run the File Checker system, which hopefully should check the installer of Windows and all other system files.

    The only thing that will satisfy Flipshare support may be if you save your valuable data and then restore your machine via a recovery procedure on a day of factory?  If you don't have that you would have to try flipshare as first tier cabin.  Even then they might not come again in the party.

    To check the Windows Installer at the moment, try and uninstall a program without importance of programs and features, and then try to reinstall, if she comes out and goes then that tend to support that Windows Installer is alive and well.

    Try running ChkDsk to check your drive for errors. Right click on your drive icon / properties / tools / error checking.  Try first by checking do not each box (that it will run in read-only mode) to see if it reports any problems file or hard drive.  If so, restart it by checking both boxes and restart to allow him to attempt to fix any problems found.

    Have you tried to clean your Temp folder, you can do this by typing folder in the Start Menu RUN box.  This will open your Temp folder, there, you can remove all Windows will allow you to do.  It may be necessary to show both hidden and system files and also uncheck 'Hide known file types' in Control Panel / folder Options / view, navigate to the location manually and see all the files and extensions when you arrive.

  • XPS 15 9550 CPU speed is as low as 0.75 ghz after manually installed windows 10 with all the drivers installed and BIOS updated

    I just bought this XPS 15 9550 in January, and I really appreciate it at first.

    However, one day, as pushed microsoft update to 10586 version of windows 10 and the machine will always fail to install the update, so I decided to download the image file and install it myself.

    The installation went smooth, but after a few days use, I found the computer is very slow during playback of videos and games and I came to find the speed of the CPU shows the label of performance in the Task Manager always will be 0.75 ghz and 0.78 ghz. He cannot go above that. I also found that the use of the CPU cannot exceed 30%.

    I've already updated my BIOS to 1.1.19, reinstall the system, a few times, choose the battery mode high performance, etc and this does not help.

    I also downloaded the power of intel and found gadget for my processor power consumers are still weak and the speed of the CPU is always not 0.80 ghz.

    In addition, I encountered the problem that after plugin the AC power, the speed of the CPU will fall to 0.39 ghz...

    Someone at - it an idea of what is happening here and how can I solve the problem? I'll really appreciate it. Thank you.

    I had my problem is solved. Follow these steps:

    1. download gadget power intel, you can search online for it.

    2. check the power of your CPU (package pw...) rate and open the videos and applications that will constantly consume the CPU power. See if the power is still weak.

    3. If the power is still weak, try to update your BIOS (download dell drivers and the new version should currently be 1.1.20) and see if things are getting better.

    4. If the power is still low, you must contact dell technical service to replace your hardware (my computer has replaced the northbridge, southbridge, I forgot, but after replacing, the CPU works fine)

    Note: If you run games using your discreet graphics card, such as starcraft II and you found that it's extremely slow, it is possible that your cpu is capped.

  • I get error code@80073aa2 when I try to install service pack 2. all the so certificate errors when I try to down load any anti-virus program

    error 80073aa2

    If there is no anti-virus installed on your computer, it is likely infected. You need to clean it up before you can install an antivirus and certainly you don't want to try to install a Service Pack on an infected computer.

    You need to clean it up first.

    If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all shops are skilled at removing malware, and even if they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will have to be properly installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • failed to install for photosmart b109 all-in-one a - m. has said usb not connected to the computer

    I replaced Vista with a new version of windows 7 64-bit and cannot get my HP Photosmart B109 all-in-one a - m at the end of the installation I downloaded from the HP site. I uninstalled this printer as suggested before attempting the download. He gets to the part where you plug in the power and then the lights on the printer the computer tells me that my USB key is not plugged into it. I tried changing USB website and tested the USB connections and ensure that they work on the computer, but still the same response. The program then continues to stay on the installation of the final software and never complete. Talked with a local tech guy who suggested that you contact because he has no idea.

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. However, I did not upgrade but remove vista altogether. I found the problem after a lot of grief and research - there was a cord that had fallen on the back of the library that was not plugged in!
