No failure, but also installation start-up in lockout mode
Please someone help! So I got a Dell computer to a friend whose father had passed, apparently, his father had a password for administrator account protected, but even if you try and you enter in safe mode, the exact same Congress... up login and password for windows... not the disc as it was given to me because I had not a computer... I really hate, can.someone please help... also its windows XP pro...
Most recently produced Dell computers include a built-in method to restore the computer to its "fresh coming from the factory" State.
Doing so, of course, erase everything now on the computer, including any documents that you may have created since you guessed it and also any software that has been added by the previous owner (that is, not your computer when it came from Dell). After erasing, Windows will be re-installed, as well as all the stuff 'free' than Dell initially loaded on the computer (you'll want to get rid of most of it).
You will need to update the computer after you have reinstalled Windows... but there are a lot of people here who can guide you in this process.
Assuming that some versions of Windows XP has been installed by the factory, you should be aware that, as of April 8, 2014, Microsoft will support is Windows XP. This does not mean that computers with Windows XP stops working, but this does not mean they will become increasingly vulnerable to malware.
According to you how technically adventurous, you can ask for help in installing Linux - which is a free operating system. These days, you can install the versions of Linux that are quite "Windows-like" - and most of the facilities include a free "productivity suite", which is compatible with Microsoft Office file formats.
Please answer the following three questions:
What is the number of number of Service Dell computer 'new to you? See this for help--> http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/en/identifyyoursystem?c=us&cs=555&l=en&s=hea&DoNotRedirect=y
Exactly what do you mean by "locked out of installation start? The body of your question only mentions the Safe Mode. What do you do to get into the 'boot setup' and what happens?

After a microsoft update beginning 04/04/11 awoke to noisy computer which was start and restart in safe mode. Pbly. most of the night it was start and restart. System Restore tried to 3 or 4 different dates, said has been restored, but this does not solve the problem. Have you tried troubleshooting, nothing helps. Worked on it for several days without any positive result. Any advice will be appreciated.
Hi Grandma fla,.
1. you remember what update was installed before that the problem occurred?
2. do you have security software installed on the computer?
Method 1
It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.
I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.
To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.
How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353
Reset the computer to start as usual
When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
(a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
(b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
(c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.
(d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.
Method 2
If the previous step fails, then you perform the clean boot in order to verify if any device on the computer is the origin of the hardware problem.
a. click "Start", type "DEVMGMT. MSC"in the search text box and press ENTER.
b. expand ' audio, video and game controllers ".
c. right click on your sound card, select "Properties".
d. click on the "Driver" tab, click Disable the selected device. Click OK
e. Please use the same method to disable other devices such as: Modem, network card, CD - R drive. Please note that some devices such as the video card are not available should be disabled.
f. restart the computer and check if it works.

I have 2 failure windows 7 installs with 35 GB of hard drive space. but I find no windows.old file?
The first installation failed because I had a copy of counterfeit Windows 7.
I bought another copy and installed. Then, I got a horrible virus/worm that disabled all .exe files and the fix was just beyond me!
I installed again but did not know that the previous facility where still there.
I tried to clean the disc, but I don't me "from previous versions of windows" to clean.
I find no windows.old file. (Enabled hidden files)
Only I have a disc ssd 60gig and want the missing 35gig kindly returned to use.
Can someone help?
Check the system restore to see how much disk space it uses:
Click Start
Right click on computer
Click on properties
Click on advanced system settings
Click on the System Protection
Click on configure
Adjust the amount of disk space allocated to system restore.
In addition, the amount of RAM you have installed, it will take more disk space for paging, hibernation, and dump files.

I am trying to download acrobat pro dc creative use of clouds packer. It fails every time. It seems like PAC and do the package, but then when I try to install (acrobat pro dc) nothing happens. Installation starts but there no acrobat pro CD is installed.
Hi Pavle,
The installer for Acrobat is different from the rest Cloud Creative applications that is why when you create a package by using Creative Cloud Packager, there are two folders created:-
(1) build-->> all upward for all Applications of Cloud Creative except Acrobat.
(2) exceptions-->> Contains for Acrobat and the Muse.
You will need to install Acrobat first through the Exceptions folder. Select the option to install as a trial or a subscription.
Then install the creative rest of Cloud applications through generation file, it will install the applications and your copy of Acrobat license also.
I hope this helps!
Thank you

upgrade fails 3A 15 vom: unpacking OK but the installation does not start
Current version is on my Windows 2000 SP3 my Firefox 3.0.19. I can't update anymore!
There are two phenomena:
1.) when you use the function "search for updates", it offers a maximum version 3.0.19 upgrade.
2.) when I update manually (for version 15), it unpacks the files correctly but does NOT start the installation program - without ANY error message.And I can't find any archive version here to try a progressive example version 5 or 10 upgrade, unfortunately. Are there not all archives?... Or what problem you think, I have?...
Thank you for responding.
15.0.1 Firefox will not install on Windows 2000. Your best bet is to upgrade to Windows XP or later version, or install Firefox 12 of ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/12.0/.
For more information, see Firefox no longer works with Windows 2000 .
In addition, update your windows, you are missing a service pack

I want to force a sequence to fail on an error, but also a failure
I want to force a sequence to fail on an error, but also a failure. It came because the only way I can find to stop the dialogues of Labview error to arise in TestStand is to use the property to ignore errors of time run on a step. I don't want these dialogues to occur because operators do not know how to deal with them. The problem with using the property to ignore Run Time Error, it now is a step that had a runtime error will not kill the sequence. I really want to interpret a mistake as a failure.
I found a link to this same question years ago and the answer seems reasonable. See http://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand/Force-TestStand-Step-to-Fail-When-Error-Occurs/td-p/435510.
In this post, I found the following: "use the SequenceFilePostStepRuntimeError callback sequence. In this sequence, set Parameters.Step.Result.Status = 'Fail' and Parameters.Step.Result.PassFail = False ". But when I pull up the reminder SequenceFilePostStepRuntimeError, niether of these parameters have on the list of parameters. I have Parameters.Step and Parameters.Result, but nothing filled under these broad categories. I don't know if I have a Setup error, or if the reminder has been changed over the years.
Someone at - it advice?
Thank you
Dave
Put a breakpoint in your sequence a little after the step and check the runstate variables to see if they match. This post was made in 2006 and there are a lot of changes since then. Adding in the breakpoint should allow you to see what variables are created at run time, as the passfail. You can then enter in the browser of the expression. When chacking the statement, you will get a warning saying that the syntax may be incorrect, but it's nice. It is also said in this post if you know what you are doing to the variable may be created when running and you will be fine.

I recently bought the game spore original and installed on my compaq cq5320f. It installed correctly but when I try to run the game, the screen goes out for a second, then an error message box saying "spore has stopped working" it self closes and says windows is working on a solution and if it finds one, that he will let me know. the only option is to close the box.
I tried everything, including a spoke with a representative from EA that had me do a start-up in minimal mode, of the United Nations and to reinstall and even suggested I buy a new video card: I did. I upgraded to the Radeon 4850.
I am the only user on this computer and have had norton antivirus running on it every second because she was online. When I right click on the SPORE icon, it does not give my an option to run the previous version and the same error occurs when you try to run as an administrator (whose profile is already anyway).
I am at a loss here. I know that's not the game, because I installed it on my laptop (running Vista) and it works fine.
Please... help?Hey mervcasey,
Please test this behavior in the new user account. Not sure if this will help, but it is worth looking at.
Method 1:
Create a new user account for testing purposes.
For a full tutorial on the same, see: create a user account
Method 2:
If method 1 is the problem, you might be interested in this article to help with the same problem.

I installed Adobe Creative Suite on an external drive. I want to upgrade to CS3, but the installation of CS3 disc wonder the CS4 master drive. I can also select the disc I want to move on. Anything wrong here?
When you start the installation of your cs3 and enter your serial number for cs3, the installer should detect it is a update the serial number and you present a list of products (where you could have improved) eligible.
Select the previous product (what you own) and you will be asked for the serial number of the previous product.
Enter the correct number at the right time and to proceed with the installation.

Maybe you can try one of the below to solve your problem:

Boot the system with a flexible BACK (with fdisk.exe inside) to restore the MBR by typing
FDISK/MBR
This works even on a SATA drive. Start alternative all Win2k or XP installation CD, go to the console command and issure of recovery
FIXMBR
See you soon
