    Hi guys,.

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Review the information from the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/search.aspx?l=en-us&type=software&s=Grand%20theft%20auto

    He says that version 2 is not compatible.

    If Aero is the problem, disable it before installing the game and then turn back on.
    I would say as you right-click on Setup and select "Run as Administrator".

    I hope this helps.

  • I downloaded ie9, it does not open. a window opens as it tries to start and then stops (very quickly)

    I downloaded ie9, it does not open. a window opens as it tries and then stops (very quickly) no error messages appear.

    I tried to reinstall, ran a scan for problems, the saved settings. I can still access to safari or chrome.
    I noticed that some other features in windows now do the same thing while trying to open a new window and it does not work. I have vista 32 bit.
    IE9 is showing as a program and all the settings seem ok
    my windows will not install updates?

    Hi Robin,

    Since you are facing problems of opening IE 9 and a few other features in Windows, you can try these steps and see if it helps

    Step 1:

    Check if the problem persists in safe mode with network.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    Step 2:

    If you do not experience the problem in safe mode with networking, you can try to perform a clean boot and see if it helps.

    A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.

    You can read the following article to put the computer in a clean boot:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    After the troubleshooting steps, please refer to clean the boot link to put the computer to normal startup mode.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • Windows 7 does not open the windows in the taskbar. The content seems to be displayed off the screen

    Windows 7 does not open the windows in the taskbar. The content seems to be displayed off the screen. It started after the uninstall of Registry Mechanic and PC Tools, but this cannot be bound. IE 9 seems to be particularly affected. So do not display all of the windows that show on the taskbar.

    Use the Windows logo key & left arrow several times for each windows application through their positions until they appear on the screen.

    This problem is normally reported after someone used an external monitor as the applications try to open in the same position they had when they were last open - so if there was an external monitor last time now disconnected, they will try to open it in the middle of nowhere.

    I know not, or the other tools that you mention, but if they are registry cleaners then they could also affect other parts of your system.
