None of my games will install properly on my Windows 7 64 bit.

The computer is two weeks old and barely got World Of Warcraft to run (it crashes some textures and maps) by copying to an external hard drive. However, it takes a lot of effort for me to get an external hard drive to borrow, and I'd like to solve this problem as quickly as possible. I got with Spore and the Sims 3 run (to my knowledge) success, but both had errors during the installation. The message says something about the files not being not not the same as in the disks, and it might be the result of a corrupt environment, but as it has happened with 3 different games (Oblivion done this also, but I have not tried running it), I know that this is not the case. I tried with the Sims 3 and Devil May Cry 4 copy files in my hard drive and install from there, but no dice. I updated to each possible windows update and tried to run programs as an administrator, tried to disable my firewall and even tried the compatibility mode for a few of them. Anything you could tell me would help greatly, I get rather angry with my purchase of the computer as it is.

Edit: Oblivion does not work on my attempt of a start-up, it crashes immediately. Action Center tells me to update to the latest version, but that the contents do not match due to the "source is corrupt" error, patch is immediately interrupted.

Hello
 
Let us discuss a game at a time.
 
world of Warcraft.
a. have you copied the installer of World of Warcraft or that you copied the entire game installed from the hard drive?
If you copied the game installed it won't work. I recommend to copy the installer to the hard disk and then install it.
 
b. Sims and Devil may cry 4.
b. also give us the exact error you encounter so that installation sims and devil may cry 4? And these games work fine now?
 
c. oblivion.
For oblivion, that I would recommend you uninstall the game and install mode of compatibility and then install the hotfix to update the game.
 
Another possibility could be the version of the game. Check if the game is designed for the Windows 7 64 - bit architecture.
You can also check the compatibility of the major part of the hardware and software with Windows 7 on the following Web site.
http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx
 
We hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • Photoshop cs4 access denied when you try to install from disk in Windows 7 64 bit.

    Photoshop cs4 access denied when you try to install from disk in Windows 7 64 bit. I tried in

    safe mode and it starts to install, but get an error there as well.

    What should I do?

    So when you put the disk in it does not work properly? When the disc is inserted, you should have a window pop up with 2 options. 1. install and another to see what is on the disk. Choose to open the disc or explore. Navigate to the folder where is the photoshop CS4 .exe file (which runs the Setup program), right-click on the .exe file and choose Run as administrator and it should start. See if it will install. If this isn't the case, then read below.

    I don't know how long you got in the installation until so chances are, you will need to run the CS4 Cleanup utility. 2 levels to run but do not use 1 or 2 just type number 3.

    http://www.Adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html

    You may need to run the utility windows install cleanup too

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301

    Before you try to reinstall the software make sure that adobe reader is not installed. If it is delete. It has caused problems in the past with vista and CS4 installs.

    You can also disable windows Defender and all antivirus software. You can keep UAC Windows 7.

    When installing CS4 to 90 percent, it stops almost and may take 5 to 10 minutes at the end. It's normal. What a pain huh...

    After the installation is complete, restart

    After restarting, go to the icon of CS4 64-bit or 32-bit (depends on 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7) in the starting area, right-click on CS4 64-bit (if you have windows 7 64 bit), and then choose Properties, Compatibility tab, and then check run as administrator at the lower part. Hit apply, ok to finish.

    Now, run CS4 and run the update.

  • Install HP fails under Windows 7 64 - bit for Printer series CP1020

    Hello!

    I tried to solve this for days, and I've seen a lot of suspense/unresponded to messages about the same topic so I hope that someone sees this!

    Product & number: Color LaserJet CP1025nw CE914A

     

    Operating system: Windows 7 64 bit

     

    Error message: HP LaserJet Installer has stopped working

     

    Changes made to the system before the error occurred: We have updated our info from the router, so I ran the installation disc to reconnect the printer wireless. He uninstall programs initially added to the sleeve of the printer.

    Details:

    -Very well, so 3 days ago we updated our router SSID and password for security reasons. Apparently, there is no easy way to update the details of the network for the CP1025nw so I had to run the installation disc. It prompted me to uninstall the software, reboot, and reinstall. I scoured the guests and then choose 'connect via a wireless network. After searching for the network, I then choose 'installation of Wireless USB '. I have to connect the USB cable when prompted, and as soon as the installation of the drivers I get the Windows error message posted above.  I've attached a screenshot of what appears as well.

    Frustrating is that the printer still works after the installation, but only via the USB connection. I need to get wireless working again, but without the software installation work, I can't seem to get there (unless someone knows a hack/work around).

    Event Viewer provides the following details about the error in the application:

    The failing application name: hpbcsiInstaller.exe, version: 1.5.6.4020, time stamp: 0x4bbf9f17
    Name of the failed module: hppccompio. DLL, version: 1.3.0.24, time stamp: 0x4c9685d0

    Report ID: cb4d353b-2839-11e2-be7e-002564531498

    I tried a wide range of solutions and none of them does not seem to work. Everything from the firmware update, delete all instances of files HP, including .inf files, installation with startup programs and services as the basis because they can get, etc.

    Help, please!

    See you soon,.

    Okay, well that was a beast of a problem to say the least. I am so relieved to be done with this nonsense.

    How it all started - a little recap:

    We changed the password on our wireless network we have updated for security reasons.  I could not find all that helped me update the details of the network (password or the SSID) directly on my printer and said all that I had to uninstall and reinstall everything (and re - run the wifi via USB connection). This is not the case - there is a much simpler solution that I have will cover also the end of this post. Anyway, as mentioned above, during the phase of the installation of device drivers, the installation program plant with the Windows message "HP Installer Setup has stopped working".

    How I fixed it:

    1. print a configuration page by pressing the button "resume" for a few seconds and let go. I have taken note of the following in the upper right:

    Status: Not connected
    Network in use: no
    IP address: 0.0.0.0

    I myself am continued to ask me if I could connect the printer directly via the port ethernet so I...

    2 connect a cat5 from my laptop to the printer.

    3 printed a second Setup page. Now, I got the following information:

    Status: connected

    Network in use: Wired

    IP address: 169.254.71.50

    4. I opened my web browser and tried to 169.254.71.50, but the page wouldn't connect. I recently built a computer game and has found a way to bridge the internet from a laptop wireless to a wired device (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96Z1_6rX5qU) so I was wondering if this could work with the printer.

    5 filled my network connections and wireless according to the video above.

    6a open my web browser and once more tried to navigate to 169.254.71.50 and it WORKED! (Not sure if this IP address is unqiue for my printer, but printing a configuration report is the best place to find it.

    7. I clicked on the Networking tab and then select Wireless Configuration.

    8. from there, I was able to activate my wireless connection, my password wireless update and choose I wanted to connect to the wireless network! This is how you can update your wifi information without having to do a complete reinstall!

    9. I now unplugged the ethernet cable (as suggested next to turn on/off radio buttons. My printer wireless power and is light stayed on. I have now connected once again!

    10. I don't think it was a crucial step, but I also implemented printing mobile ePrint

    11. I printed another page of configuration and can now see the following:

    Status: connected

    Periphery in use: wireless

    IP address: 192.168.1.115

    12. I can now navigate to the printer in my browser using this IP address and was able to find and print on my printer wireless through my phone, but still couldn't print from my wireless laptop.

    13. I inserted the original installation CD, held my breath and clicked on install. Hold your breath here is optional.

    14. He asked how I wanted to connect, and as before, I choose wireless. This time, instead of asking me to connect the USB, it FINDS my printer on the network. I chose this, clicked on continue and all installed successfully!

    Everything is now back to normal! I can use my wireless printer once more. Please let me know if anyone has additional information on the steps above need, or if something does not work for you because there is no other solution out there. Believe me, I spent HOURS AND HOURS to research. I hope this helps some of you!

    See you soon,.

  • Cannot install drivers for nothing - Windows Vista 64-bit

    I have a laptop Dell - Inspiron, with Windows Vista 64-bit. I just bought a HP Deskjet 3054 A multifunction printer and my computer will not install the drivers.  I had a Canon printer and had removed all software before you try to add the HP.  I even tried to reinstall, and each time to get a message to both say he is unable to install the drivers.  I currently have a windows update waiting for an update for the processor intel and it also will not be installed. This problem does not seem to be specific to the device, but rather a problem with Windows Vista and after reading a lot of discussion seems to be common.  But I still have no idea how to fix this.

    Have you tried to delete the file INFCACHE.1? Deleting the file INFCACHE.1 will force Windows to rebuild the file INFCACHE.1 next time window is looking for drivers.

    Why can´t I do my AGFA SNAPSCAN 1212U scanner working properly, my windows vista 32 bit, when it say installation was done correctly and ready for use. ! ?

    Hi Søren benaceur


    You have compatible installed the drivers for the scanner working properly?

    There don't seem to be compatible drivers available for the scanner to work with windows vista. I suggest you try to install drivers available for windows XP in compatibility mode on Windows Vista and verification.

    http://static.Agfa.com/digicam_scanner_drivers/scanner/snapscan_1212u/index.html

     

    So to work around the problem, try to install the drivers for Windows XP in Windows Vista compatibility mode and check if you are able to solve the problem. Compatibility mode may or may not work depending on the specifications of the device.
    Compatibility mode is used if a program written for an earlier version of Windows does not work properly. Then, you can use the program compatibility Wizard to change the compatibility of the program settings. To manually change the settings of a program, use the individual program's compatibility tab

    You can check the link for assistance on compatibility mode - mentioned below
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    If the problem persists while you can contact the manufacturer for assistance without a driver, the device may not work properly. Also, pilots can only be provided by the manufacturer of the device.

    I hope this helps.

Maybe you are looking for
