Method 2: Auditor of file system (CFS) scan to fix all of the corrupted system files. To do this, follow the steps mentioned in the link below:

How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

Method 3:  Check with a different user profile

If you do not have a different user account, you will need to create a (see link below). If everything works fine with a different user profile, you can infer that the user profile is damaged, click on the link to find out how to solve this problem.

    I hope someone has a suggestion for this problem... I just bought a new laptop and Windows 7 Professional came installed on it.

    Thank you

    Linney thanks for your response!

    The file I'm trying to install is an exe file (so the SIG file is embedded in the exe file).

    I tried the option "Run As Administrator" and it did not work.  However, you gave me an idea that has provided a work around that allowed me to install the program.

    Once this dialog box is displayed with all the control switches, rather than press 'OK', I left on the screen and went in the 'temp' folder and find the MSI program I tried to install (I cross referenced the timestamp of when I tried to install it to find).

    Once I found the updated file, I clicked it, and he proceeded to install the program... I have not had any other problems with the installation.

    So, there's something wrong with the way that the exe file have been created and how the files extracted from the msi file (these are files of Intel and Lenovo - driver updates - so I think they do these things) or there is a problem with Windows Installer.

    For now, at least, I have a work around I use until I find a solution to this problem of permanent

    Thanks for your help and for taking the time to answer!

  • problem with windows 2003 vpn servers. and xp pro clients vpn using bridge nic

    I have installed 2 guests windows 2003 on 2 laptops. both are configured with 1 CC of backend and frontend 1 nat/vpn server that has 2 interfaces, a bridge and one configured for host only.

    I configure nat on both servers windows 2003 rras and vpn services and have them connected to my local network. they are able to access internet, ping between them and other computers on the network, as well as the host systems on which they run.

    the problem is that I am not able to connect to the vpn servers remotely from inside a guest virtual machine. I wanted to try a vpn site-to site between the guests 2 windows 2003, but the operation failed.

    I then tested customer to type of a guest virtual computer pro xp vpn server. It is also a failure.

    but I discovered that if I initiate a VPN from any one of the host computer system laptop or another computer on the physical network I am able to connect to the vpn servers I have set up.

    I wish I could have these laptops to operate normally and

    time to time be able to turn on virtual machines with vpn

    servers and test as dfs things and replication active directory as if

    they were running 2 separate real-world offices. the two laptops have invited Setup for 192.168.0.0 networks with subnet mask 255.255.255.192. each host that it supposed to be running a 1 subnet for the popular virtual machine with the servers vpn/nat connect together the 2 sites.

    laptop computers are running xp pro and vista ultimate as the host systems. I'm only using the windows firewall but also tested with them disabled vpn connections. also launches the service ipsec on laptops to secure internal lan traffic, I have also tested with two guests with disabled ipsec.

    is there something I'm missing here with the installation of the vmware bridge network?

    Oh I forgot to mention, I test using pptp and ms-chap v2

    I managed to do work by unchecking the tcp/ip settings and the microsoft file sharing on the bridged NIC resaeau.

    now it works very well but who explain to me why it cannot work when you are using the same network as the host card. they all have two different ip addresses and mac addresses. but something seems to be in conflict

  • Problems with Windows Live Mail send and receive e-mails

    Hello

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium and I used Windows Live Mail 2012 (WLM) for many years without any problems, and I prefer it much to Outlook.com. I have my own personal e-mail account and three other accounts available in WLM. I can send and receive emails from three other accounts, but my own account keeps giving the error message:

    Can't send or receive messages on behalf of Clive Read.
    Server error: 4402
    Server: 'https://mail.services.live.com/DeltaSync_v2.0.0/Sync.aspx '.
    Windows Live Mail error ID: 0x8DE00002

    That being said, I can actually send emails, but cannot receive them-weird!

    I spent several hours internet research solutions, including Microsoft pages, forums, etc and later of the end of "solutions" offered in 2013. Many of the suggestions I've tried, without success. I ran other controls have shown that initpki.dll is absent, but I don't know if it's possible causes and, if this is the case, my attempts to locate, re - save or download one have failed.

    My version of WLM doesn't have a "Tools" link, and I can't seem to find where the incoming and outgoing port settings. It gets really tedious, so I'd be grateful for all solutions to update to my problem and perhaps an explanation as to what may have caused it in the first place.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

  • Problem with Windows Mail invalid username and password.

    new issue - I had WM set up on this computer for a year without this problem. When checking my emails, a Windows Security popup stands up and asks me to sign in and enter my password. I do that, then I get this error message-

    Account: 'pop.charter.net', server: 'pop.charter.net', Protocol: POP3, server response: '-ERR user name or password.', Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, Server error: 0x800CCC90, error number: 0x800CCC92

    and then the popup asks again and so on...

    I checked my mail account settings, even deleted and added this email account. Always the same.

    If I connect to the Charter.net and sign there, I get my messages - but can't always get through Windows Mail.

    Thanks for any help

    Janice

    These settings are correct in your configuration?

    incoming mail server name: pop.charter.net.
    outgoing mail server name: smtp.charter.net.

    You should probably not have a tick in the box "connect using password authentication (SPA) secure.

    Take a look in the right pane of the Web Page related to the Support provided by your ISP options.  Sometimes they change the Ports for mail servers and that you may have missed notification.  In all cases the ISP is your best first step for help.

    I am a new user of Premiere Elements. It runs on a PC Pro Windows 8.1. Everything going well until I'm not closing the pragram. If I save a project, close the program and re-open, audio files (any type) can only be heard on the left speaker.

Burning of the project or making changes nothing. All other software is running okay, i.e. None of the problems of sound. Either it's a bug or it's sth. in the settings.

  • Dual monitor boot problem with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit after installation of any graphics program like a game.

    I have built this platform with the help of the owner of a store of 4 cumputer teir 2 years ago. We initially put Windows Vista 32 bit on the system to Vista 64 bit unstable atm. For 2 years, the computer worked like a dream. Last week I made a clean wipe of windows vista and windows 7 professional 64-bit installed. The system has two monitors. The primary monitor is a sony bravia with 26 "led and secondary for watching movies is that a 55 '' led Samsung 1080 p 240 Hz. The graphics card is a geforce GTX 295 nividia. It has 12 GB of Ram and the CPU is an i7 965 @3.20.

    The problem I have is this. After the installation of any game average to work with windows 7, the screens to reset their resolutions automatically more than a few times as they are confused. Sometimes, I have to return the screen to its correct resolution after installation in full. Most of the games and then run fine. After installing the game or any game designed for win 7 startup of computers is all messed up for the monitors. After starting hand 26 "sets its resolution and then after about a second 30 pause the computer makes the sound (the double) that it is resolutuons to reset monitor again? After that this second reset about 1-2 minutes the computer is good to go, unless it sets the res evil. The problem is the computer has never done that with vista and it is very annoying say the least. It still freezes the installation of some games. The only way to resolve what I found is the restoration of the system. The computer starts normally and screen ground is defined once she has always been. The only problem is when you install another game, the problem is their new. This problem is worse in some games.

    The latest nvidia drivers have been installed. There is no conflict in the device with the exception of an old printer Manager. The two comes is set to 60 hertz. I searched all over the internet and there seems to be a problem with windows 7 without solution. I am at a loss. Any other information that you need let me know and I'll post it. Thank you!

    Hi ancientone618,

    It sounds almost as if there is a Windows update that is in conflict with your NVIDIA Driver Installer.  I would say to disable automatic updates of Windows to see if it might help:

  • Problems with Windows Update after uninstalling SP2 (Vista Home Premium)

    Hello, everyone!

    Two days ago, I tried to install SP2 through my Windows Update. During the installation and then restart, it stopped on step 3 (0%), ignored and open Windows normally. But, I realized that I had totally lost Aero (I didn't even have the option in the window color and appearance), and also Windows Update constantly gave me the message that I always important updates - SP2 has not installed correctly (I rebooted the computer several times to try to resolve this problem, but everything remained the same: stop on step 3) ", running Windows, and once again the message that I've updated important). I searched in various forums, but could not solve the problem, so I decided to uninstall SP2 via Control Panel. But it doesn't let me do that - whenever I clicked on the button uninstall, it says that the installation is not finished yet. So, I tried the system restore, but whenever I clicked it, an error message (that I didn't understand at all) appeared. So, I went into safe mode and tried the system restore and it worked (Control Panel uninstall option does not in Mode safe either), and everything is back to SP1. But now I have problems with Windows Update - I get the error message 0 x 8007002 (and even 0 x 8007005 several times). I tried everything I could find in the forums (the thing with automated updates service does not because I don't have this option in Services), but nothing works. If anyone has any advice whatsoever, I would be really grateful for that, because I don't know what to do.

    For safety, I use NOD32 anti virus, Tall Emu Online Armor and ThreatFire.

    Thank you very much!

    Hi EvanaZgb,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.

    I would say to first disable the anti virus and other security software. Then proceed as follows:

    STEP 1
    ------------
    Download and install the latest version of Windows Installer
    To install the latest Windows Installer, visit the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

    ------------
    Cleanup, utility to download and install the Microsoft Windows CleanUp utility. To do this, see the Microsoft Web site: http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2.exe
