• I get the msg, "another installation is in progress" whenever I try to install/uninstall a program from windows vista 32 - bit Dell Inspiron. How can I fix it?

  Hello

  My Dell Inspiron E1505, running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit has had problems lately with the download and installation of windows programs. I close, instead, it will give me msg, "do not turn off or unplug your machine... installation of updates x n updated but that light up as long I have either." He can even take days. When I want to install a program or uninstall, it will bring out the msg, "another installation is in progress waiting until one finishes." I couldn't even run the windows Upgrade Advisor seven for the same reason.

  There, can anyone help?

• I just bought a new computer.it has windows 7 64 bit operating system, it is good with the exception of my call of duty games running, they used to run very well on my windows vista 32 bit system, what is the problem?

  There are video games that are compatible with windows 7 64 bit operating systems?

  Hello Peter.

  Yes almost all games in 10 years works perfectly on 64-bit Windows.  What Call of Duty games are you having problems with?  If the first two, you might have to enter the video drivers for your graphics card/computer manufacturer as the first two required OpenGL which is not included with the drivers that Windows uses by default (this has been the case since at least Windows XP).

• Run MS-DOS programs in Windows 7

  In Windows XP, I used a command mode to display my MS-DOS mode programs full screen.  The command was con passes Mode = 80 rows = 25.  This does not work in Windows 7 in XP Mode.  Instead, the display flashes and displays my programs on 1/4 of the screen.  Is it possible to make this work?

  Reduce the screen resolution 600 x 800 should fix this. (I've only used BACK once, so I'm not sure) teengeek.freehostingcloud.com

• Is it possible to use an old dos program in Windows 7?

  Is it possible to use an old dos program in Windows 7?  Much needed.

  Perhaps. This will depend on the DOS program and if you have a version 32 or 64 bit Win7. It is impossible to run some DOS programs natively in Win7 64-bit. If you have Win7 32 bit, you can try running in Compatibility Mode. See & Win7 support for more details. If it does not or you have Win7 64-bit, create a virtual machine running BACK instead with a virtualization software such as MS Virtual PC , VMware Workstation or VirtualBox from Sun . Also check out DOSBox it's maybe the best solution for you.

  Windows vista 32 bit.
  Windows Mail receives by e-mail at the start of the program, but when I press send/receive it does nothing more.
  Then when I mail windows startup that he gets all of my email, if I send an email to myself, it sends e-mail directly, but by hitting the send/receive button, it does nothing (it shows the Outbox send/receive and said that there are mistakes, but when you check the error tab, it showed no errors). If I close windows mail and that he again, the email is received.  I put it to automatically receive by email after 10 minutes, even there, receiving nothing. I have not any virusscanner, it's a clean install with windows vista 32-bit, and configured the windows Messaging. Got all the updates that are available from Ms.

• Roxio Easy Media Creator 7: How can I get this program in Windows Vista?

  I recently got a new computer, how can I get this program in Windows Vista.

  Since you are not the original poster - and this thread is since September 2009, almost a year ago - I don't know anything about your computer or its issues. If you do not have the same problem as the OP and try to install an older version of Roxio Easy Media Creator in Vista, then the answer is the same for you: buy a current version program that will do what you want. Scanning is managed by your printer/scanner software. How manipulate recorded images is then up to you to do some image editing programs. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Windows Vista (32 bit) stops responding after installing the program...

  Hello.

  Recently, my Dell XPS M1530 (Windows Vista 32-bit) has been extinguished during the execution of the system updates (we had a power outage during the night and I didn't) and would only start in safe mode. I moved all my documents on a portable HARD drive and reinstalled the operating system to try to save the computer.

  After I did that and reinstalled the drivers (downloaded from the Dell site via my system identification label), I started to load my programs on it (Adobe, Microsoft Office, etc.). After I install a program and exit the installation window, Vista stops responding. I can't click on the Start button (the mouse will go over it, but it does not allow me to select) or one of the other button I have in my toolbar. I can't click anything in the Dock of Dell at the top of my screen, either.

  The only way to turn off the computer must press and hold the Power button until the laptop turns off. I HATE doing this, but there is no other way to turn it off once a program has been installed.

  Any thoughts on what is happening here? I hope this is just some kind of error on my part - I can't afford to get a new machine. I wanted to upgrade to Windows 7 (my machine can handle), but I don't want the same problem occurs.

  Thanks for your help in advance!

  Hello

  As you re-installed Windows and the problem persists the rules well enough software. The power
  failure should be accompanied by a power surge or other that has caused a problem in the computer.

  Makes it sound like there are hardware problems that can probably be repaired. Have you looked at the system
  by a real computer store (not the leeks and the glances at a Best Buy or other stores) or Support of Dell.
