Hi Barbbean,

Thanks for joining us out on Microsoft Community Forums.

Quick questions:

1. what happens when you try to install or uninstall applications?

2. that you get an error? If Yes, what is the exact error message?

3 are you aware of any changes made to the computer, before the show?

  • My Dell Studio 17 (with Vista Home Premium) will not let me install anything... ?

    Okay, so I recently bought a laptop... About two weeks ago now, I think that... It's a Dell Studio 17, and it runs on Windows Vista Edition Home Premium. So far, I had a lot of problems to install programs on it. When I tried to install AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) it wouldn't download; I finally managed to do install via the start menu somehow...
    BUT now LENS won't let me sign... but that's another story! lol - the real thing that worries me is not able to install games. I just bought the Sims 3 and after inserting the disc, choose a language and a count of the wizard InstallShield, once I have access to the license agreement page and click on 'I agree' and click 'Next' an error message pops up saying something about impossible to install. He has a huge long error code and I don't know what that means. At first, I thought there was something wrong with the drive, so I went back to the store and exchanged it for a new one. When I got home and tried to install it again, it's the same thing. Then I tried to install another game that I have (Zoo Tycoon - Zookeeper edition) just to see if any game would work... It's the same thing; before he actually started to install an error message came. The first error message said something to have an invalid character in some way... ? ! (no idea...) Then an other error message pops up something else I didn't really...
    So, as you can see, there must be something wrong with my laptop. PLEASE HELP SOMEONE. I would appreciate advice...!

    2. right-click on the configuration file.
    3. Select 'Run as administrator'.

  • Satellite L850 - Win8.1 will not let me install the chipset drivers

    Hello

    After I've upgraded to pro 8.1 windows 64 bit 64-bit windows 8 (preinstalled), I thought that windows will not let me install the chipset drivers (downloaded from "toshiba site" for windows 8.1 pro 64-bit), but they stay with windows drivers installed for them.
    The Device Manager displays all installed and properly using. In addition, during the implementation was executed to install the chipset driver, he skipped most of them, to install a missing driver only (unfortunately have not kept any screen to show). I tried to install using the Device Manager (automatic search or manually navigating the computer files downloaded from the site), but it keeps saying that the drivers are up-to-date (drivers with the version from 2006, when later seen on the site are 2014). Any suggestion what to do?

    Model name: Satellite L850-1MK
    Version of the operating system: Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 6.3.9600
    CPU: Intel (r) Core i7-3630QM cpu @ 2.4 GHz
    GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7600M

  • Do not let me install any apk file

    I updated my phone to pacifier, but she will not let me install any apk. The install tab does not work when I proceed to the installation!

    Hi Rakeshroxy,

    Do you by chance have any screen dimming apps on the device? If so try disabling it and then try to go through the installation.

    However it could also be referring to a damaged APK.

    Let us know how you go.

  • Windows 7 will not let me install my Kodak Digital Camera C875 camera.

    Someone can tell me why Windows 7 will not let me install my camera, worked very well in Visa, any help out there?

    Original title: Kodak Digital Camera C875

    The best way to manage old cameras that have compatibility problems is not to connect the camera to the computer, but rather to remove the memory card from the camera and use a desktop card reader to make transfers.

    If your computer lacks a built-in card reader, you can buy very cheap () USB card readers

  • PC will not let me install update hp drivers

    Hi all, have a hp presario s1610nx / / 3200 and updated to a 2.4 processor, works very well, whenever I try to update bio or drivers chipset I get the message that I must be an administrator, the pc has listed me as an administrator but that is not letting me do the downloads, I went into safe mode and tried to get to the downloads , but it won't be internet access in safemode, sauvΘs em my HTML documents, returned in safe mode, it will not give me access to my HTML documents, which would be my next step?

    I think you're confused? You said "was a 2.8 but I did a processor upgrade to 2.4. I think you meant 1.8 to 2.4?

    Original once set, all the right drivers can be found here you will need to return the unit to its original condition, original, the original case and CPU cards.
