• When you try to upgrade Windows Vista to Windows 7 I get this error: "Windows could not retrieve information about the disks on this computer."

  original title: problems of Windows update/upgrade

  I'm currently trying to install Windows 7 on my desktop running Vista.

  Whenever I run the Setup it comes up with the following error: Windows could not retrieve information about the disks on this computer.
  I already put the virtual disk on auto and rebooted several times. I get the same error.
  Also, I tried to update my computer by using the windows update thinking that would help... Windows update decides to not work either! It comes up with the error: Windows Update cannot currently check the updates, because the service is not running. You may have to restart your computer.
  gain, I restarted and it still does not work.
  I am currently running Windows Vista 32 bit on my desk (I thank God for my laptop!).

• Backup has encountered a problem during backup of the C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop\music file. Error: (System does not find the specified path. (0 x 80070003))

  I had to uninstall iTunes a few months ago and successfully re-installed, but part of my music was missing.   At one point, following the instructions on a thread on the forums Apple or Microsoft, I saved my music library on the desktop. Since then, I do not have a library of music on the desktop file.  In my looooooong hours trying to fix things, I do not know if I deleted it or what.

  Now, I get the message:

  "Backup has encountered a problem during backup of the C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop\music file. Error: (System does not find the specified path. (0 x 8007003)) "whenever I have backup my computer.

  As I understand it, that does not affect really any other files, they rely on the spot (I think), but

  HOW CAN I GET RID OF THIS MESSAGE? or what is the cause?  Of course, I could use help in simple English, step by step, as I'm not very techno...

  Thank you!!!

  Hi serene,

  Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

  As indicated by the error, this problem appears, when these files/libraries that are saved automatically are not present on your computer. I suggest you to follow the steps below and check, if it can help solve the problem.

  • Create missing files that are listed in the error message.
  • Exclude files from the files to backup in the backup settings and then include these files in their original location. To exclude folders in other communities and to include these files in the original location, follow these steps:
    1. In Control Panel, open backup and restore.
    2. In the section back up , click change settings.
    3. In the dialog box Configure the backup , click Next.
    4. In the dialog box that you want to save , click Let me choose, and then click Next.
    5. Expand data files, library, expand additional locations, and then click to clear the check boxes folder AppData, Contactsand Research .
    6. Expand computers, expand the element of your system drive (for example, expand Local disk (c)), expand users, , and then click to select the checkboxes AppData, Contactsand Research if they exist.
    7. Click Next, and then click Save settings and exit.
    8. Backup and restore, click back up now to perform a new backup. The backup operation must complete without errors.

  If the problem persists, I suggest you follow the steps in the following article for troubleshooting backup problems.

  Hello

  You did changes to the computer before the show?

  These problems occur because the folders or libraries that you are trying to back up or restore include a reparse point. Analytical points are similar to shortcuts Windows or Unix symbolic links. A point of analysis can be used to point to a file that is moved temporarily to a different drive.

• I want to install windows 7 arc gamer edition. I m using the new copy to install from dvd, it goes well until the installation of the updates, but installation ends, it displays error windows could not update

  I have windows 7 ultimate works correctly. I want to install windows 7 arc gamer edition. I m using the new copy to install from dvd, he is well until the installation of the updates but the installation finished, it displays error windows could not update the configuration to start the computer.  not installing and it rolls supports everything. Please help me solve this problem

  original title: windows 7 gamer edition

  Download of software on these sites can be very risky, because the origin of the files are usually edited and its quite possible that they could have injected malicious code in it.

  Windows 7 Gamer edition is not a developed Microsoft or affiliated with the product, what appears to be a customized image of Windows 7 that authors customized to remove or add Windows components, which can also be very problematic.

  You use something that no one can help you consider he has probably been reverse engineered and probably injected by a malicious code like spyware (keyloggers, rootkits, worms, viruses). I suggest you stick to Windows 7 Ultimate, this is the most complete edition of Windows 7, anyone can have.

  Hello

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to reset the Windows Update components manually by following the steps in the section Let me fixit myself .

  Warning: the section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry .

  Method 2: Analysis of SFC (System File Checker)

  SFC scan will find all missing or incorrect system files and repairs them.

  See the following site:

• Error "Windows can not open installer_msi_win.msi."

  I get the error "Windows cannot open installer_msi_win.msi."  It resembles an association for execution has disappeared.

  I found a msiexec.exe file and tried to associate-but, it did not help.  It displays a message indicating that my run is in the wrong format.

  Note: I do a clean-up recently and deleted all my kb*.log files that were under 2 years old.   I wonder if this is related?

  Whatever it in, how can I get my installation files (installer_msi_win.msi) back to work for me?

  I think these are my updates of Windows and rather important.

  See if its installed. Go in run, type: cmd cmd type: Msiexec/help

  A display window should appear with msi info, otherwise Close cmd.

  Go in run, type: msiexec /Unregister

  Once done, go to run, type: msiexec/regserver

  This must be reinstalled Installer.

  For me, the problem was intermittent (same registry key would sometimes cause the issue and sometimes not - must be corrupted sometimes) so it was impossible to tell what program it was.  Fortunately, there is a newspaper, you can watch that will tell you exactly what registry key is slightest mistake out.  Here are the steps to get the newspaper, you must see:

  4.) copy the file to another computer that has Windows 7 setup.etl corrupt system.  Place it at the root of C:\ for easier access.

  5.) open a prompt on the Windows 7 computer.

  6.) navigate to the root of C:\ (or anywhere where you saved the file)

  7.) type "tracerpt setup.etl o logfile.csv.

  8.) close command prompt and open logfile.csv in your text editor of choice.

  9.), look in the log file (near the end, probably) for messages that say "Failed to key"reg"process or one of its descendants" to me, the exact eror looked like this: "failed to process the"reg"key or one of its descendants: [profile \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESET\ESET Security\CurrentVersion\Plugins\01000200\Profiles\@My] ' If you search for"«key reg"' or «failed in the process»»» You should find the failure.

  10.) remove this software from your image, or how to get the registry key that does not work properly.

  After that, you should be able to correctly identify any key problem and the elimination/workaround on your image.
