Hi Kathleen,.

Thanks for joining Microsoft Community.

According to the description provided, looks like you're not able to install updates or programs such as the Windows Installer does not work.

I have a few steps, I should help you solve this problem.

Method 1:

Try the steps mentioned in this link and check:

Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Method 2:

Try these steps and check

Let us scan SFC and check if there are any file system corruption.

1 put the Windows XP CD in the CD-ROM.

2. click on 'Quit' if the auto-menu appears.

3. click on 'Start', then click on 'run '.

4. Type "SFC/scannow" (without the quotes) in the "Open" box, then click on 'OK '.

Note: There is a space between "SFC" and "/ Scannow".

The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

More information on SFC scan found in this document:

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310747

Method 3:

Run a virus scanner and check:

Virus is known to cause these problems. Scan your computer for the Microsoft Security Scanner, which allows to get rid of viruses, spyware and software malware.

http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner expire after 10 days from the date of installation.

Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  • I have a new HP Envy with Windows 8 desktop computer that still does not run properly. I rebooted, restored, ran chkdsk, sfc/scannow, uninstall/install update etc...

    I have a new HP Envy with Windows 8 desktop computer that still does not run properly. I have rebooted, restored (im doing this), ran chkdsk, sfc/scannow, malware, virus, uninstall/install etc and my machine wil always do not run for a long time without going through some sort of problem after an hour or two.  Can anyone suggest what to do about this? I read a lot of information online on all the windows 8 and fixes bugs, etc, but anything Microsoft/Windows, which ensures its customers, a hotfix or compesating their customers with software that still works. This isn't a hardware problem, and I can't keep day and bad shooting and trying to fix the day things in?

    Sincerely,
    A client who is a loss for words.
    Here are some problems in no particular order.
    1.) apps to not install it, and/or Windows saying they are when they are in fact not. The fix to install / uninstall, or get on the site of windows directly in general does not, and or does not at all.
    The change permissions 2.) does not work on files that you should be able to access in changing oxnership, permissions, etc.
    3.) Google chrome won't let me access my account of microsoft (or fact rarely) trying to access assistance. But internet Explorer doesn't?
    Randomly will increase from Internet 4.) a previous connection wired to wireless to a reboot.
    5.) my 8 'key' windows was only shown to me after that I have let Windows scan my machine online? Why? I paid for this... I restarted it and it says: service not available (it worked the third attempt which was 1-3 minutes after the initial analysis). Windows only showed my product ID not the key. I know that my victory. 8 was OEM when preinstalled I bought it new, but why didn't we files on it that had nothing to do with activation, appearing on dates for three weeks, or so before I bought it. What is the 'activation of the factory'?
    6 :) Windows Essentials does not hang for a long time, and the troubleshooterprogram of update simply does not work (I had to go to the website to try tp operate, the bluetooth functionality is not good that there is an error.
    7.) windows scan and repair gets stuck at 27% (Im not the only one with this problem).
    8.), avery MS Office 2013 Disappears so often and not easy to reload "we have encountered a problem.
     

    The computer manufacturer is responsible to see that it works properly with Windows 8. It says that it is a new computer I contact HP and make these problems their. If you don't get satisfactory results I turn and look elsewhere for a computer. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

    Windows service install could not be consulted how to fix this?

    Hi raptor05

    What exactly happens when you try to install a program that needs this service?

    Try these steps and see if it helps you:

    Unregister and re-register Windows Installer.

    To do this, follow these steps:
    1. click on start and then click Run.
    2. in the Open box, type msiexec /unreg and then press ENTER.
    3. click on start and then click Run.
    4. in the Open box, type msiexec/regserver, and then press ENTER.

    NOTE: you must log in using the administrator account and try to install it like that. Or you can also try running the program by right clicking and select "run as Administrator". It should work.

    We need to install the latest version of Windows Installer that is 4.5, the link to it is:

  • PrintScreen of Windows 7 doesn't work does not correctly

    Not sure if it is in the correct category but... I downloaded Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit from my school DreamSpark account and installed on my computer, which is pretty old about 5-6 years.  There should not be anything wrong with the copy of Windows, it is not a debug or whatever it is, it's just the regular retail copy.  Almost everything works fine except for a few small quirks/bugs.  First of all, I can't preview images using the Windows Viewer, it displays simply all the rectangles fully black images.  However, if I open an image to preview in Image Viewer, and then click full screen/slide show then it displays the images as should be in full screen.  And then exit fullscreen Gimme the picture in black and white.  Not a particularly serious issue just annoying really.  In addition, perhaps in relationship I guess, I recently discovered that my Windows PrintScreen does not work.  When I hit PrintScreen, or any variation of the PrintScreen key combination, it captures just a large black rectangle, as if my entire screen showed only in black.  I tried to paste my Clipboard into Paint and Photoshop and both give me a black monitor rectangle size, it's really weird.  I even tried a third-party screen capture software and it's the same thing and I can't find anything even close to relevant on the internet.  Anyone have any ideas, anything is appreciated.

    Another separate problem: when I turn on my computer, it will sometimes, not often but enough times to be meaningful, decide to not turn it on and recognize my keyboard and I have to restart and I hope that he do it again.

    Last thing, I swear (I should probably do different missions).  My computer, as in my windows, does not sleep properly.  Sometimes, he won't in the mode 'sleep' and every time I try and wake him up it gives me a white, white I think, screen instead of the login screen.  If I press space to unlock my computer, because there is no password, it will take me on my desk but he will not recognize my internet connection ethernet or my desktop speakers and I have to restart my computer to get these features.  Once again a lot of what I think are really weird problems.  Any ideas on any of my problems is greatly appreciated.

  • Wake on LAN doesn't work don't not on my 8.1 Windows R7

    I can't get my R7 running Windows 8.1 to wake up from sleep with a WoL «Magic Packet» State I use a Plugable USB2 (6 AX88178/Realtek RTL8211CL) ethernet adapter. I have six other PCs on my home network, all running Windows 7, and WoL works very well on all of them.

    I activated the WoL function in the bios of R7 and the device settings for the NIC Plugable (for which I have downloaded the latest drivers from Plugable), and I tried to wake up the R7 with the QuickStart feature, on and outside. The R7 is lying just through it all.

    Any suggestions?

    vvprad, thanks for your response. But note that if you uncheck the 'disable', the 'magical' 'waking up' boxes and as the two gray outside. Apparently, let the PC to disable the NETWORK adapter in order to have the rest of the NIC in the PC. Makes no sense, but it's the way Win7 Win8 do.

    Anyway, I tested my NIC USB on your laptop Dell Win7. WoL did not work it either until I enabled wake USB in the bios. So if you use a USB NIC, to look for the right settings for the NETWORK card and USB. As you suggest with the suggestion of USB power setting.

    But here's the gist: I unplugged the NIC port USB3 on my R7 and connected to the USB2 port and WoL woke up. The USB NIC did everything perfectly using the port USB3, but not of WoL.
