Problems installing the software and updates

I ran Microsoft Fixit as some updates and the printer software will not install. As a result, "one or more components of Windows Update are configured incorrectly". I run XP on Dell 7 years. He seems to have lost the installation files. Can anyone help please? I can re - install the original XP disc?

You can do a fresh install if you feel that this is necessary.

You can try to go through this list as well...

Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in.  Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.)  You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory.  This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

-Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
-Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
-Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
2. click on the System Restore tab.
3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

-Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
-Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
-On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
-Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
-Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
-Click OK.
-Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
-Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

You can use an application that scans your system for the log files and temporary files and use it to get rid of those who:

Cleaning the components of update on your Windows XP computer

While probably not 100% necessary-, it is probably a good idea at this time to ensure that you continue to get the updates you need.  This will help you ensure that your system update is ready to do it for you.

Download and run the MSRT tool manually:
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx
(Ignore the details and download the tool to download and save to your desktop, run it.)

Reset.

Download/install the latest program Windows installation (for your operating system):
(Windows XP 32-bit: WindowsXP-KB942288-v3 - x 86 .exe )
(Download and save it to your desktop, run it.)

Reset.

and...

Download the latest version of Windows Update (x 86) agent here:
http://go.Microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=91237
... and save it to the root of your C:\ drive. After you register on the root of the C:\ drive, follow these steps:

Close all Internet Explorer Windows and other applications.

AutoScan--> RUN and type:
%SystemDrive%\windowsupdateagent30-x86.exe /WUFORCE
--> Click OK.

(If asked, select 'Run'). --> Click on NEXT--> select 'I agree' and click NEXT--> where he completed the installation, click "Finish"...

Reset.

Now reset your Windows with this FixIt components update:
How to reset the Windows Update components?

Reset.

Now that your system is generally free of malicious software (assuming you have an AntiVirus application), you've cleaned the "additional applications" that could be running and picking up your precious memory and the processor, you have authorized out of valuable and makes disk space as there are no problems with the drive itself and your Windows Update components are updates and should work fine - it is only only one other thing you pouvez wish to make:

Get and install the hardware device last drivers for your system hardware/system manufacturers support and/or download web site.

If you want, come back and let us know a bit more information on your system - particularly the brand / model of the system, you have - and maybe someone here can guide you to the place s x of law to this end.  This isn't 100% necessary - but I'd be willing to bet that you would gain some performance and features in making this part.

    original title: windows installer install problem 3.1

    I use windows vista home with service pack 2 installed. I have a custom made software. Before installing this software, I need to install 4 i.e. cystal reports, dotnet, report viewer and Windows Installer 3. I was able to install the first 3, but the windows installer fails, it is said to be "saturated". I also tried MSI 4.5 but of no use. My software runs well on Windows XP. Can anyone help.

    Installation with Windows Vista version is:
    Windows install 4.0
    Version - 4.0.6000.16386

    Windows Installer 3.0 is released with Windows XP SP2. It was released as a redistributable.

    You can download Windows Installer 3.0 Redistributable from the Microsoft downloads site, but it has not been created to run on Windows Vista. It will probably give an error message that you have a newer version installed.  You may need to change the program to look for a different version of Windows Installer.

    You may be able to install the software in Compatibility Mode.
    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

  • Having problems installing of software and drivers for HP Deskjet 9800

    I uninstalled my HP Deskjet 9800 because I have too many problems with it. I use Windows XP.  I went to hp.com and download the software and drivers for this printer. The software and drivers simply go to my folder of the downloaded files. How can I install this software for my printer work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Patricia

    The downloaded file is a .zip or .exe.  Go to your download folder (right click on start > explore, click the Folders icon and navigate to your folder) and then double-click the downloaded file.

    If it is a .zip file, it will create a folder.  Inside this folder is going to be a setup.exe file - double click on it.

    If it's a .exe file, double-clicking on it to launch the installer.

  • Install the software and registry keys for the windows installer I screwed up after a system restore, what can I do?

    After you install an update, which forced me to restart my laptop, I had to do a restore point, because it stops while windows is loading files of the update, which led me to a restoration of the system, which has messed up a large number of windows registry keys install leaving me unable to open the following software:

    • Skype
    • Avira (but not the antivirus) Launcher
    • Java

    I can not install or uninstall these programs, either because I need to an .msi file that does not match the latest version of these programs, the program does not appear in the uninstall Manager or just installer does not at all, so what can I do to correct these programs and be able to install their return

    The just Java installer does not appear when I double click on the .exe, no matter if it is the x 64 or 32 bits, and I can't uninstall it because it does not appear in the uninstall Manager.

    Avira Launcher Installer, ask me for a .msi to remove the last version, but I can't, if the installation fails, also the program does not appear in the uninstall Manager.

    The Skype installer just cannot be updated, and I uninstalled it with a 3rd party uninstaller, but now it's just throw a critical failure when starting to install

    My main question is, how can I solve these installers, should I format this laptop and do a clean install of windows?

    Hello

    Please contact Microsoft Community.

    After the description of the problem, I understand that you are not able to install programs after system restore.

    In this case first I'd say allowing you to run the cities in trouble it automatically repair the issues that block the installation program or delete because of corrupted registry keys.
