Installed the program gives the error "target system is not supported.
Hi, I had a program that works with windows 95,97,98, nt it is said. I can open ITC a folder but can't install it on my computer, I get an error msg 'target system os not supported' what should I do.
Hello bkfarmer,
You can try the Mode of compatibility as below:
If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
Use the following steps:
(1) right click on the program
2) click Properties
3) click on the Compatibility tab
(4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows XP or other system that the program has been run successfully operating.
Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows
If compatibility is not successful, then try and run the program compatibility problems:
1. open the troubleshooting program compatibility Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button.
Then click on Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under programs, click on run programs for previous versions of Windows.
2. follow the instructions in the troubleshooting.
If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the Troubleshoot utility, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. This utility is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Marilyn

The upgrade from Vista to Windows 7
I just bought Windows 7 upgrade Windows Vista. I get the error message: operation is not supported on this platform. What should I do to get this latest version in my computer?Have you tried to do an upgrade installation or a custom installation? A custom installation requires you to back up your files and settings with Windows Easy Transfer and then reinstall everything after installing the new. If an update install does not install work, you need to do a custom.
In addition, a Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade will not work and you get a message from a platform if you have bought a UA and tried to use it with Vista. Vista upgrade requires a detail, a copy in the Windows 7 box.

After a horrible experience with the upgrade of Windows 10, I re-installed Windows 7 Pro and had to reinstall all my programs. When I try to install the retail DVD of Lightroom 6 version, I got and error message that Lightroom does not support the Vista operating system. This is NOT Vista; It is Windows 7 Pro x 64 SP with installed updates. Installation stops there and will not continue! I then reinstalled my old version of Lightroom 5.2 (who has updated to 5.7) without problem. How can I bypass the installation process that incorrectly detects Vista?
Thanks for any help you might be able to give me. I really miss my 6 LR!

When I try to create or convert a PDF file in Acrobat DC I get the error "your request could not be performed. Adobe Acrobat DC license has expired or not been activated. "This happens even if Acrobat is installed via a package of the Customization Wizard of the product which takes care of activation and the license is not expired. What could be the cause of the issue?
Uninstall your creative cloud application that basically allows you to download apps and redownload it. This should do the job. Your system just lost you license update.

Trouble installing the guest operating system
All,
Having trouble installing the guest operating system - Windows XP SP3. I followed the directions of the booklet that I try to boot from a local image and a CD. I can't able to get into the setup of the BIOS to start the virtual machine when you press F8. I am currently on a decentralized network that starts his BONES from a PXE server. When I turn on my VM, its shows the boot process than my actual desktop. I tried many configurations, but still problems. All instight would be useful. Thank you.
Welcome to the forums!
To enter the VMWare guest BIOS press F2, no F8.
You can also add 'bios. BootDelay = 10000 "in the prompt .vmx file. This gives you more time to press F2.
The virtual guest has a CD-ROM attached to it?
Is it "connect to turn on?
Is it connected to the physical machine (where the OS CD is inserted)?

Yes, you can reinstall Windows 7 OEM System Builder License on the new hard drive with the new processor.
It will not be a problem in this case, since you don't "move" installation, you are doing a new installation. The less it will take is activation of the phone, as you change the hard drive:
