    Hi Ryan,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you can not install .net Framework 4.0 whereby you are unable to install the Kaspersky Internet Security software and I'll be happy to answer your query. Let me ask you;

    • How you try to install .net Framework 4.0?
    • Are you can install other updates?
    • What is the exact error message that you receive when installing .net Framework 4.0?
    • Is there any previous Internet Security installed on the computer software?

    There could be several reasons for not being able to install any program or update including any third-party software conflict, corruption of Windows Installer, Windows updates the corruptions of components etc. Please, try the following methods and check.

  • Is there a way to restore the system to factory setting

    Original title: Reinstalling windows

    I would like to restore or reinstall the system on my computer because my computer appears to be infected with the virus and there are a lot of problem with the system as impossible to install net framework. I have never create any point before restoration, and the recovery of the manufacturing company (Acer) tool does not work for reasons unknown. I would like to know if there is a way to restore the system to factory setting. And also, if I have the windows 7 key product that comes with this computer (I think that its probably an OEM product key), what I have to buy a new key of product if I reinstall windows 7 on this computer?

    Thank you for your reply,

    However, I tried with the Acer eRecovery Management and there are two problems:

    • I open Acer eRecovery than Management with System Manager. When I click on restore or create Factory default disc, it says please wait and there is an infinite loading.
    • Also, when I use Alt + F10 to open, it says please complete operating system configuration process.

    Scores of recovery and/or access to them can get damaged.

    As the partition recovery is photographed on the hard drive by Acer in the manufacture of your machine, we have nothing to do with changing/fixing this recovery process once there are problems with it.

    As you have a preinstalled OEM license (Acer, Dell, HP, etc.), contact the manufacturer of your computer to order recovery media that they need to provide for a fee.

    Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

    But Acer does not normally keep recovery disks for you to buy for older operating systems, so it comes down to borrow the exact same edition of Windows 7 DVD to a friend, etc. and by using the product key on the COA sticker on your machine.

  • What is Microsoft NET Framework programs and I can uninstall to get space, or are they important to the operating system and my pc works?

    Microsoft NET Framework programs are indicated with a number in the box sizes when I go to the dialog box to uninstall but I don't know what they are and as they have Microsoft and NET in the titles, I think twice about uninstalling to win space in case they are something important. I have no idea what it is, never use it and if I don't need it would uninstall but I'm not sure I should because it might be important and actually run in the background while I use the pc for other tasks. Someone knows and can explain what are these programs? I appreciate it and appreciate help for an admitted car computer illiterate full below all new novice owner, trying to get the hang of it, but I'm trying! Thank you!

    .NET framework components are required by many programs to work. They provide common functions for them.

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework

    Why do you need to "save space"? Programs do not take a lot of space given the size of modern readers. The values shown in programs and features, are unfortunately often inaccurate.

    If you are new to computers, avoid changing the way Windows is set up. It's the surest way to cause you problems. Relax and enjoy using the programs you like instead of worrying about what's going on under the hood.

  • Vista SP1 does not update problems and System Restore returns a message "system restore was not entirely successful. File system and the setting of your computer has not changed"with the error code (0x80071AA7)

    0rignal title: Vista SP1 didn't update problem

    So, recently, I was on my computer of gf and noticed she had some updates, it could use his computer which included the SP1 update.  So I went through the process trying to update his computer and he has been a disaster and have had many problems and seems to have tried everything.  It has a Dell inspiron 1525 and has no CD and no key for its program of Vista.  I burned a Vista recovery disk and tried troubleshooting by using that, but have not had much luck.  When I use the Startup Repair tool there is no nothing.  So I tried to use the restore of the system with the Description of "install: Windows Vista Service Pack 1.  He had a restore point saved just before I tried to update to SP1.  Whenever I chose this method, it's but the whole process then in the end it says:

    "System restore was not entirely successful.  File system and the setting of your computer have not changed. "

    then he begins to list the details with the error code (0x80071AA7) and then gives me the option to close or 'Run System Restore"once again that is an endless loop, because I just end up with the same error each time.  If anyone has had this problem and bring myself through it.  I don't want to reinstall windows because it seems simply ridiculous and plus that she a lot of pictures on his computer and I want to get rid of those.

    Hello
     
    Follow the steps and check if the problem persists.
     
    Step 1:
     
    I suspect that your security program may be responsible for this. I would suggest you temporarily disable all security software and try the system restore.

    Note : Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.  In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
     
    Step 2:
     
    As for installing updates is concerned, I you should install them after you put your computer in aclean boot State. There could be a third-party software in conflict with updates. Clean boot helps eliminate these conflicts.
     
    Note: Restart your machine as usual by following step 7.

    the evaluation of aci software has problems with net.framework 3.5.1 can I download framework 4 and run at the same time as 3.5.1

    the computer has windows 7 64 bit.

    IPEC software crashes and the error says that it has to do with the 3.5.1

    .NET 3.5 is part of installing win7

    .NET 4 and above is installed via windows update, important updates, and if your windows update is running, would have had to already be installed.

    Installing .net 4 does not .net 3.5

  • Why Net Framework 3.5 requires me to install net framework 3.5 (which includes the 3.0 and 2.0) and the system that I use at the moment is Windows 8? At present, using the Offline Installer

    offline version of net framework have downloaded, but it requires more net framework 3.5 (which were 2.0 and 3.0) during the installation

    Versions of the .net framework are different and require the standalone installation of each version separately. Installation of higher version installs automatically lower versions. For example, if you plan to install .net Framework 3.5, it will install .net Framework 3.5 only and does not install .net Framework 3.0 or 2.0.
