Windows XP with Virtual PC mode will not be installed / two problems
Hello!
I have Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) and I want to follow the instructions here:
to install and run Virtual PC so I can see if some legacy XP software I have will work.
FYI, I use a Lenovo W520 laptop with an i7 to 2.4 ghz with 8 GB of RAM.
I followed step 1/2 and downloaded the file of 500 MB for Windows XP Mode. I installed it.
: #1 there is a note at the bottom of the page that says "once you have installed Windows XP Mode, click the Windows 7 start button, then select all programs > Windows Virtual PC > Windows XP Mode to begin the installation." For more information about how to configure Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode, see "Running Windows XP Mode with Windows Virtual PC" on page Support and videos . "
I am looking at the view of all programs and there is absolutely nothing that says "Windows Virtual PC" or "Windows XP Mode". I look at the programs and features in the control panel and indeed, Windows XP mode is installed (and taking up 1.13 GB). I have uninstall and re-download the 500 MB file and reinstall it. It is not always appear in the sight of all programs, does not add an icon to my bar quick launch or desktop or anything that suggests a way to start. It is located in C:\Program Files\Windows XP Mode, but there is no executable file it.
Problem #2: Step 3 says "Download Windows Virtual PC". When I click on this button, the download starts, but never works (I tried several times, notably after a clean reboot, with nothing other than the execution of Internet Explorer); I get an error window that says:
Windows Update Standalone install
Setup has encountered an error: 0 x 80070422
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices is associated to him.
What's not?
Thank you.
Notes; After the announcement of this issue, some Associates questions skipped upward and I read through them. Points of a post on this forum-> http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/8247-windows-xp-mode-install-setup.html , which suggests that the #2 problem is my problem because I followed along until ste #5-E and then I get the error message 0 x 80070422.

I bought the Windows Anytime Upgrade, but the software will not be installed.
Help... I bought the Windows Anytime Upgrade on Microsoft Office software to my Vista laptop, but the software will not be installed. Operation message is not supported on this platform. How to get around the facility? I have the product key number, but can not get so far to enter.
I think that you bought the right product. Updates at any time are for the upgrade edition of Windows 7 to a more expensive edition. This isn't what you need to upgrade a Vista system to Windows 7. While Vista upgrades are no longer available from the Microsoft Store.
I suggest that you return to the Microsoft Store site and use the contact methods to discuss your problem with an agent.

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

Premiere Pro CS6 is a 64-bit software and will only install on a 64-bit computer. There is no way around that.

Original title: extended error code = Oxfof4
I have a couple of different symptoms. My laptop acts like it doesn't even have wireless capabilities although the exact model the same sitting next to her was a strong wireless signal (I still had internet capability on this laptop also). In addition, my windows update will not be installed. I checked "Event Viewer" in system tools and have all sorts of errors. Error service Control Manager, "Warning b57w2k", code error Windows Update Agent and more. Still, the laptop doesn't move and accesses files, but no internet. I scanned with AVG and Malwarebytes 0 infection. Uugh! Any suggestions?
Many laptops have a switch that turns on or off the wireless radio. This can be a physical switch somewhere on the laptop or a combination of the Fn key and one of the F keys. Read the user manual for the laptop for more details.
The warning includes "b57w2k" seems to be linked to a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller (not wireless, wired). You can click the copy (just below the up/down arrows) on the property sheet for the event and paste the content in your next post here.
In general, the report that you have 'all kinds of errors' in Event Viewer is not very useful. We do not understand what you're watching.

I have laptop HP Pavilion dv7-1260. When I put in a blu - ray disc I'm propmted to get an update. Even with the update, it will not play a blu ray.
Hello
· What is the update message that you receive?
· Do you have an error message when you try to read the Blu - ray Disc?
· This problem occurs only with Blu ray discs or any of the others?
To play a Blu - ray disc, you must use a non-Microsoft program that supports Blu - ray playback and a device that can play Blu - ray discs.

* Original title: Microsoft kb3134214
The update of Microsoft Windows KB3134214 file is suspended and will not be, nor finish the rest downloads to install. I downloaded the updated individual security file. I'll wait to install pending a possible resolution here. If anyone has experienced this problem and has a resolution, I would be grateful to receive information and repair.
Hi Nathalie,.
Thanks for the reply and the link to the article. I appreciate it. While I was not having trouble to download updates, it was one of the update of the files froze during installation. I had gel resulting set before your answer.
I'm not sure what I did to fix it, but the installed annoying file itself. Here are the steps I took to learn that annoying file has been installed:
"I restarted my computer.
"then stop it showed that he was trying to install the file again
"I hit the reset button on my machine.
"My machine is restarted, I received the message that my machine was not correctly stop and choose Safe mode or start normally.
"I chose boot normally.
"Somewhere during the start-up, something installed or flashed a message
"My system automatically restarted by itself.
"On my screen, my computer displays a message saying it was set up my system.
'My computer restarted again
"Back to my login screen, I had a repeat of the previous message from my computer's configuration.
"After that over, I arrived at my office
"I've manually run Windows Update
"After Windows Update, I checked the files available, disabled the original file in question and click the button install.
"These files correctly installed and gave a message requesting to restart."
"I rebooted my system manually.
"Back in my office, I manually tried to install the file in question.
"It gave me a message that it was already installed.
How he installed himself is a mystery. Other than on the first attempt to update my machine, it has NEVER included in my another attempt to update. Anyway, my machine is purring along as if nothing had happened.
You can mark my question.
Thanks for your help,
Robert
