Installer Just Hangs At The Splash Screen
Jun 12, 2008
I've been trying to install my audio recording software(Cubase) but the installer just hangs at the splash screen before I can do anything.It used to install fine on my XP machine and it's said to be compatible with Vista.I'm on a q6600 with 4gb of ram and running Home premium.Running it with xp compatibility mode doesn't work and neither does running it with admin rights(I'm on admin account anyway).I also tried it with UAC off.But it works on my friend's dell xps laptop with vista home premium, installs and runs fine.Doesn't hang on the installer splash screen.Naturally this made me think it was due to my hardware BUT I actually got the installer working in vista home premium under MS Virtual pc 2007.I've also tried booting up into safe mode and trying it to no avail.

How do you change the splash screen, ?
When it boots up, the Acer splash comes up preceeded by a brief flash like a safe mode setup, can not see what it says it happens very quickly, then the windows logo comes up then the desktop.Do you have to change bios settings , if so how?
Vista Home Premium 32 bit, Athlon x2 Amd 64 4600, 2 g ram, BIOS

I've been trying for weeks to get Sims 2 running. Everything goes fine till its half way loaded on the splash screen, then it crashes. I think it's a problem with my graphics card, has anyone got the same card [Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family] and can run the Sims 2?

So my friend's computer tried downloading Service Pack 1 and it failed during the process and now every time Vista loads to start up it goes right to a blue screen. And when I put in a CD/DVD it will show the black screen and load the CD/DVD but after it loads it goes straight to the boot process. Even after I disabled the HDD from being loaded in the bios. Also, there is no option to run under safe mode. Just setup, system recovery, and boot process pop up before Vista starts to load. I should also mention that nothing other than setup will actually do anything.

I have Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 on Dell Inspiron 1525. It used to work fine, but recently when we tried to reboot, it hangs at black screen. I tried to open "Advanced Boot Options" menu by pressing F8, but still it doesn't show any menu and hangs at black screen. I also tried to boot the computer by inserting the Windows Vista SP1 CD but still no luck. It also hangs at black screen. how to get into Safe mode or to "Last known good configuration" option, to atleast try something.

Toshiba Satellite vista home prem.sp2 32. 4GigRam 1.90bios
Ihave read all the posts in as many threads as i can find related to this issue and they seem to identify the utility chkdsk problems of some sort. I think my problem is not related to that and happens during the initial splash screen with the Toshiba/AMD on it with the solid bar that used to speed across the screen that now hangs, stalls or whatever at a point beyond half way. It can stay there for minutes and I dont know why. I have checked all the logs,events and the like and find no issues the diagnostics from toshiba and micro both come out fine. i use the couple of aftermarket utilities as well to find no problem but it does take loads of time. If it did it all the time I would wonder but this will zip across and move on to the next screen with the moving lights microsoft screen some times. It used to be the other way round; stall infrequently. I dont know what would be a worthwhile use of time to fix this if it needs to be fixed. It will take maybe 2 or 3 re boots to get all the icons to line up in the tray as well after one of these protracted boot up experiences. I dont know what to eliminate or bring back to the start up lineup. If I go the safe mode, it , of course, loads up like a jet. Something is going on there but I dont know what it is and would like any information someone with more experience and wisdom than I have can provide. and a fix if need be.

I have a new computer with Vista HP x64. I have a problem somewhere which is stopping a successful boot - the screen hangs following the 'PCI Devices Listing...'. I have tried to re-boot from the original installation CD and I can hear the disk whirring but then it stops and boot-up simply hangs.
I want to go back to square one and re-format my hard disk and start again, but I don't know how to do this, because I don't know how to move past the point at which the boot stalls.

I am attempting to re-load my Vista Home Premium 64 bit and I am stuck, I have gone through most of the process until just after it copies all files, installs features and updates etc. It then restarts and it then hangs on a black screen with the message 'Please wait while windows sets up your computer'. But nothing happens no matter how long I leave it. There is no sign of activity.

whenever i download an .exe program or .msi installer vista shows: iTunes installer for example, but occurs with all downloaded files. However programs i already had on my hdd install fine. I have not yet had time to test a 64 bit native app to see if it installs fine, but all the programs i try and fail to run once downloaded are on the compatibility list.

Anybody having as I am problems with eSATA devices since installing SP1? My eSATA drives show in the BIOS boot screen but hangs on the Vista drivers loading bard or just beyond on the black screen before the Windows logo. If I restart without the eSATA device connected/powered up Vista loads normally and if I then switch on/plug in the eSATA drive it is not recognised by windows anywhare. I have looked in disk management in the admin folder and the drive is not there.

I am using Windows Vista Business. I recently bought and successfully downloaded Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro, however, the installation is always stopped by the error code 1719: "Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if Windows Installer is not installed properly. Contact your support personnel for assistance." In addition, I can't UN-INSTALL anything either.

I removed an old copy of Word (XP Professional) in preparation for theinstallation of Office Home. Now, whenever I do almost anything,the windows installer keeps popping up, looking for the XP Pro disk (andPRO.MSI in particular.)
I can no longer locate that old XP disk, and now I cannot install the newversion! I tried removing some references to Office 10 in the registry,but that didn't help. How can I remove the constant "nagging" and install the new software?

In trying to install Java 6 u18 I started getting the message. THIS ACTION ONLY VALID FOR PRODUCTS CURRENTLY INSTALLED At that point Java, which had always worked, stopped working. After reading this forum I downloaded the Windows Install Cleanup and removed the Java 6 u18 from the list of installed products.
Java does not appear in the Control Panel under Programs, the registry has no Java 6.18 remnants I can see and Java does not appear in the Windows Install Cleanup list. Yet when I re-download Java, as soon as the install starts it says

I m trying to install AVG, and I was receiving installer issues. I approached other Tech sites and was told to use a program, basically now I cannot install any program, and I receive the error concerning windows installer... "The Windows Installer could not be accessed" I attempted re-install the installer on the Microsoft website, but it gave me the "Not enough memory to process this action"
I've spent countless hours troubleshooting and yeah... I'm just tired of it. Preferably I'd restore to a previous system restore point, but I get the memory error with that... so yeah, no luck with anything.

I have a new HP computer and recently every time I boot up the computer, a windows installer window pops-up and tried to install a program (it doesn't state the program name) but stops at the stage when it searches for an installation CD, as I don't have the computer's installation CD (the computer comes with no installation CD and all installation info is backed-up in the secured drive D). How do I get rid of this pop-up ? I have tried using windows installer cleanup utility but as I don't know which program windows installer is trying to install, I don't know which one to delete from the list of programs displayed in the cleanup utility. What would happen if I remove all programs from the windows installer cleanup utility list ?

I have a fairly slow broadband connection (1 mbps) but barely good enough for downloading Vista SP2. However, considering efficiency and reliability, would I be better off downloading the standalone installer (using another faster connection elsewhere) and bringing the download on a flash drive to my computer? Is this standalone installer much bigger, containing irrelevant stuff, than what Windows Update would eventually supply me with (since I'm current with all previous updates)?

i am running Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit on a custom built PC (Info at bottom). The problem is that there was an issues with the PC and some OS files were corrupted causing problems with Vista. I have tried to load the vista install boot DVD to do a system restore or a clean install of vista but for some reason it cannot boot from the dvd drive. Now i have tried everything i can think of. I have changed the priorities of the boot devices so it boots the DVD drive first however it seems to just ignore it. the drive powers up and reads and whatnot but it doesnt boot the cd it just loads from the HD.
When i remove all the boot list items and leave just the DVD drive as the boot option i get a screen saying insert boot media/disk and press any key to continue. Upon doing that the message just appears again. I have checked the hardware. everythings connected properly and tightly. I even stripped the system down to only the Mobo, CPU, Video Card, HD and dvd drive are in and still nothing. I have installed Vista from this cd on another machine and on 2 different hard drives in this machine in the past. 1 install was about a week ago. i have even tried using a windows XP boot disk and still it doesnt boot from the dvd drive. The DVD drive works perfectly with no problems when the OS is running. I can read and burn cd/dvd and play music and games on it. Recognizes it as a vista install disk as well when the os is running.....

I am using Vista Business 64bit on a Mac Pro. This is my first time ever using Windows so it's taking me some time to get use to how it works. This is my computer and I am the only person who works on it. I have downloaded and installer application that I do not want to use. So I tried to delete it but I keep getting the message "you need permission to perform this action". How can I delete this?

I Hope someone can assist me with a problem that is driving me to distraction. My PC runs Vista Home Premium and has not caused me many problems since I sorted out the installation issues. However since I installed Roxio Creator 2009 a month or so ago I have had lots of problems. I am now troubled by a Windows Installer problem. When I start up I get a series of messages flagging up starting with "preparing to install" followed by "please wait whilst windows configures the destination" then by "the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again or enter an alternative path to a path containing the installation package'status m s i' in the box below" the box below contains a file name as follows "c:user ALANSM~1AppDatalocal emp7zs9ED" This series of messages keeps repeating for 5 or more times every time I cancel it. I thought it may have been caused by Roxio so I tried to uninstall. Roxio would not uninstall however. The wizard starts but then I get a message saying "setup encountered an error during installation 'Error Code 04C7" then the wizard shuts down leaving Roxio intact.

I am trying to download the windows installer 3.1 but it keeps saying unable to download because not enough storage or something. Now I tried these steps below suggested by another site but it didn't work for me
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
CurrentControlSet
Services
LanmanServer
Parameters
IRPStackSize DWORD (15)
This above has not worked for me. I have a 64bit vista under parameters they have dword which is for 32bit and qword for 64bit I chose qword but i was not able to type in IRPStactSize so I'm stuck. I just bought a pc to tv software and the requirements to watch it is that I have to have the latest media player 11 which I already have and the latest real player which I already have and .NET framework 2.0 which I already have and you have to have windows installer 3.1 which I do not have. This is the only thing preventing me from watching my pc to tv software. So can somebody help me download this windows installer 3.1 onto my 64bit machine.
