install .exe files does not work on Windows 8 Pro?

I upgraded from Windows 8 Community Preview of Windows 8 Pro, according to the guidelines.

Now I have compatibility problems with some of my video editing applications.

In addition I just downloaded two new products, including CyberLink_PowerDirector11_Ultra, which is supposed to be 100% Windows compatible 8. The downloaded .exe installation file does not run. Neither the downloaded .exe installed file for VideoPad.

Can anyone help please?

I suggest do you a refresh, then reinstall your applications, because it's one of the side effects of the upgrade of the preview of the final version.

However you do it, its not supported.

8refresh

Here's what happens when you refresh your PC:
· Your files and your personalization settings do not change.

· Your PC will change back to their default values.

· Applications on Windows Store will be kept.

· Applications that you have installed discs or sites Web is removed.

· A list of removed apps will be saved to your desktop.

These steps will take you through refreshing your PC:

· Press the Windows key + C on your keyboard to show the charms (if you use a touch screen: touch the right edge of your screen and drag your finger to the left)

· Click settings

· Click change PC settings

· Click general in the left column

· Under refresh your PC without affecting your files, click Start

Then follow the instructions that will be provided on-screen to cool your PC.

  • the application builder exe file does not work

    Hi all

    I have a usb data acquisition module, it is USB 2408-2AO of MC. I order the module with a VI and it works very well. I used the Application Builder to create an exe of the VI. The exe works great too, but only on my own computer and not on other computers.

    I already made the other screws's exe files and never had any problems to run the exe on other machines. I also tried to do an installation of the VI program and not just a stand-alone application, but once again the final application does not work. The application runs without problem on the target computer, no errors are displayed, but it just does not control the USB module as it should. I think the problem is that the builder Application does not include al screws required in the installation program, particularly MC devices to control the USB device. I tried to manually choose the screws, but it seems that everything is included... I am sure that the problem is the USB device, as I did other exe files and they all work very well (but they do not control the USB device) on other machines. Someone has any idea how to solve the problem?

  • D Link DWA 140 Wireless Stick does not work with Windows 7 Pro x 64

    After searching the Internet for most of the day, I am naïve. Installed Win 7 Pro x 64 (from MSDN-AA) today and I wanted to use my job well DWA 140 to connect to my router for internet. The Board in use is the Asus P5p77-M. All, who tried with 2 different USB stick work USB ports in question. Windows is up to date, as it's the Bios and Chipset drivers, on the site of Asus's latest versions are installed. The DWA-140 appears up like works well in my device manager, but what is it. When you install the software from the site Web of D-Link, the connection software shows no WiFi at all, and the same thing happens if I chose to install the drivers Ralink (manufacturer of the chip inside the DWA-140). All the ideas here what to do?

    What happened when you tried the Windows software?

    He was able to detect the card?

    Looks like a program prevents the identification of the card.

    I would like to start with a clean boot to make sure that a startup program is not causing the problem:

    If this does not work, I stay in the State of clean boot and disable anti-virus and firewall temporarily and reinstall the software of connection:

    Now everything works fine, in the device manager is ATI HD 6470 M without any error code.
  • Carry-over from flash player .exe files, does not open on Windows 8

    So I transfer files to an old flash drive last night and find an old computer games that I put on in 2008 (crazy, right?), but the computer I had back then was a Windows Vista. So, in an effort to try to get these games back, I copied them on my current computer which is Windows 8. Whenever I try to open the game itself, the .exe file, it will have the little blue circle as if it loads and then everything stops and nothing will happen. I tried as an administrator, the same thing happens. I tried troubleshooting, and she added the "Windows compatibility mode: Windows Vista (Service Pack 2), but when I press"Program of Test,"nothing happens - it's all the same little blue circle loading, and then nothing happens." When it has detected additional questions, the additional question was 'Incompatible program'. Is that what I can do to open these game files? Or they will simply not work on my new computer?

    Hi Sasha,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    This issue may have caused due to compatibility issues.

    I suggest refer you to the following article from Microsoft Help to install the program in compatibility mode.

    This article consists of the steps to change the properties of configuration file, and then try to install the program and check.

  • USB Flash drive does not work with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

    I have several USB thumb drives, some of them do not work when I plug them in while others work very well. By experimenting, I reduced the problem with the 64-bit Version Windows. All of these USB keys works well in my other computers that have 32-bit installed and also even computer with the 32-bit version installed on different hard drive. All of these thumdrives are detected immediately and works without a problem. The 64-bit version, I have uninstalles and reinstalled readers, drivers updated for readers and controllers USB chipset, reasigning letter drive without a resolution of the problem.

    It is interesting to know that this problem only occurs with some discs that I (like Ativa 4 GB, 4 GB generic and Verbatim 4 GB). While I discovered that you can do all the nonworking day thumdrives work once if you shutdown computer and plug the thumdrive into the USB port and the computer to boot, boot time is longer than usual and when it is operational in 30 to 45 seconds drive appears in the list of devices and you can read, write and format normally without any problem to experiment. When you pull chase him and reconnect to USB port after 10 seconds same problem appears aggai. First of all, you get the message that the disk must be formatted and if you try to format you will get a message that windows cannot format the drive. If you try to access the drive, you get message that Drive is not accessible. If I take this player and plug it from 32-bit without problem, you see all the files in the drive and are able to read the writing and the format is normally.

    I'd appreciate if I am able to get an answer as a way to solve the problem.

    When you disconnected the battery of the laptop, you did, be sure to press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds?  This causes the rest of completely discharge power.

  • Satellite L750 - Bluetooth does not work with Windows 8 Pro

    Hello

    Well, I got 2 systems of windows 7 on my laptop and I have upgraded to windows 8 Pro. I installed all the drivers and finally work doest bluetooth.

    It works fine if I first start windows 7 wait to connect my Bluetooth mouse and reboot at startup of windows 8.

    If I try to use the function keys to activate/deactivate flight mode (in fact I like to disable WLAN) he stopped Bluetooth to work and there is no way to return to work until I have restart the laptop with windows 7 and the function keys to activate Bluetooth WLAN.

    I love my phone and I love working with windows 8, but it makes me mad and mock no more.

    Any help? Please, I beg you!

    PS: I already wrote in support of toshiba and they recommend to call Microsoft for help... Thanks a lot... its a driver problem and not really a problem of OS...

    > If I try to use the function keys to activate/deactivate flight mode (in fact I like to disable WLAN) he stopped Bluetooth to work and there is no way to return to work until I have restart the laptop with windows 7 and the function keys to activate Bluetooth WLAN.

    The FN key disables and active BT and the WLan by turning airplane mode on or off. If you want to enable the BT or Wlan, you need to go into settings to win 8 PC-> Wireless-> BT switch
