  • Several errors when trying to install ANY software.

    For the last few weeks I had several problems when trying to install the software PC games, software, whether antivirus or other software with an .exe installer. A host of mistakes will jump to the top which prevents me to carry out (or) the installation process.

    For example:
    When you try to install Avast Antivirus I get - "an error 31 (0000001F) occurred." "Done last operation was: temp directory.
    When you try to install Microsoft Security Essentials I get - "can't find a volume for the extraction of the file. Make sure you have the appropriate permissions. »
    When you try to install SUPERAntiSpyware I get - "the installation failed. Error reading configuration data. »
    When you try to install League of Legends or some other players Setup is not yet open. Nothing happens.
    When you try to install another game I had - "Setup could not create the directory"C:\Users\owner\AppData\Local\Temp\is-I1SGM.tmp"
    These errors occur when I run the .exe as administrator or not, in SafeMode with networking or not. It seems to be a problem with a temporary folder, the permissions of the user or something like that. Would someone kindly help me out here? I uninstalled MSE before moving to Avast yesterday, but now I can not install MSE or Avast so I'm stuck with no antivirus. Help!

    Hello

    I'm sorry that BootMedic did not work for you. I figured that if you can download it, there is the live CD when you it burned to a disc. But if you can't do that much, I'm afraid that the only solution is to reinstall Windows 7 directly, for example, of your hidden partition or DVD of Windows system, depending on what you have.

    Back up your data and programs for an external drive or USB flash drive and go from there. Do you know how to do a clean install of Windows, or do you need me to walk you through it? If you need help I need to know your computer type, brand and model, and if you have a partition system or DVD disc.

    Yet once, my apologies that it didn't work and I would like to know if not how can I help in the recovery process.

    Kind regards

  • Error while trying to upgrade to Vista SP1

    Well, I know this is an old topic with lots of KB articles, but I couldn't find anything to get my installation to work. For some reason any automatic updates offered never upgrade when it is released - this may have been due to my Dell audio player that I've changed since. I have downloaded the manual installation of Microsoft version and ran the installation. The green bar got all the way to the end before crashing with an internal error.

    Most of the articles suggest that I have download the update tool system which I did and also ran. He got about 75% of the green progress bar and then stopped. This has happened a couple of times and now it won't even start running. The window appears but the progress bar does not start moving.

    I really don't want to have to do a clean install and lose all my files. I'm sure there must be a way to solve this problem, but everything I tried (including ongoing execution using a boot Installer Clean and a safe Startup Mode) have not worked. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    How can I do that I really want windows 8.1

    Help, please!

    Hi Özcan,

    This problem could occur due to these reasons.

    1. Damaged the Windows Cache store.
    2. Conflict between third-party applications.

    Have you installed a third-party security software on your computer?

    • Make sure that you have installed the KB2871389 update. Alternatively, you can install all Windows Update available including optional updates.
    • Disconnect all external devices except the keyboard and mouse and check the issue.

    Follow the method mentioned below:

    Method 1:

    If you have installed a third-party security software, I suggest you to disable them temporarily.

    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:

    That run Windows update convenience store which will automatically fix some common problems with Windows Update.

    a. press Windows + W on the keyboard.

    b. type Troubleshooting in the "search" tab and press enter.

    c. click show all on the left panel.

    d. click on Windows Update, will new popup window.

    e. follow the instructions on the screen.

    Method 3:
    I suggest you to clear the cache to store and check.

    a. press on the key Windows + R.

    b. type wsreset.exe , and then click OK.

    Method 4:
    If the problem persists, I you suggest to start the computer in a clean boot and then try to install Windows 8.1 and check if the problem persists. Clean boot process will help you determine which third party/PPP program that causes this problem.

  • Smartphones from blackBerry Bold 9900 frozen while trying to upgrade

    Hello, I tried to upgrade the software on my 9900.  Have downloaded well.  Once he started to install, the 9900 has frozen 3% backup social RSS.  It has been like that for hours.  I have no use of my phone.  Any suggestions on how to unlock it... What would have caused this... How to solve?  Thank you!

    Bob

    Sometimes just wait it will allow the end of the process.  If it is too long and you lose patience, you can do the following:

    There are methods of recovery for you to try:

    One:

    • Open Blackberry Desktop Software & connect your device with the PC using the USB cable, without inserting the battery.
    • You have three Retry option, update or cancel, and then click Update.
    • Once it is at the stage of the "initialization of pocket" update, then insert the batteries.

    If this does not work, and you get stuck on the safeguarding of social data feeds, go to the second method below.

    Two:

    • Connect to the BlackBerry Desktop Software and allow handheld to connect. If you are prompted to update, cancel the upgrade for later.
    • IF you can not connect or your desktop software does not recognize your device in Mode safe, please follow the instructions here to force detection: the ID Article: KB10144 how to force detect the BlackBerry smartphone using the Application Loader
    • Go to device > delete > SELECT DATA > select this option to remove the Social flow and smart card data bases and follow the rest invites you to complete.

    Now, you can go back and click to update the device through the Desktop Manager, or restart the BlackBerry in normal mode and continue on the upgrade of the air.

  • While trying to upgrade from Windows ME to Windows XP, you receive error - i386\WIN9XUPG\W95UPG. DLL.

    I want to upgrade a Compaq Presario 17XL360 Windows ME to Windows XP Professional, but no other solution I tried other forums worked to resolve the error message about missing file i386\WIN9XUPG\W95UPG. DLL. I don't have Roxio Easy CD Creator installed (a possible cause) and I tried end task on all except Windows Explorer and Systray (another recommended solution). I read that can be installed with 64 MB of RAM, I have, so I want to try to solve this problem without having to install more RAM, as I am trying to upgrade this computer at a lower cost to make a donation to a member of the family abroad.

    Thanks for your suggestion! You will see above, I tried but I didn't have the Roxio Easy CD Creator software in my computer. However, I found the solution. My mistake was trying to install Windows XP Professional as an upgrade, which did not.

    So I finally found a suggestion online that does not work.
    (1) I rebooted and selected "Press any key to boot from the CD" (something like that!) and installed Windows XP Pro as a new program.
    (2) I followed the instructions in the readme file, and when I got to the question of the partitions, I deleted the two existing partitions (one was where the old Windows ME operating system, and the other was a program 'system'.
    (3) after the removal of two partitions, I created a new one, following the instructions written in the installer and install Windows XP without problem.
    (4) Note: when trying to install XP as an upgrade and get the error above concerning the missing file and the cancellation, the computer still gave me the option to click "install". I tried a few times and each time, he told me that my product key is not valid. However, when I installed it as a new program, all installed easily and he accepted my product key invalid. So people, don't believe the message 'invalid' immediately, you can also have a valid product key.

    BUT I'll have to give in and buy more RAM, because I had only 64 MB and I need 256. Evidence? My first installation of the Norton Antivirus software, and then it was slowing my computer to a crawl. I'm trying to uninstall it now, and it takes a long time. Tomorrow I'll determine exactly what to buy and install.

    I hope this helps others solve this error - the support person level 2 Tech I contacted HP support earlier told me that they have the expertise to solve the problem. You can do it!
