• Installation service Windows Vista stop working

  I'm running a Dell XPS ONE 2010 with Vista Home Premium SP2 2009.  About two years ago, I noticed that Windows Installer has stop working and I could not install Microsoft programs or uninstall most programs, was able to load 3rd programs like Turbotax, but could not uninstall them.  I bought a Microsoft Expression Web software and had to pay MS $100 to load.  MS uninstalled Office 2007, cleaned Windows, install Expression Web and reinstalled Office 2007.  When Ms. Load Expression Web, they advised me to use Revo Uninstaller which may be required to work. because the normal MS uninstaller does not work I can not install any MS programs like the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor or other software from Ms.  When installed MS Expression Web, they said that they could not fix the failure of the installer without a custom reinstall of Vista, I chose not to.  Strangely, the MS Windows updates work fine.

  In the last three months, I have read and tried all of the suggestions of MS to fix this problem without success.  The installation failure message is "the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.  This can occur if Windows Installer is not correctly installed... »

  Now I want to install new software to create a web site, but it will not be installed.  I bought the Windows 7 Upgrade Home Premium package but it fails with the message of my computer is not compatible with Windows 7.  I suspect that the upgrade fails because the installation Service fails.
  I don't want to do a custom installation of Windows 7 because of the work required to reinstall all my software.
  Any recommendations for restoring the installation Service will be appreciated, if this isn't the right forum for this problem, please let me know.
  Thank you, Bruce in a magical forest.

  You can try to run a SFC scan and check.

  You can refer to the method-the System File Checker tool in the following article:

• Windows Media Player 11 has STOPPED WORKING... XP AND Vista problems

  I have a home network with computers XP and Vista.   Computer XP is Dell Dimension 4600.  Vista computer is HP Pavilion Slimline.

  On or about 6/10, WMP 11 on the Vista computer has stopped working properly.  Video will not play digital video (mpeg format), previously working but playing the audio from the file and the timer updates the video plays.

  Attempt to update the codecs (K-Lite).  Didn't help... now, the native multimedia player K-Lite is the same way.

  Deleting updates 6/10 and later versions.  No change.

  System restore of flowing it at 6/9, 6/5, 6/4.  Restoration is back with "unexpected error".  The logs show a NTFS corrupted and suggested chkdsk run.  Filled with chkdsk c: /R with NO ERRORS.

  Ran SFC/scannow on Vista machine.  He said "no violation of integrity.

  Today (6/14), WMP 11 on XP machine has stopped working.  Videos will be running, but are extremely hectic, like something, it's stealing time CPU; However, the system idle process is higher than 90%.

  What the hell is happening?

  EDIT TO add: I want to stress something else... Movie Maker on both machines still work.  Videos can be imported into and read correctly.

  I had things market... Finally.

  I have none of the above.  I do not have the installation diskettes (OEM on a computer HP... no disks provided with the machine, have only the recovery disks that I made when I configured the system).

  So until I went looking for a set of discs that I use, I did the following... and I * think * I know I could fix it, but I do not know...

  I have re installed the K-Lite codec pack... only of video codecs.  I essentially took the video installation by default EXCEPT... I turned off video acceleration.  Intel Express Chipset not allow me to disable hardware acceleration by using its own GUI and Windows Vista would not touch parameters of acceleration as Intel ordered to them.  Well, I suppose that K-Lite has been able to do what could not do Windows and Intel wouldn't let me do.

  Don't know if that was the fix or not, but everything works now.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• Windows Movie Maker 6.0 Vista immediately stops working when you try to open.

  Hello!

  I've been all around the internet trying to solve this problem, but nothing has worked so far.  When I try to start Windows Movie Maker 6.0 for Vista, (in general), it stops working at their opening saying the following:

  "Windows Movie Maker has stopped working".

  There has been a few times when it actually opens and I can work on my videos, however, it's very, very, rare and seems to happen randomly.

  I tried to open in safe mode, but it still fails to open.  I also tried to open .avi short and simple with WMM 6.0 files to see if it will be open, but that, generally, does not either.

  Once, I was able to open random and I have disabled all the filters on the Compatibility tab and temporarily activated only video filters that I needed.  That seemed to fix the problem for several days, and I could open Movie Maker 6.0 several times.  Sometimes it would freeze everything and save, or stop working when importing video files, but at least it would be open.  I was able to record some videos.  After a few days, my computer day and WMM 6.0 is more open more.  I don't know if yes or no update is the reason why Movie Maker 6.0 started crashing again, but it was the only thing that has changed on my computer while I could uncheck the Compatibility tab filters and open WMM 6.0. [Could uncheck all filters to be part of the problem?]

  I usually works with .mov files, and I read on how this type of file sometimes causes problems with Windows Movie Maker.  However, the problem normally occurs when I try to open the program (and if WMM opens, I can very well change .mov files).  I do not think that the file type is causing the crash, but I guess that's always a possibility...

  I also read that sometimes Windows Movie Maker 6.0 for vista doesn't work with all computers that have vista installed, and Windows Movie Maker 2.6 must be used to place.  Windows Movie Maker 2.6 is working fine on my computer, but it cannot change the .mov files, or record in HD.  I had horribly degrading the quality of the video with the conversions of files to use WMM 2.6.  Windows Movie Maker 6.0 is much better, on the rare occasions that it works.  Do you think I should use Windows Movie Maker 2.6 now?

  Here are two problem reports that appear more often when you try to open Windows Movie maker 6.0.  The window of support almost always said I need to update my computer again (even if there is no new update), or that it is a problem of security Data Execution Prevention.  Windows Movie Maker cannot be added to the list of exceptions to Data Execution Prevention, or I can check to see if the filters from the Compatibility tab are always disabled in the program, I don't know how to solve this problem...

  Very often, but not always, Code exception: c0000005 is a permissions access error, so have you tried right-clicking on the MM shortcut or .exe and selecting the option "Run As Administrator"?  Other times a reinstallation of the program crash can fix.  As you can not do with Movie Maker the next best option is to try the System File Checker.

• Vista: All Windows updates suspended / "Module of Windows Installer has stopped working and Will Close."

  On my installation of Vista, all windows updates no longer work.  If I try and run them from Windows Update in Control Panel one starts to run but then it just hangs.  At the same time, I get a message "Windows install Module has stopped working and closes".  If you look in the services, it is crushed, but restarts.  The update remains always hung.  It doesn't matter what update I try and run, I always get the same result.

  When the computer is shut down, it also tries to automatically install updates.  These also hang on the first, which means that I have to force power off the computer.

  Don't know if this is related, but I don't think that SP2 already installed - it kept if crush (don't remember what was the error message).  When I restart in safe mode it tells me that I'm still on SP1.  I followed all the suggestions on how to get SP2 installed for the error I received, but nothing has worked.

  Do not really understand what I have really installed a lot of "_" on the PC, it is a "clean" installation (about 1 year now).

  Any ideas?  Really, I don't want to have to do a re-install, but I suspect that is where I'm heading unfortunately.

  Hi AndrewInNZ,

  Thanks for visiting the site of the community of Microsoft Windows!
   
  I would like to ask you some questions for a better understanding of the issue:
   
  (a) did you try to temporarily disable the security software and check if updates are smooth?
   
  (b) you are using a firewall in addition in instead of the windows firewall? If so disable (temporarily) of the third party firewall and look for updates.
  It is usually caused by a 3rd party firewall that it blocks the internal ports.
   
  Check out WERCON for more information-
   
  1) Click START | wercon.exe type in the search box start and click on enter.
   
  (2) select "View problem history", under 'Windows identified problems' with the right button on a problem, and then select "view problem details. Click "Copy to Clipboard" export to text document
   
  Also reset the Firewall setting:
   
  1) Click START | type FirewallSettings.exe into the start search box | Click on FirewallSettings.exe above | Select the Advanced Settings tab. Click 'Restore Defaults ' | Click on apply (if Hi-lighted) | Click OK

  Check the status of the service as well:

  Log in as administrator-

  Start button | Control Panel | System and Maintenance | Administration tools

  Double-click on Services

  (Provide the administrator password or a confirmation if prompted to do so.)

  Right click on the 'Windows Modules Installer' service, and then select Properties.

  Select the general tab - make sure that the startup type is manual

  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• Capacity wireless suddenly stopped working after an update of Windows Vista.

  Feature WiFi suddenly stopped working after a windows vista updated.  Wireless switch is engaged, but stays yellow that messeges troubleshooting all say computer does not detect wireless devices.  It's as if someone pulled the unit and the antenna of the portable computer.  I also downloaded the wireless drivers and Setup several times without success.  Wireless device appears in the Device Manager page.  The only thing that is showing and work is the cable which is how I can download the drivers and appear on this forum.  Is it possible that the wireless device is broken?  All applicable lights are lit on the networking modem, no signal is detected on the computer, I have concluded that the wireless on the laptop is just inop.  Either way, I have a Compaq Presario F700 laptop.  All the options out there?  Thank you

  original title: can't find the wireless device

  Hello again, Kathy,

  More specific instruction, I can give to check settings in the BIOS of your system is to search for a list of devices that installed your laptop. There are only two options for each device, activate them and deactivate them.
  Look for something listed as network radio or wireless card and make sure that it is set to enable.
  The option that you network adapter found can also control the wireless adapter, but it can control only the plug adapter (Ethernet) network.
  A simpler solution, if you have not already tried it it is the system restore in Windows as mentioned by Kiran in a previous answer:

• Windows Vista stops working in iTunes as soon as he plays the first track when importing from CD (APPCRASH). Help!

  Windows Vista has stopped working error back in iTunes as soon as it reads in the first track when importing CD and must close the program (APPCRASH). I uninstalled and reinstalled a newer version of iTunes (currently empty) several times. Also, ran the CD diagnostics in iTunes and seems OK. I'm on Vista Home Premium Edition. If it helps, I saved the CD Diagnostics in ITunes and the Windows APPCRASH info. I spend several hours of research and try to understand it. Any ideas?

  Thank you for your response. I actually solved this suddenly. I've had my laptop plugged into a port replicator to access devices. I decided to try to unplug, restart and try again. It worked! Do not know why the replicator program caused crash but it seems to work...

  You have been SCAMMED.

  The real name is called... Microsoft Security Essentials.
  The program is FREE.

  Here is the link to download MSE, Microsoft Security Essentials:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-CA/security_essentials/default.aspx

  UNINSTALL any "windows key vista (version)" you have, if you don't find in your application programs and features.
  You said "the vista version just disappered ', I hope that this is the case.

  What do you mean now "two days ago the first security essentials has begun to download again"?
  How?
  You started the download and installation, or he did in itself?

  What made this 'thing' called?
