• Whenever I try to scan a windows installer opens, finally I get error 1706

  Windows Installer keeps opening every time that I use my scanner, he said first install windows configures scan then comes up with a box that says: "the feature you are trying to use is on a CD-RoM... then when I cancel what happens with error 1706.» I have never had a problem with my HP Officejet 7410 all-in-one and was able to analyze things without this box to install windows popping up. I have already contacted HP and they did not help. Can I use the scanner if I continue to by cancelling the boxes, but it's boring because it keeps coming back. My original CD was for XP and I had to download a new driver for Vista last year when I got my new computer. It was working fine, but I don't have any other software other than the driver that is Vista. Like I said what is happening just started. Help, please. I already did the Malware, anti spy, scanned with McAfee, cleaned the registry and made a Super disk cleanup and Defragmenter.

  I've tried and it works, thank you anyway. I had to discuss again with HP, who, incidentally, did not save my last conversation. I had to download another earlier version and get rid of my old, which is the most recent driver. All this because of Vista. Let's see how long this lasts until something does not work.

• PHANTON Drive; When I try to open the my computer Explorer window is white and I get a message that I need to format the drive F.

  Hello

  I have a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  The HARD drive is configured to have a small partition for reserved system, Partition C for the system and the Partiton E for my files.  D drive is the DVD ROM Drive.

  Very occasionally when I try to open the my computer Explorer window is white and I get a message that I need to format the drive F.  I did not have a permanent Drive F and when this happened had no other connected devices.

  Drive F is often used, as are other drive letters, by various devices from time to time, such as external hard drives, Flash, my TomTom SatNav players, camera, readers of cards etc.

  Can someone explain why this happens and if I can do something to stop what is happening in the future?

  a. you do not use the game disc to start the program.
  b. the CD player is not compatible with the program.
  c. using a copy of the program CD.
  d. you are not connected to the computer as an administrator.
  e. the programs interfere with the start of the game which is running but is invisible to you.

• I am installing Windows 7 on my laptop. I keep getting a message that says cannot install with the battery. I also have my power hook up the laptop and it is constantly fed. Why can't I install WINDOWS 7?

  How can I disable the message from Microsoft for WINDOWS 7 that "7cannot Windows Installer while your battery is in your laptop".
  I have pluged my power cord power supply for a constant regular to diet at the same time?

  Hi, Sandy

  The Windows 7 upgrade has nothing to do with Windows Update. Transfer your question in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7install/threads

  TIP: You may need a new battery (especially if it's more than 2 years & you have always kept inserted in its Bay while running on current alternative).

• I can't see my pictures using Windows 7 Premium. I get a message that I don't have permission to open it.

  Real user frustrated here.  I had no problem opening and viewing my photos until recently.  I don't know if this has nothing to do with the activation of my smart TV to access my pc and see these photos, but the timing seems too coincidental.  Now, when I try to view my pictures in Explorer mode and using the image viewer, I get the message, "Windows Photo Viewer cannot open this picture because you don't have the appropriate permissions to access the location of the file."

  I've included some screenshots to show you what that my security on the file properties tab:

  

  

  

  It seems that the only way I can get to see these photos is to go through each and every one of them and click on the Advanced tab and change the permissions by removing those listed as the Group weird UID and then add my pc and allow full control, I can then see the photo, but again, I must do this for EACH picture I have at least a 1000.  Suggestions as to the current operating system and if there is a quick way around this?  Note that I did this one at each front and now there is also a handful of photos I can not display.  It's as if they were changed to the original user.  What is going on???  Help!

  Thank you Ramesh sponsor!  I tried, but as the process began, he grew up an "access denied" that it travelled all the files he was trying to change permissions for.  It seems that I can do this for each individual file, but not for the record as a whole.  Still puzzled.

  Dean,

  Take ownership of this folder and try again then assign permissions. See:
