The installer/uninstaller fails either when it tries to open the wizard or just after the wizard opens. I trying to install the windows installer cleanup, but that wouldn't install either. I have tried FRevo Uninstaller and CCcleaner, but they can't get it down either.

Mar 23, 2008I am presently using 96SE. my ISP no longer supports this version as do some programs....my unit is not powerful enough for either xp or vista I am in my eighties and some of my colleagues tell me that vista has a pretty high learning curve, have found both windows 95 and 95se very user friendly. I can get a new unit from Dell loaded with either XP or Vista, i would like to keep current but do not want to become overwhelmed by new technology. I am not a power user but did not find the older window operating system too challenging, the tasks i presently perform are pretty basic my question is given my age and experience level could i handle Vista or should i opt for the XP version.

Why is the Explorer window showing different filenames than the command line window? It's not so much of an issue, as I'm currently completing a scheduled backup of this drive using Nero Burning ROM, and will be formatting it soon.

View 4 Replies View RelatedShut Window, "WINDOW Is Not Properly Shut Down"
Apr 3, 2008About 40% of the time when I either choose HIBERNATE or the standard SHUT DOWN, the computer just keeps on running. Although it seems WINDOW has shut down, the "ON" light is still on and I can hear the fan running. When this happens I am left with no other option but to use the "emergency shut down" method - pressing the ON button for more than 4 seconds (ASUS laptop, using Vista Home Premium). Presumably this method would damage the computer in some ways in the long run?
I assume WINDOW is shut down because the next time when I turn on the computer it doesn't say the "WINDOW is not properly shut down". So can any kind souls please help me with this annoying problem of turning off the computer completely?

Apr 24, 2008I have Ultimate 32 bit that can't be upgraded to 64 bit because it is OEM. Can I leave it installed on one partition and then install Vista Business 64 bit on another partition, running both versions on the same PC? I already have the 64 bit Business which is why I'm asking.

May 3, 2008My PC came with Vista Home Premium 32bit. Since SP1 was released, I've tried several times to install it both through Windows Update and manually but it always fails.I looked at the information in the nowledgebase article about the error message I was getting and it suggested running a system scan utility through the command line interface which I did. The utility said that it fixed some files but I had corrupted files that it was not able to repair.I went out and bought an upgrade version of Vista Home Premium that contained SP1 thinking I could just upgrade it as a workaround. No dice,the upgrade option is disabled unless you already have SP1 installed. It will only let me do a clean install.This brings me to my first question. If I do the clean install, it's going to format my HD right? I'll have to reinstall all my software? My second question is, does anybody know how I can get SP1 to install on my current installation? Any way to find and repair those supposedly corrupt files?

Mar 23, 2008I had been running Vista since it came out last year with no compatible issues at all. However, there were several issues with performance and finally late last year I gave up and went back to XP. Now that the SP1 is available, I want to go back and install Vista, but for some reason, my computer won't recognize the disc. It trys, but just can't load it. I've tried other DVDs and have burned a couple and they all work fine. For whatever reason, the problem is with the Vista DVD.

Aug 29, 2009I just found these forums and now hope that you may be able to help me out with a very perculiar problem I'm having.I use Windows Vista, and have done so without any major problem. That is, until now.Whenever I try to install a software from a CD/DvD or a downloaded file, it will give me an error. If I use a downloaded setup program, it tells me the file is corrupt. It does so with every file, even ones I've had no problems with before. The same happens when I try to install through my DvD Drive. It tells me that it cannot read the installation right away.This problem occured only a week ago, when my hard drive suddenly went defect. I turned off my computer and went away from a good six hours, came back, and then my hard drive had apparently died in the meantime. I sent it to get it repaired, and it was determined that the hard drive was defect, and they had given me a new one. Alright, awesome. I install Windows Vista without problems (except some error I can't remember when it tried to update Vista during the installation, That is when I got the before-mentioned problem about installing software. I had no issues installing the drivers needed for my motherboard's network card. But anything else turns out to give me some kind of error.I have never seen anything like this, and cannot possibly begin to determine what's wrong. It happened also when I put in a different hard drive as the boot device before I sent the computer in to be repaired, so I'm quite positive that it's the machine, and not Windows Vista. I somehow suspect my motherboard to have been affected by the hard drive that suddenly went defect.

Corrupt Installation?
Sep 22, 2008I've been having some trouble with my installation of Vista today. It had been running without a hitch for nearly a year. I think the problem started since Windows was taking a long time to shut down, I assumed (wrongly perhaps) that it had frozen, and so I forced it to shutdown by holding the power button for 5 seconds. Another possible cause could be I plugged in a USB joystick (driver conflict?).
When I started my PC back up I noticed things seemed to be running very slowly at times, as if the system was having trouble accessing some files. I scheduled a Disk Check and restarted. It found and fixed some errors, brought me into my desktop, and then a pop up kept appearing in the bottom right tool bar saying '*.exe could not be accessed' and something about a folder named '$Secure'. My browser bookmarks wouldn't load, for example. I restarted again and this time during startup the green loading bar would run its course, and then a black screen and a cursor appeared, rather than the Vista logon screen. I booted off my Vista DVD and ran Startup Repair. It found and fixed some errors but I still have the black screen problem. I also ran another Disk Check, as well as some HDD diagnostic software - it said everything was fine. When I try running Startup Repair again, it tells me it doesn't see any errors and to remove any recently added hardware (I have). I'm stuck at this point. I would like to repair (upgrade) my installation of Vista, but I need to be able to get into a working install in the first place to do that.
