but when he went to then install, it says the program path: C contained an invalid character, since then, I have tried to change the destination folder, but it still says the same message, any guy for advice? Thank you

Hi RyanShiner,

(1) what is the complete or exact error message you get?
(2) remember to make changes to the computer before the question?
(3) where exactly you are trying to install?
 
Try the steps mentioned below and see if it helps.
 
Step 1: Try to install java using administrator rights.
If the program you are trying to install or run says you have to have administrator rights, but you are already an administrator on the computer, right click the icon to install the program, and then click Run as administrator.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
If the program installs, but does not, right click on the program icon, click Properties, click the Compatibility tab, select run this program as an administrator checkbox and then try to run the program.
Step 2:
How to solve problems when you install or uninstall programs on a Windows computer
Note: After completing the steps provide programs that are currently running on your computer may interfere with the installation process , follow step 6 of the same to the computer back to normal.
 
Hope this information helps.

  • WINDOWS CAME, BUT THE DOSE OF MOUSE IS UNRESPONSIVE, TRIED MOUSE WORKS IN ANOTHER COMPUTER. __

    I INSTALLED THE MEMORY AND HE FOUND ME BUT THEN THE MOUSE DID NOT ANSWER.  HAS RELEASED THE NEW MEMORY AND STILL NO RESPONSE

    Hello

    Check that the plug of mouse did not come loose. If it is USB, then you should be able to simply unplug and back in. A PS/2 mouse requires that you stop and restart before it will be redetected.

    If this fails to solve the problem, try to start in safe mode to see if it works there. If Yes, then you have a software problem. If this is not the case, then check them detection parameters in the system BIOS that installing new memory may have caused a reset of settings customized to the system board.

  • We tried to help a friend fix his computer remotely. His computer is no longer ends the boot sequence in Windows.

    We tried to help a friend fix his computer remotely. Basically, we have tried everything we can find online on fixing his problem starting on his HP Pavilion. The machine came with preloaded VISTA and no associated cd. Each repair or restoration option circles on itself bring back us into the same menu screens. We tried to fix boot managers, etc., but its always the same thing, even when you try to boot from disk we sent him. The system recognizes only shape any of Vista is installed because of the images/graphics; However, it does not list an operating system being installed in the system menu of repair repair. Thoughts?

Then, in the Task Manager, I started to delete what I THOUGHT was not essential.  But now I've lost EVERYTHING on my desk!  No internet access, no access to my email, no access to the function of my own computer!  (Start, search, System Tools, etc.).  The ONLY way I could even make this announcement, is to use the Task Manager.  It seems to be the ONLY thing working on my computer everything!)  Help, please!

    Have you tried booting in safe mode? If it does not start last good test Configuration.

    1. go to the performance tab and click on it.

    Hi kevinonasa

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers Forums!

    Please check if the headphones work fine or not with other computers.

    If so, then let us know how long have you had this problem? Did you change to the computer?

    If this is not the case, the problem is with the headphones that you may need to change.

    -Right click on the Volume icon and select playback devices.
    -Select the headset as default device and open the program that you want to use this device, it will play on the current default device.

    The program will continue to play through the headset.

    NOTE: If the head phones are not displayed, you will need to select the option to view the disabled devices and disconnected devices and select head phones from the list and set its default value.

    After back and let us know if it helped to solve your problem.

    You can use your voice to control your computer. You can say commands that the computer responds to, and you can dictate text to your computer. Before you start using Windows speech recognition, you must have a microphone attached to your computer.

    Keep in mind that WordPerfect 7 is a very old version - eight versions. Usually very old versions of almost any program do not work on newer versions of Windows. I don't know about you, but I suspect that you must upgrade to a newer version of WordPerfect.
