• Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit OS is unable to complete the installation.

  Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit OS is unable to complete the installation.

  I have a Dell Inspiron 530 of 2007 which came with Vista and has been updated 2 years later at 7 w. I had to reinstall 7 W... 3 or 4 times since 2010. I guess that my machine can't handle W7 very well.
   
  My current problem started with a BSOD problem. After trying some suggestions Internet on how to solve this BSOD problem that did not work, including repair of Windows, I did a data back up mode without failure and then decide to reinstall Windows 7 from the MS CD. My level of understanding is limited, but as noted, I've done this before with success. What I didn't understand is there seems to be another unsolved problem which does not allow the complete reinstallation of windows.
   
  I did a clean install, then a formatting and in both cases, W7 could not complete the installation. It progresses to the final stage of "complete installation" and then there is a second error message 1 that I can't read... "" a problem has been detected... close... "."  It seems to be a reboot loop.
   
  I have since read that the original BSOD problem and the 'detected problem' could also well be linked to the display driver. And this driver it must be disabled before performing a Windows installation. But I'm not able to access Safe Mode or the control panel to turn it off. If this driver is the problem, is there another way to turn it off?
   
  Or are there any other suggestions on how to complete the installation of the operating system?
   
  Thank you.

• I want to add a fingerprint on my iphone 5s, but I can't. It shows unable to complete Setup touchid please go back and try again. Please help what should I do?

  I want to add a fingerprint on my iphone 5s, but I can't. It shows unable to complete Setup touchid please go back and try again. Please help what should I do?

  Keep trying. But first, I restart the phone.

  To force the reboot your device, press and hold the two buttons of sleep/wake and home for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

  If she agrees not always the fingerint, reset all settings. No data is affected, but you will have to re-enter all the parameters of the device and the phone will restart on its own. Settings > general > reset > reset all settings.

  Always make sure your finger is clean, free of any oily substance and the same goes for the home button on the phone.

• iPhone s 6 Siri unable to complete phone calls

  I have an iPhone 6 - all the IOS current updates have been made.  Siri can look up a person's phone number, but is unable to complete the call.  I get a message like "I'm sorry, that I can do it right now."  It lasts for weeks.  I turned off the phone and rebooted, I turned Siri on and outside, but nothing seems to work.  Others are experiencing the same problem after my review of the discussion forums, but Apple has not responded.  Any ideas >

  Well, that's because Apple does not participate in the forum. This is a user to user support forum. So, is the only troubleshooting you did a restart and a reset? You have a good internet connection for Siri? I just tested mine before responding, and completed all three calls I tried 3 different contacts.

• Satellite A50: Question on formatting of DVD - RAM

  Hello

  I would format a DVD-RAM on my Satellite A50, WinXp, but offer only FAT32, UDF1.5 and UDF2.0 DVDForm formatting tool. Is there a DVD-RAM driver available that would be able to UDF2.01 or newer? I tried the download section for my model but no results...
  Thank you

  I checked on my Satellite laptop, M and I have the same options as you. To be honest, I do not think there is a more recent version of the DVDForm driver for your laptop. I'm using version 3.0.9.0a and you?

  I have lived with this for a few months and reinstalled XP and then new service Pack 3. Nothing done until this difference

  Hmmm...

  NVIDIA drivers are definitely outdated.

  If the system just stops (literally goes off), I suppose a marginal connection inside, an out-of-date driver or a heat problem.

  You can carefully and without requiring too much force, remove one reinstall all you cable and connection inside including your RAM and all other devices installed just do one thing at the time, so you don't mix.  One thing at a time... Unplug it and plug it in again.

  If she runs in Mode safe, your it would mean that the system uses the default XP video drivers (that is why everything is so GREAT in Mode safe).

  When you start normally and will charge drivers NVIDIA, things will run more hot.  Will increase the time on the CPU and video card.  Make sure that all your fans are running, and the system is properly ventilated and ventilated.

  If the CPU or processor on the video card is a problem of heat it just stop - no warning, no newspaper, no nothing.  Cool that turned off for awhile and it could work again for a bit.

  I use the NVIDIA site and let scan them online take a look at your video system and see what he suggests for drivers and consider their analysis if they offer a new driver.

  It is recommended to run the scan NVIDIA with Internet Explorer.

  Here is the address of the NVIDIA page:
  http://www.nvidia.com/download/Prescan.aspx?lang=en-us

  Read the instructions, and then click the GRAPHICS DRIVERS button to start the scan.

  You must be on the 275.33 version and you are now on 178.13 (from you given msinfo).
