installation problem of alpha Centauri on windows vista

I'm unable to install alpha Centauri on vista

I run the installer, but nothing happens

Hello
Do you have an error message when you try to install?
 
There is currently no information about compatibility with Windows Vista to alpha centauri. It may or may not be compatible with Windows Vista. Clickhere to check.
However, you can follow the steps and check:
Step 1:
You can try to right click on the file setup.exe and "run as Administrator".

Step 2:
If worked well in Windows XP, I suggest that you run alpha centauri in Windows compatibility mode .
 
If it still does not work, I would say that you contact the manufacturer of the game for a better support.

    I like expedia streets 98 but cannot be installed in my Dell with windows vista home basic edition.  After installing and opening of the mapping program, my computer said I have problems with the Pushpins (there is no reference) and I restarted it following the instructions and still does not download.

  • I have a problem with the download of Windows Vista Service Pack 2.

    Original title: Vista SP2 help for download

    I just download Vista SP2 on my Compaq Presario PC and it seemed to install correctly.  However, after it restarted my computer, nothing happened.  The computer was on, but he was not making a noise and the screen was black (and eventually appeared in mode 'sleep').  After about 3 hours of this, I restarted my computer manually. When I turned it on the Tower made a lot of noise (sounded like a blowing fan), but the screen remained black and didn't try again to exit mode 'sleep' (even when I moved my mouse and restarted my monitor).  I am unable to do anything on my desk now, then, what can I do to fix this?

    Thanks for the help.

  • Error7 message about the signature unidentified, the upgrade and installation of iTunes 10.5 for Windows Vista.

    Original title: error upgrading and installation of iTunes 10.5 for Windows 6.

    I tried all kinds of ways to solve this problem, but I can't seem to find a solution. This all started when I tried to update my iTunes to version 10.5. Then came the error message 7 on unidentified signature etc. I could not even run my iTunes more then. I started download iTunes again to repair and it just doesn't work. I don't have problems with the installation of my iTunes for the first time a year ago and upgraded whenever I allow it.

    All other methods I tried to correct the error includes:
    • Uninstall iTunes completely and everything that it supports the programs and files (Quicktime, supporter of Mobile, Hello, Safari etc.)
    • Download Quicktime separately after you have uninstalled it as suggested by other users in some forum.
    • Update the frame Microsot.NET as suggested by the Apple Support site.
    • Manually started the installation of such Windows program suggested by one of the answers on this site:

      a. click the Start button, and then type services.msc in the start search box and press ENTER.
      b. Locate the Windows Installer service.
      c. check that the status is started. If the condition column is empty,
      d. right-click on Windows Installer, and then select start.
      e. If you get error trying to force start the Windows Installer service, then try to change the Startup Type to automatic.
      f. restart the computer.

      I have tried for at least 10 times and I have not yet set and am frustrated. Would be really grateful a solution to this soon.

      Windows Version: Windows Vista Home Premium - Version 6.0 (build 6002: Servie Pack 2).

  • The formidable problem of Connectivity Bluetooth in Windows Vista continues to baffle. Here's my story and the cry for help!

    System:

    Dell XPS M1530 - Windows Vista HP SP1

    Device Manager:

    Bluetooth radios
    -Dell Truemobile 355 Bluetooth + EDR (driver 6.0.6001.18064, 21.06.2006)
    -Microsoft Bluetooth enumerator (driver 6.0.6001.18064, 21.06.2006)

    Other devices
    -Device Bluetooth device
    -Device Bluetooth device
    -Device Bluetooth device
    -Device Bluetooth device
    -Device Bluetooth device

    Additional information:

    There are NO NOKIA SOFTWARE currently INSTALLED.  I had the version more up-to-date of Nokia PC Suite installed earlier today, but I uninstalled it to rule out it as the cause of the problem.

    Objective:

    To be able to connect my phone Nokia E50 in my XPS and synchronize etc...  It's a thing that I was able to do in the past (not sure how long ago), but now I'm having these problems.

    Problem:

    When I turn on my Bluetooth connection it starts to search for drivers of devices at random (see above).  He is unable to find the drivers for them and Windows problem reports & Solutions (WPRS) says that there is a problem with my Nokia cell phone.  However, as above, I uninstalled Nokia PC Suite and Nokia ALL entries from the list of programs in the control panel.

    I'm also be prompted by WPRS to consult the Broadcom website for driver updated also, but surprise surprise their Bluetooth software upgrades are not available now.

    I spent almost 3 hours to try to rectify this problem until today and I have tried at least four different solutions of various Web site, including this one.  From what I've read, it's an extremely widespread problem that seems to have no infallible solution, which is a bit ridiculous because it is only a problem of Bluetooth connection!

    So my questions are:

    1. Why is it I'm being invited to check the Nokia website when all of Nokia is uninstalled?
    2. Why is it I'm being invited to visit the site of Broadcom also?
    3. why my system tries to install five devices that do not exist whenever I power on Bluetooth?

    I suspect that it is a problem of Microsoft or Dell but don't seem to be able to solve.  All my drivers in Device Manager are up to date (at least I said that when I try to update, although I'd like to think that there has been updates since 2006?) so unless there is some hidden updates on the wwweb somewhere that I can't find so I'm puzzled.

    I know that people are probably sick of hearing about this problem, but it has not disappeared, so he needs to take care.

    Hello, Ronan,.

    Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.

    I would like to respond to three questions of your message:

    1. Why is it I'm being invited to check the Nokia website when all of Nokia is uninstalled?

    It is possible that your software Nokia my not completely uninstalled. There may be services or registry information left behind. You can download the following utility and uninstall completely.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp tool to uninstall any remaining Nokia information.

    Installation of the Windows Installer CleanUp tool:

    Find the tool here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

    When you install the tool, you must be logged on as administrator of the machine.

    After you download the ms1cuu2.exe on your desktop, you will need to right-click on it and select "Run as Administrator" and you will need run the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the start menu. It will be under programs and will be called "Windows Installer Clean Up.

    2. Why is it I'm being invited to visit the site of Broadcom also?

    Because Dell uses Broadcom, more than likely, you will be redirected there after installed Dell printer the standard utilities trying to solve this error message Bluetooth that happens.

    3. why my system tries to install five devices that do not exist whenever I power on Bluetooth?

    After you uninstall the Nokia Software completely, see if that solves the problem of device.

    I would also recommend, contact your provider of cellular service to support more.

  • Installation of HP OfficePro 8500 on Windows Vista fails repeatedly

    1. system: Windows 7 Vista completely up to date. An OfficePro 8500 HP. Fully functional.

    2 printer has gone offline, if we could still and scanning.

    3A ran the MS software troubleshooting of devices and printers. Found no error.

    4 used the HP software to uninstall the printer driver and software.

    5. power cycle the printer to force a reconfiguration of the default printer.

    6 restarted Windows System.

    7. use the HP Printer doctor tool to check. Use the tool to download HP install the tool and the printer drivers.

    8 completed the installation. Fax Works works/Scanner.

    9. the printer does not print.

    10. check line print, turned on the spooler and turns off, check the print queue. The documents are not sent to the queue print.

    What to do next?

    Note: I now got 4 hours into this mess. Even $100 an hour, it would be cheaper and I imagine that more quickly to buy a new printer.

    Welcome to the @Wm_Dailey forums

    I read your post about the question of impression you have with your Officejet 8500. The good news is that if the printer copies, scans or faxes, the printer itself works fine, and the problem is more in the software, the driver or the operating system.

    I will do my best to help you with this. In order to find the best info, I would need to know if you are working with Windows Vista or Windows 7 and what 8500 model you have.

    Let me know and I will check it for you.

    In the meantime, try to restart the print spooler:

  • Problems in using a DOS Windows Vista program

    I hope someone can help me with this.  I currently have a HP Compaq Presario F700 computer laptop (GR967UA #ABA) which has a processor bicoeur AMD Athlon 64 X 2 (TK - 55 1.80 GHz).  I have 1.0 Gig of RAM, and it's a 32 bit OS.  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 1.  My problem is the following:

    I installed a program of production/printing barcode Dynacomp, a MS-DOS program that told me the company is compatible with and would work on Windows Vista operating system.  I can get the program to operate in all directions except for actually photograph the barcode.  When I try to do, all I get is an error message indicating "device PRN of spelling error".  I checked the connections to printers, operation and have no problem printing with something else.

    I'm not a user of BACK and just the most basic familiarity with its use, for example. If there is no step by step instructions, I'm lost.  Any ideas on why printing is a problem or if all goes well a few ideas on fixing or working around the issue would be greatly appreciated.

    This is JUST A GUESS, but I assume that the program tries to write about the default printer... know LPT1, which is a device of parallel port... which YOU probably do not even!  This thread seems to discuss your problem: http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/t1018027328 (Google: BACK set default printer).  Technically, their program MAY work in Vista, command prompt, but maybe ONLY when the computer has a parallel port LPT1 printer is connected.  You need to talk to Dynacomp and ask them what to do to address setting up YOUR printer.  If you Google long enough, you'll probably find the answer yourself... There are VERY FEW problems, that no one else has not met before (you), and they are kind enough to document their journey

    If Vista Business pre-installed, so you can have a "Recovery" partition on the hard drive. If so, then check the user manual to find that button (usually an F key) support during the initial boot process / screen in order to start the recovery process.

    Your other option is to call the manufacture of ther PC support team and ask them to send you the recovery media.

    Hi, thanks for the info, the format is fine. Your Flash files also are all correct and the Shockwave Flash Object. Flash Player is installed correctly and then something is contradictory, very probably an add on in the browser.

    Don't forget to inform me on the anti-virus program, etc.

    You can also view the IE Add ons all add ons, BHO or audiences that you don't know what they are for. Everything you have now, you did not have prior vs uninstallation and installation of Flash Player 10.1. Let me know.
