VISTA does not install the files downloaded from the Internet

Howdy!

I am newly working on a VISTA machine at work (little church, I am the new pastor and clearly the most tech-savvy person around). When trying to install a few useful programs, I met a problem: I have download the installation files and try to run them, but nothing is really happening. I get the "Open file - security warning" screen, and I click on 'Allow' or 'Run' or something. Then nothing. If I go in the Manager of tasks, I find the executed program, ostensibly at the bottom of the list using 100 K of memory, but the installers never open and nothing never progresses beyond this point.

I'm running on the Administrator profile, and I even tried clicking on "Run as Administrator". Nothing helps. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello

  • What type of program you are trying to run?

You can view these methods:

Method 1:

I recommend you perform the clean boot.
 
Configuration of your system in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
 
See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
 
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135 
 
Note:
after a repair, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

Method 2:

Turn off UAC and check if the problem persists.

1. open Control Panel.
2. under the user account and family settings click on the "add user account / remove."
3. click on one of the user accounts, for example, you can use the guest account.
4. in the user account, click on the link "go to the main page of the user account.
5. under "Make changes to your user account", click on the link "change security settings".
6. in him "turn User Account Control (UAC) to make your computer more secure" click to deselect the "use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer. Click the Ok button.
7. you will be asked to restart your computer. Do when you're ready.

Warning: User Account Control (UAC) can help you to prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. It works by asking permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings affecting other users. We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.

    After several years, my laptop with Windows XP does not install the automatic updates, giving only a mistake:

    Everything works OK.

    It seems that it is not... Why Dutch? You use or have the corresponding language version installed?

    Free translation of message:

    Please note that ntoskrnl.exe is a process in the cycle of the initial startup on your computer program.

    Try to load your "last known good configuration".

    The issue is also known to be caused by a short circuit in the ground cable into the keyboard cable. Make sure that it is not the cause of your error by replacing the keyboard with another keyboard or just disconnect the keyboard from the computer. You can also look at your function "Add or remove programs" If KB2686509 <> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2686509 > is installed.  Install manually if it is not.

  • Vista does not accept the password (password not changed or forgotten)

    Vista does not accept the password (we have not forgotten password of windows startup) how can we get around this problem .the password has not been changed or forgotten Vista has a little programming problem which stops the right password

    It is most often caused by the computer being infected, so after you go back into the system, it would be wise to make an analysis.

    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

    You can change your password to something you remember (or use a white) another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

    All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

    If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
    NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

    [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

    Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

    If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent as muTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

    Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
    When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

    Exit the command prompt.

    General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

    Hello

    The CD/DVD drive needs no special drivers!
    Vista includes a Microsoft driver that works with all CURIOUS s (CD/DVD drives)

    Simply said, the Vista should recognize the drive without any problems.

    A few questions; did you get any error messages? What is the status of Device Manager? Do you see yellow exclamation points?

    There is an old way to correct a similar drive problem. It worked on XP then try it on Vista OS.
    It of necessary to update the registry entry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    1. click on the start menu.
    2. If it is a Vista machine in the search box type regedit without quotes.
    3. look for the registry key mentioned above.
    4. in the right panel you'll see something along the lines of UpperFilter and UpperFilter you want to click on each key filter and tap on delete. Click Yes when asked to confirm if you want to delete the key.
    5. restart Windows.

  • Satellite P50-B-103 - Cyberlink Powerdvd does not install the update from Toshiba

    So I have an update for my toshiba Satellite P50B-103 for "cyberlink powerdvd" and it does not install, just to unpack and does nothing.

    I left the laptop to operate for about an hour to see if anything installed but it does not, what to do?

    Are you talking about the video player updated v 6.1.2.1 - A available on the Toshiba UE driver page?

    It is an update and requires the Player preinstalled (full version).

    After downloading, you will need to unzip the package (vidpl-20140813100353)
    Then, in the vidpl-20140813100353 package, you will find the TC30704300A.exe file.
    It is also a zipped folder. Right click on TC30704300A.exe and extract the files.
    After that, you will get the TC30704300A containing various additional files where you can start the update process.

    Download complete but do not install the software.

    Hi juan,

    Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation.

    By default, your product trial installer should start automatically when the download process and extraction is complete. If installation does not start automatically, navigate to the folder where you saved the downloaded trial software and launch the installer. (See where are my downloaded products?)

  • Tecra S3: Installation of Vista does not recognize the HARD drive

    I try to install Vista Ultimate on my Tecra S3, but installation does not recognize the HARD drive.

    I tried to find the driver for Vista for my computer, but not found RAID.
    Tried it with XP drivers, but no longer works.

    Do you have an idea where I can download Vista drivers for RAID?

    THX

    Hello

    Your suggestion is good. The Tecra S3 supports the RAID, and the RAID driver is required to install the OS on the HARD drive.
    On the European driver Toshiba page I found a RAID for XP driver.

    I put t know if this driver will run under Vista, but I recommend to test.
    The RAID XP 1.3.8.0 driver version can be downloaded from this site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    Please note; You can store the RAID driver on an external USB and Vista should recognize it!

    Good luck

  • Vista does not recognize the previous Windows forms (2003) and Excel spreadsheets. Is there any solution for this?

    Vista does not accept Windows 2003 documents and spreadsheets - is there a solution?

    Hi wavedave,.

    By 2003 documents and spreadsheets are you referring to Microsoft Office 2003? Vista is not a copy of Microsoft Office as part of the operating system; You can buy a copy of Microsoft Office. However, if it is simply a case of you is not not able to read (to create, you will need a copy of Microsoft Office) there is still rlevant application "Viewer Office." You need a viewer for each application, but, basically, it allows you to 'see' the documents word, excel etc. documents without having a copy of Microsoft Office on your system. As I said, you can "show" them if you need to change or create excel spreadsheets or word documents, you must purchase a copy of office.

  • Comments Windows 7 does not install the network driver?

    Hello.

    I downloaded latest Win7 RC and installed on a virtual machine in VMware workstation. It not installed the virtual NIC driver so I have no internet!

    I googled the problem and it turns out that some people have reported this problem, and it came with a solution which in turn off the virtual machine, remove the network adapter, turn on the virtual machine, turn off again, to add a new and finally turn on the virtual machine - as described in this forum:

    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproinstall/thread/b5843189-d519-4e8a-a4f8-f1e671b341b6.

    I did and I've also updated vmware workstation (I have version 6.5.2 build 156735) and updated tools vmware on windows 7 and nothing worked. I have an another vm with XP and everything goes smoothly with networking and fully operational internet.  I used the win7 help and he pointed out this particular problem: there is no device installed network driver? Any suggestions?

    Each virtual machine can be started by double-clicking its vmx file.

    It is a plain text file. You can open it in every good text editor. Do not use scamblers text such as WORD and nonsense.

    You can compare the vmx file with the list of material that you give to the man behind the counter to your computer-friendly dealer store.

    You can add line at the end of this file - make sure you just you have twice the same line

  • Windows Update does not install the updates from 14/04/2009. Error code 80070002.

    I'm running 32-bit Windows Vista Home Premium on a Dell Dimension E520 PC desktop with processor Pentium dual core and 3 GB of RAM.
    Reasonably up-to-date hardware. Well protected and all software security entirely to so far.
    My problem that goes from Windows Update is not install updates from 14/04/2009 and returns the error Code 80070002.
    I followed the advice and went in the Windows Software Distribution folder and remove all the contents of the data store and records downloads and tried again about thirty times now.
    I get regarding the acceptance of the license agreement and clicking on, ok, when Vista dims the screen and asks if I started it and then the error message in Windows Update, saying: "some updates were not installed."
    Is not a computer expert, I guess that what is described in help Windows Update error Code 80070002 is the same as 0 x 80070002 for which I found advice on a Microsoft page to save these commands
    net stop wuauserv
    CD %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution
    Ren Download.old download
    net start wuauserv
    as a windows batch file and run as administrator.
    I now have a download folder and Download.old folder. Fascinating but no help at all!
    I infer that the numbers of 0x0 are my six error codes failed attempts to install Vista Service Pack 1, a few months ago who always ended up with an unusable computer suspended with a black screen and the white writing showing 46 thousand of 96 thousand file and something, followed by a number of 0x0.
    The only way I could get of these attempts was by booting from the Installation of Vista disk, masking the Service Pack 1 update and using the system restore, but that's another story.
    Have an impact on my current problem, I wonder?
    For absolute clarity are the updates that won't install:
    Explores update for Internet Explore 7 edition (KB963027) 14/04/2009 (Just editing that.) Typed a wrong number in a first time. Sorry).
    Four updates of security for Windows Vista (KB952004) (KB956572) (KB959426) (KB960803)
    Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - April (KB890830). (I downloaded it manually and run it from my office and we found no problem).
    Update of security for Microsoft Office System 2007 (KB960003)
    Update of security for Microsoft Office Excel 2007 (KB959997).
    I'm at a loss what to try next.
    FYI, I use Uni-bleu Power Suite 2009, McAfee Total Protection and Ad-Aware Anniversary Edition with Ad-Watch Live on.
    I tried to do everything that it with Ad-Aware died, but my hunch is that the problem is in Vista ot the updates themselves.
    I'm quite competent with guests of orders, not to mention manually editing the registry!
    However, any help would be received with gratitude and I guess that if the instructions are evidence of fool I have very carefully follow step by step.

    I have the same symptoms: from a distinct point in time updates of windows works more and every time returned the error code 80070002.
    After a few hours, I found the solution: sfc/scannow reported the wuauclt.exe file.
    And the reason was: McAfee virusscan put this file in quarantine. He is falsely W32/Generic.worm.aa in there.
    Restore this file from the GUI of McAfee completely solved this problem.
