    Hi Steve,.

    Thanks for the reply again, I just did a Tassel factory by pressing F8 at startup upward and then through the options and make Factory Image Restore (after saving the contents of the hard drive to external hard drive) which took about 5-8 minutes after the return and then re-installed all my programs etc. , and everything works fine!

    So I say this to all who have the same problem and no other method does work, simple - easy - fast!

  • "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed.

    A computer virus hit the machine so that the operating system must be reinstalled. In order to save the programs installed, I don't have a format and reapplied just windows + service pack. I saved the data user as shown in this link: http://pcworld.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http :// www.pcworld.com/howto/article/1, aid, 111652, pg, 4, 00.asp

    The office and programs are correct, but when I go to launch some programs (such as Excel, Word, WordPerfect), I get "this action is only valid for products that are current installed. I found a MS fix, but it doesn't install it stating that the level of the OS already contains the fix. I also found a pointer to move to the word 'Detect and repair' but Word does not start, so I can't have this option.

    I suspect I am missing some link between the old installation of windows and the new facility. I do not have the older Office CD so I can't reinstall. Did someone knows something I can check to try to get the Office to acknowledge that it is valid for this user. Betsy

    You are missing a lot of the associations. You need to reinstall your programs from the CD or the installable executables. I'm sorry that you do not have your Office CD-ROM, but you cannot reinstall Office without it. You can:

    It lists the reg keys his looking, then you might check to see if you put them before doing anything.

    Back up your registry and set a restore point before taking any action - assuming that is your problem.

    Also, if you download and run the file, AV check it before running it - just in case.

    NOTE: the above was found by google, I have not tried that I have not had the error. I can't say if it works or not.


    PS - Also, FYI, while the research I found this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893048 , but it seems specific to XP - SP2. Don't know if there is an equivalent W7.

  • HPPhotosmartEssentials.msi and can't make repairs on something that are not installed error

    This prevents the busy when starting windows installer... I reinstalled the HP printing software again and again and I get all green checkmarks with the diagnosis of HP, the eq seems to work perfectly.  When pointing the file in a temporary folder, it is said cannot perform repairs on something that is not installed. When you point to the .msi on the original disk file, it does nothing. WHAT ARE THE XP REGISTRY KEYS TO REMOVE THIS NUISANCE?

    It would be I think that it is somehow a bug in the HP upgrade process that will not remove previous versions. I think I have a hpphotosmartessential version 3.5 open now.

    It's not urgent that I can click cancle 1000 times before windows finally gets the trick.

    I have read enough about it and continued each method to remedy this and I'M NOT GOING through ANOTHER afternoon OF RE - INSTALLING SOFTWARE from THE DISC.

    I expect an HP engineer to answer this before someone else, that says something I've already read, don't.

    This must be a registry entry that is not processed during installation and upgrade.

    Because I didn't misplace the entry or move, I expect you to know where he is and I wish to eliminate or make a change to one of its key...

    Thatnk you in advance!

    Note: Make sure to create a registry backup Open regedit, file > export & save Office

    To access this location:
    Click on start then run type regedit

    Register window opens

    Click on + and then HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Installer/products

    Select any folder under products, then click in the right pane you will see the name of the product (WebFldrs XP) usually where the status, Solution Center, Scan, Destinations and etc. So check each folder under products if you find the name of the product that keeps popping up delete the folder and that will solve the problem or you can use Ctrl + Find and all the msi name box that keeps the popup type & remove the folder itself

    It is the shortest method to solve the problem without uninstalling/reinstalling software.

    If the problem is not resolved it's time, you will need to uninstall/reinstall the software.

    Hello

     
    You are able to install other updates successfully?
     
    See the methods mentioned below and check if that helps.
     
    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: put the computer in a clean boot state to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • My system is XP SP3. I have MSOffice 2003 SP3. I have 28 updates for Office that won't install after many attempts and a "FixIt" run or two from Microsoft.

    My system is XP SP3. I have MSOffice 2003 SP3. I have 28 updates for Office that won't install after many attempts and a "FixIt" run or two from Microsoft. That this has something to do with the .net framework 4.0 or something? I used Windows update, and then update Microsoft, all this without success.

    If the fixit does not resolve the problem, read the article:

  • How can I check for dates that are the same for today.

    If I have a bunch of dates in a datetime colum. How can I check for dates that are the same for today.
    "For example, this value of days would be ' #dateFormat (now (),"mm dd yyyy") #

    The best I could come up with was:

    Select * from data where data.userID =
    2635 AND
    "Convert (varchar, dateAdded, 101) = ' #dateFormat (now (),"mm dd yyyy") #


    How can I get this to work smart peeople :)

    It is best to make the comparison on the datetime values. One technique is to get the current date at midnight. Then add one day to get tomorrow's date. In your sql query finds all values is greater than or equal to today and less than tomorrow.

    One solution is to do everything in MS SQL

    WHERE the dateAdded > = convert (datetime, convert (varchar, getdate(), 112), 112)
    AND dateAdded = dateAdd (d, 1, convert (datetime, convert (varchar, getdate(), 112), 112))

    Another option could be to use CF to calculate dates:


    WHERE the dateAdded > =.
    AND dateAdded<>
