    How can I fix this.  I have a large project, I am working on and have never encountered this error before.

    Ah, you have a problem: the new OS.  CS5 does not work with Yosemite.  In addition, Adobe has no intention to make it work with Yosemite.  To do your current job, you will need to return to an older operating system, sorry to say.

    He's a little old wisdom that you should know about - never change your system in the middle of a project.  No doubt you will experience it now.

    Original title: program compatibility Application Applications App Apps game games Legacy Crash crashes Hang hangs

    I get this message when you try to run an old MS-DOS - based program in Win-7 Ultimate 64-bit.

    "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using. Check your computer system information to see whether you need a x 86 (32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher. »

    I understand that I am under a 64 bit OS, but is it possible to get this program to run? I was wondering if anyone has tips :)

    Hi Bcopeland,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    Based on the information, you are trying to install and use an old ms - dos program based in Windows-7 Ultimate 64-bit.

    The problem is a software that was created for Windows 95, 98, and Windows XP has no way to work correctly with an operating system that didn't even exist when the software was written. However, the error message you get normally means that you have a 32-bit software that you are trying to install on a 64-bit system.

    You can check the compatibility of the program with Windows 7, in the Compatibility Center.

    Compatibility Center

    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

    a. click right on the program.

    b. click Properties.

    c. click on the tab compatibility.

    d. Select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or whatever to use the system, the program was executed successfully.

    Here is an article that gives you more information on this:

    Make older programs in this version of Windows

    If the problem persists, you can get in touch with the software vendor to see for the latest version of the program to use the same system of 64-bit Windows 7.

    Hope the helps of information.

    If you need assistance in the future to resolve any issues related to Windows, post your query and we will be happy to help you.

  • HP 8660 hard crash when you try to set up the network

    So, the strangest thing happened to my all-in-One printer, apparently without me even not touching.

    We have changed our ISP and had to spend our routers/wireless modems in our apartment. It is - of course - our printer drop the connection to the network - no surprise.

    So the big weird thing is, when I now try to establish a connection to our new network, our hardcrashes printer and needs a reboot (ie. on / turn off the) to the same function again.

    When it crashes I get a brief error message VERY (less than one second - white letters on a BSOD background), after which all the LED lights on the printer starts flashing and the screen tells me that the printer must be powered on/off voltage.

    The code (I tried to catch in the less-than-per-second duration is shown) is: B8409490

    When the printer is connected by wire (LAN), everything works like a charm. Using the copy function works fine as well. But since a cable solution is exactly what we were looking for, any input as to what the problem could be is greatly appreciated!

    PS:

    I tried to reset the settings and the use of the factory through the hidden «menu factory» reset Problem persists.

    Hi Diojr,

    Thanks for your reply and information!

    I'm sorry to see that you receive the error message when you try to connect to your network. I see the wired connection works fine. I noticed that you have already tried a factory reset and the same problem persists.

    If you haven't already done so, I suggest updating the firmware, and then try to reconnect to your network (wireless).

    Please let me know how it works for you!

    Click this link for downloading the Firmware update, select first your operating system and then download:

    Good luck

  • When you try to set up my Tv Tuner in Windows Media Center, I get this error message: "TV Setup has encountered a serious problem. Click Finish to exit, and then try again. If this problem persists, restart Windows Media Center or the computer. »

    I have a HP m8034n pc with a tuner Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 NTSC/ATSC Combo.  The pc came with Vista and Windows media center worked great just with the tv tuner.  I upgraded to Windows 7, December 2 and fail to put in place my tv with WMC tuner.  The recorded shows that I had before the upgrade to Windows 7 appear and play without problem in WMC. I used the hardware diagnostic tool that is installed on my pc to control the Tuner, and during the test, I can see fine TV stations.  This unit is compatible according to microsoft Windows 7. I have the latest driver and tried to uninstall and reinstall. I ran Windows Update and everything is up-to-date. After that WMC checks tuners, it says:

    screen A___
    WMC has discovered the following:
    Analog cable (1 Tuner)

    Other tuners or TV signals were detected but will not be configured.
    (Show details)

    Is this Setup correct and complete?
    o Yes, configure TV with these results
    o no, show more options
    ________________
    When I click on show details, it is said:

    screen B___

    If a TV signal should be present, check your signal for following tuners connections and try again:

    ________________
    There is another question, because he does not list my correct tv tuner. I click, so I'm now on A screen again.

    When I click Yes, set up TV with these results,-(for the analog option Cable(1 tuner), I select my cable service is, and then click Next.) It then displays a confirmation of analog cable and my cable provider, I click Next again and the error message "installation TV met with a serious problem. Click Finish to exit, and then try again. If this problem persists, restart Windows Media Center or the computer. "appears.

    I even tried to set up the signal manually and on the confirmation screen, I click Next, and get the exact same error.

    I would really appreciate any help and if more details are required, please let me know.  Thank you!

    -Doug

    I don't know what happened, I left my PC off overnight and planned reformatting today. But I decided to give him another chance. Instead of saying the tuner was not available. He showed me a static snow image strong, as he was trying to use my Analogue tuner. In fact, it is supposed to use the composite input for my cable box. I re set my TV signals, and now everything works well again. Its strange because I reboot half a dozen times last night and it's never worked. Leaving the PC turned off for the night must have done the trick, I guess.
