I receive the error code 1606
I cannot fix the error code 1606. I'm not very computer.
This problem occurs because there is incorrect entries in the Shell folder of the user who is logged on to Microsoft Windows. When Windows Installer goes to the sale of Shell folder of the user who is logged on to the computer, Windows Installer cannot locate the correct entry. The solution is inhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549.
The steps to correct this problem involve editing the Windows registry. Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk. I suggest that you first back up your registry as follows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Back-up-the-registry.
Here are the steps to fix it.
1. click on start, run, typeregedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. look for the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell dossiers\
3 remove the entries that show the path that is listed in the error message.
886549 KBhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/886549: Regedit open again. In the left pane, click User Shell Folders, point tonew, click expandable string value, type the value name that you want to restore (AppData) and then press ENTER. Right click on this value, clickchange, type the value in the value data for the value name box, and then clickOK. The value data must be: % USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming.
Step 8 KB 886549 suggests that you also check the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders. However, by fixing my problem, I had not to change values in the registry key. If this does not work, follow ALL the steps in the referenced article.

Receive the error code: 1606 when trying to install the program
I received an Error 1606 times before and went through the process of editing the registry, and it solved the problem I had. However, now when I try to install the 2008 edition of turbo tax I get a different error message 1606. But when I go into the registry, all entries are fine, they harmonize perfectly with the entries in the table provided by Microsoft.
How can I solve this problem, if solutions are not even necessary?
It's the exact error message I receive:

Hi Kisuru,

I can't send or receive emails from Windows Live Mail. Receive the error code 4402. I can send and receive emails from my Windows Live hotmail account. In Windows Live Mail, it also says my server is an http / imap server. Can it be replaced by a pop3 server, so, how? Thank you
Well, took me a few hours and without the help of a person (TIP!), I've fixed it. Remove the live mail client account and re-apply / restore the account. Solves what seems to be a sync error. -19 October 2011

Who advised you to 'download... '. RegCure? Doing so could only worse issues! If you ever think that your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, boosted or optimized (it isn't), read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions.

Receive the error code 646__in installation KB973709, KB972581 KB 974234
Receive the error code 646
in the installation of KB973709
KB972581
KB974234OK... I had the same problem with the download of the 2007 Microsoft security updates. When I tried to install updates, I receive error 646. I finally solved my problem by going to the Download Center on Microsoft and I install manually.
Here are the steps that I took... which I think should work:
(1) go to the Microsoft Download Center: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx
(2) look for each update code that begins with the letters "KB" and followed by a set of numbers (i.e. KB974234)
3) click on the link for the download and then click on download and run. I think you have to accept an agreement, then click on continue or OK
4) repeat for all downloads that you can not install
(5) run Microsoft Update new and click search the updates and if updates have been installed successfully, they should no longer appear in the updates that must be installed.I don't know if it is not relevant or if it helped me succeed to install updates manually, but before I manually installed my updates I followed the instructions David_O posted under this thread http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/thread/f3390e74-9961-4aae-8a05-554c1a9cf1a2?prof=required&lc=1033 . I suggest that first of all try to download manually by following my directions. If it does not, then it's a possibility instructions of David resolved an issue that allowed me to download them manually disable Microsoft downloads site.
I can't believe all the research and the suggestions of the technicians did not work... sometimes your own research is the best!
I hope this helps! Good luck!

I'm very frustrated with Windows Update after receiving the error code 80070005
After receiving the error code 80070005 for these last months. I tried several suggested corrections but have not been able to get updates either. My operating system is Vista Ultimate 32-Bit Windows operating system and have service pack 2 installed. any help would be appreciated
Hello
As I said that it is a very difficult issue to resolve.
Did you use all of these methods, including the last link to the other thread?
If you have used all then possibly an InPlace upgrade/repair Installation might
help that allows to maintain the programs and data backups although redundant
are always a good idea.You can use another DVD that aren't copy protected but you you need to own
Product key. It must be the same version 32 or 64 BIT Vista OEM. Also the system
machine to usually sell the cheap disk since you already own Windows. Don't forget to make a
good backup or 3 (security in redundancy).On-site upgrade
http://vistasupport.MVPs.org/repair_a_vista_installation_using_the_upgrade_option_of_the_vista_dvd.htmThis tells you how to access the System Recovery Options and/or a Vista DVD

http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-Vista.html=====================================
If nothing works then, you can use BING or Google and search for all types of suggestions
many whom will be totally false.Perhaps the best choice is a new installation. You can use copy and paste to the backup
the data on CD, DVD, or USB drives.I hope this helps.

Use Coldclone - or dd the entire disk - write a descriptor for him then and use it as vmdk.

2. are you trying to backup to an external drive?
3. you have any third-party backup program installed on the system?

I'm sorry to know that you are always faced with the question after performing a restore of system and control of disk. However, you can try the following steps and check if it helps:

Note: Make sure that you enable the antivirus software and firewall after the test.
