• My Dell Studio 17 (with Vista Home Premium) will not let me install anything... ?

  Okay, so I recently bought a laptop... About two weeks ago now, I think that... It's a Dell Studio 17, and it runs on Windows Vista Edition Home Premium. So far, I had a lot of problems to install programs on it. When I tried to install AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) it wouldn't download; I finally managed to do install via the start menu somehow...
  BUT now LENS won't let me sign... but that's another story! lol - the real thing that worries me is not able to install games. I just bought the Sims 3 and after inserting the disc, choose a language and a count of the wizard InstallShield, once I have access to the license agreement page and click on 'I agree' and click 'Next' an error message pops up saying something about impossible to install. He has a huge long error code and I don't know what that means. At first, I thought there was something wrong with the drive, so I went back to the store and exchanged it for a new one. When I got home and tried to install it again, it's the same thing. Then I tried to install another game that I have (Zoo Tycoon - Zookeeper edition) just to see if any game would work... It's the same thing; before he actually started to install an error message came. The first error message said something to have an invalid character in some way... ? ! (no idea...) Then an other error message pops up something else I didn't really...
  So, as you can see, there must be something wrong with my laptop. PLEASE HELP SOMEONE. I would appreciate advice...!

  Hello

   
   
  
  1. which Microsoft Fixit did you?

  2 have you installed new hardware or software before the show?

  3. who is the antivirus installed on the computer program?

  4 update you are trying to install?

  5. are you logged on as administrator on the computer?

  
  If this isn't the case, I suggest you to log on as an administrator and check for the issue.
   
  Method 1:
  One of the other reason for the 80070005 error is caused by software running on your computer security.
  Temporarily disable the security software on the computer and see if that makes a difference.
  Disable the anti-virus software
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
   
  Method 2:
  I suggest you perform the steps described in the article:
  Error: 0x80070005 when you try to install updates by using Microsoft Update or Windows Update
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/968003
  This problem may occur if access is denied when accessing or copying files during the process of Windows Update or Microsoft Update. Access may be denied if you have logged on to the computer as a standard user and this account does not have permission to install updates. I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.
  
  Method 3:
  Perform a clean boot, and then check if it helps.

  AFTER YOU INSTALL SERVICE PACK 1 FOR WINDOWS VISTA, MY COMPUTER WILL NOT START SAYS UNATTENDED, DLL

  Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

   

  Restore point:

  http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

  Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  http://www.windowsvistauserguide.com/system_restore.htm

  Read the above for a very good graph shows how backward more than 5 days in the System Restore Points by checking the correct box.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If the system or Mode restore safe work not and you do not have a Microsoft Vista DVD, make 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.

  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:

  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.

  See you soon.

  Someone can tell me why Windows 7 will not let me install my camera, worked very well in Visa, any help out there?

  Original title: Kodak Digital Camera C875

  The best way to manage old cameras that have compatibility problems is not to connect the camera to the computer, but rather to remove the memory card from the camera and use a desktop card reader to make transfers.

  If your computer lacks a built-in card reader, you can buy very cheap () USB card readers
