• After the upgrade to Windows 7 Steam is not compatible

  Recently I got COD MW2 for Christmas and it was great, but now I've upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit and I can not install steam because of a compatibility error. He says I tinker with the compatibility settings in steam.exe what do I do?

  Hello Bloodfest Maniac.

  I guess that you have a copy of Modern Warfare 2 steam?  By upgrading your computer to Windows 7 64-bit, do you mean you actually perform an installation upgrade on Windows Vista 64-bit.  If you did, I suspect you could get better results by properly installing the operating system.

  For what is steam on 64 - bit systems.  It should work fine, plus 25% of Steam users use 64-bit, and most of those who use Windows 7.  The first thing I would try would be to close all applications running in the background, such as antivirus software and make sure that you are not actually running steam with compatibility settings will be only unnecessarily confuse issues like it * must * install and run fine without their use.  Except that if you have disabled UAC or disable lately which could be the cause of the problems, I would recommend just leaving him on how applications will maintain their State in one place.

• Unable to connect to the website of 'http', steam and App Store

  I use a Macbook Pro 13 inch, mid-2012 with OSX Yosemite 10.10.5. I had a problem with my network which I cannot connect to the 'http' site in Google Chrome or Safari. It shows ' site is not reachable, refused to sign, ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED '. In addition, I can not connect to Steam and it shows 'code error - 102, unable to connect to the server. "Server may be offline or you cannot be connected to the internet". I can access the App Store, but most of the app doesn't load the image, and it seems weird that I cannot install or update applications from the App Store. It is said "we could complete the purchase. Cannot connect to the server'. Finally, I can connect to the Web site "https" as google.com, facebook.com, youtube.com, and apple.com. I don't know what I was doing before that happens because I'm not all of the firewall settings or IP network since I bought it. I don't even no matter what antivirus installed on my macbook. I do not think that the problem of my wifi because it works fine on my other devices. I try to fix but still have no luck.

  Here what I was trying to fix my problem:

  1. I try to restart the computer, then reconnect to my wifi - nothing fixed

  2. I have try to change the DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 - still not fixed, worse still, unable to connect all Web sites

  3. I try to delete the Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration folder and restart the computer - nothing has changed

  4. I try to start safe mode and it works very well and when I reboot to normal, it still happens

  5. I try to remove and re-add the Chrome in the firewall settings to allow incoming connections - nothing fixed

  6. I try to delete all the data navigation and cookies in Chrome and Safari - still not fixed

  7. I try to plug in the ethernet cable, as a first step, it works very well. Then, when I disconnected and reconnected again for the second time, and then he had the same problems.

  What I saw here, I check that iTunes had recently many updates with the same version of iTunes 12.4.1 since June 4, 2016 (1 time), June 5, 2016 (1 time), June 6, 2016 (2 times), June 7, 2016 (7 times), June 8, 2016 (2 times), June 10, 2016 (9 times), June 11, 2016 (1 time) and June 12, 2016 (1 hour). I don't know if this is normal or not because he had to download and installed about 24 times with the same versions! It is possible that iTunes is the cause of this problem? Any help and suggestions that can solve my problem? Thanks in advance!

• The installation message of "the system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation" get steam.

  I just bought _ 2 who needs steam installed to function. When I try to install steam tells me that the system administrator (me0 has set policies to prevent this installation.) I have no idea of what policy they're talking about or how to change. Can anyone help?

  Hello Nickydwuk.  Well, it's a bit difficult to know exactly what is happening from your description, I assume you're raising steam when he asks?

  If you are uncomfortable with the head on registry:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer

  Check to see if there is a key named DisableMSI.  If there is, and the value 1 to zero.  If this isn't the case, something is blocking the installation.

• Steam.exe(main_exception):error:Delete of steam.exe failed, Win32 Error5 "access denied."

  I get the error that is displayed in the title line when you try to install the application of steam for the game Left4Dead. Just in case where the window title does not display the full error message:

  Steam.exe(main_exception):error:Delete of steam.exe failed, Win32 Error5 "access denied."

  My system specs are as follows:

  MB: ASUS P6T DELUXE Version2
  CPU: i7 950 QUAD-CORE 3.06GHz
  GC: XFX RADEON HD 4890 1 GB
  RAM: Patriot 12 GB Triple Channel Lat7
  HARD drive: WD VelociRaptor 150 GB 10K rpm
  HARD drive: Samsung Dual RAID Class 1 TB
  HARD drive: dual Seagate Barracuda 500 GB
  PWR: COOLMAX 1200 Watt
  CASE: Aplus Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower
  OS: Vista Ultimate 64-bit

  I checked my system and performed the following tasks to try to resolve the problem:
  My version of Windows is up-to-date. I have no problem hardware or exceptional driver. I tried to temporarily disable my antivirus to complete the installation, this does not solve the problem. I tried to install it as a system administrator. I searched the site of Valve/steam software for a solution, none were found (http://store.steampowered.com/). I searched the database of Microsoft for a solution, none were found. I'm having no problem with other games or applications that were loaded on that computer. The problem is only with the application steam.exe and any game that requires the application of steam to the function.
  I came across the following link which has promised to solve the problem;
  http://www.bing.com/search?mkt=en-us&q=steam%20error%20Win32%20error%205
  https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=5322-QYZB-5344  
  I followed the instructions at three times, all with the same error message.
  The default program is responsible for the following: C:\Program Files (x 86) \Steam.
  I tried to load the program on different hard disks and got the same error code.
  I have triple checked all user profiles to make sure that the appropriate privileges have been set (Admin). I checked all the steam program elements to ensure that they have been set to run as a program director executed. I double checked that proper TCP/UDP ports are open for the application of the steam function. http://www.resoo.org/docs/Counterstrike/steam_ports.html
  Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello Platinum,
   
  Thank you for writing to Microsoft Vista Community Forums.
   
  This error is primarily caused by a lack of permissions for the user, having the Steam.exe file attributes set to 'Read only', or by another program interferes with the installation of Steam process (if the steam client application has been updated to a version that was not included in your package of Steam, Steam will download a new copy of itself and then delete the old file Steam.exe except when another program interferes).
   
  1. check your Windows user permissions.
  Please ensure that you are logged on as administrator on the computer that you use to install Steam.
  2. check the file attributes
  3. right click on the file Steam.exe, which was created after running the Steam Installer, and then select Properties
  4 uncheck the read-only box if it is checked and hit apply before closing the window
  5. try running the Steam.exe file once more
  6. check the settings of your security software
   
  If you are running an antivirus, firewall or any product safety program that may interfere with the removal and replacement of the file Steam.exe (some security software will check information of a file whenever it is changed and block the automatic replacement of files) Please check your settings for the program and ensure that you are prompted to authorize activities that may trigger the security software.
   
  Remove spyware, Adware and virus software and try to run the installation again.
   
  In addition to the steps above, follow these steps:
  1. go in C:/Program Files/Steam /.
  2. right click on Steam.exe and go to properties.
  3. click on the Compatibility tab.
  4. check run as administrator and click OK.
  5. then I deleted StemeTemp (or something like that. the steam icon).
  6. then run Steme.exe again.

  It will be useful.
