I've seen other answers for it but when I go to my list of services. Windows Installer does not appear on the list of Services. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  • Try refomat Pavilion dv6 Vista 64-bit. C: format not available

    It has been a year since I have my Pavilion dv6.  It's a little slow and I want a new installation of Windows 7 64-bit.  All my data is stored on external hard drive.

    I have my recovery disk ready to go.  When I right click on "C:" in the management of the computer, it won't let me choose 'Format '.  It is just gray.

    How to reformat my C:?

    Yes, my laptop has a recovery partiion (D I understand that I must leave in tact.)

    Advice on getting this format complete?

    Hello

    Since you still have the recovery partition, use Restore Factory is a better option because formatting OS drive is not the same as the format or other readers. Please back up all your data/files first.

    To set your PC/laptop to the factory settings, restart the PC/laptop. At HP Home screen has reached repeatly F11 (or ESC) key to start the recovery process. Follow the instructions on the screen.

  • My windows vista Loader summary is enclosed. will not respond to the keyboard.

    This Dell PC locks up and my daughter has turned it off. He did this several times. Now, it will not be to all. The screen indicates that the previous attempt to retake an unexpected interruption failed. It does not start in safe mode, and it does not meet strikes. I already checked the connections and switching of the keyboard USB port to be sure that it was not a mechanical problem.

    If safe mode does not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

    Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

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

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • Operating system. We have first Pro CS6 and Windows 7 32 bit. It will not be installed

    Dell laptop Latitude 6420

    Windows 7 Professional

    8 GB Ram

    A user in PR must use Adobe first Pro CS6. However, when we tried to install the program is grayed out and displays a warning icon. If I hover over there is a message that says that he prefers the 64-bit. Rather not say will not work in my opinion. However it will not be installed.

    I read that first Pro is 64-bit on another web site. Is this true? There must be a solution.

    On the Adobe site, I saw that the installation of CS4 first was the work around, but you must purchase a license key. We have already purchased the Premier Pro and have no money in the budget to buy an old product when it should work.

    Help, please. I'm under a lot of pressure to solve this problem

  • HP Photosmart c7280 all-in-One vs. Windows 7 32 bit Home Premium - will NOT PRINT!

    I recorded more than 6 hours trying to get this thing to print.  It does not print.  Tried the wireless, USB, Ethernet, NOTHING!  My laptop Lenovo detect it when I plug in the USB cable, downloads, everything he needs, it's good to go, without errors, convenience store can not find something.  When I try to print something, the printer icon appears in the taskbar, but when I scroll over it, it says '0 documents pending' then it disappears eventually.  The only thing that I could print are the test page & page of the HP Toolbox diagnostics software help page.  When I try to print from any other program, it will not be printed.

    I downloaded and installed all the patches, updates and even reinstalled the software that is supposed to be compatible with WIndows 7.  I'm tired, I'm in a bad mood, I'm about to give up AND do what they hope, I'll do and just buy a new printer.

    I browsed all the forums here and done everything someone suggested.

    No problem.  I'm always happy to help you.  Looks like you might be on the right track with the cable.  What you are discribing it seems it's a communication problem, more of a problem with the drivers.  Make sure that you do not use a USB cable that is more than 6 feet (2 m).  Anything more than that and the loss of signal can cause problems like this.  Let me know what happens.

  • 64-bit Firefox developer will not allow silverlight for installation

  • Vista 64 Bit Home Premium does not start when a disc is in the optical drive

    I tried to understand this for a long time, but I thought I might as well ask for help.  I use Vista 64 - bit Home Edition Premium and the problem I have is that I cannot restart my machine if a disc is in the optical drive. Specifically, if I have a DVD or Bluray disc in the optical drive (IE a BD - ROM drive). When I restart my computer and a disk is present, the startup process is going past the initial windows screen, but that's how far it goes. My desktop (I don't have a password to connect). Initially, I thought it was a matter of priority to boot but the boot process starts from the hard drive but stops at half way through. Then, I went into the BIOS and removed the optical drive completely from the boot priority list.  But there is no change in behavior. The process stops with the only thing visible on the splash screen is a black screen and the hard drive light flashes and goes out from time to time.  I use this computer as my Home Theater PC and sometimes I have to restart my machine when a movie DVD or a Bluray movie is in the optical drive. I would appreciate any response that can help me solve this problem...

    Thanks in advance...

    There may be something wrong with the files on your hard disk.  We will try to update to see if it helps:

    Do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

    If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

    If this does not resolve the problem, try the following:

    To run the Bootrec.exe tool, you must start Windows RE. To do this, follow these steps (I believe you need a disc for Installation of Vista to do that, even if some Installtion OEM disc might work, but probably not all the recovery discs).

    1. put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

    2. press a key when you are prompted.

    3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next.

    4. click on repair your computer.

    5. click on the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next.

    6. in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt.

    7. type Bootrec.exe, and then press ENTER.

    Note If rebuilding the BCD does not resolve the startup problem, you can export and delete the BCD, and then run this option again. In doing so, you ensure that the BCD is completely rebuilt. To do this, type the following commands at the command prompt Windows RE:

    ·        bcdedit/export C:\BCD_Backup

    ·        c:

    ·        Boot CD

    ·        BCD attrib s h - r

    ·        Ren c:\boot\bcd BCD.old

    Bootrec /RebuildBcd

    If this does not work, or if you do not have the disk, try EasyBCD http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 and see if that works and does everything well.  Make sure what you are doing or you could mess up your boot files and you'd be in a lot of trouble.

    I don't know if the problem is even caused by startup files (but it is possible if it is not the BIOS), but you'd better check and if the procedures are followed to the letter as stated there is no harm in trying.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!
