I am going to be up grading to Windows 7, so I want to keep all my emails and contacts in my windows live mail client. Where can I find those files? I have tried to export my messages to an external HD. When I access the hd each folder has my .eml files and one wlmail.fol file. So I think they are actually there. also when I click on the fill it opens up in my wlmail, but I have spent the whole day trying to export and test an import on multiple computers before intalling win 7 and have failed.. "No messages can be found in this folder or another application is running that has the required files open" yes antivirus and firewalls are off. yes I have latest wlmail.
I have so much work to do that I cannot get to without photoshop, and it's not installing. : My new laptop is running with Vista Home Premium 64 bit, and unfortunately my photoshop 5 installation is saying it is not compatible with it. I have to install photoshop 5 in order to use my photoshop 7 upgrade, I don't know what to do!
i want to install the program nokia software updater, but each time i try to install it this message appears " This instruction at 0x00200065 refrenced memory at 0x00200065. The memory could not be read. Click ok to terminate the program" and it stops the installation. i tried to install other programs and they were installed. i also installed the same program previously 2 months ago, and it was working, i don't know what went wrong.
I get an error message and the game never installs: "Error Number 0x80040702 Description: Failed to load DLL: FirewallInstallHelper: Setup will now terminate"
I have the basic vista home. I'm having trouble installing windows live messenger on it. within 30 secs of running the installer, its aborting (i have been trying it off and on over the span of last 10 hours). i turned off both windows and the third-party firewall. temporary internet files are cleared. never used a dial-up network on this pc. running the installer as an admin (right-clicking on the setup exe file allows you to do that).
I have Windows Vista Home Premium edition. I just purchased a Sprint World Edition Blackberry 8830. I am trying to install the disk on my laptop and at the end of the install I get this message: "1. Failed to install ISKernal Files. Make sure you have appropriate privileges on this machine."
My machine is not networked. I am the only one who uses it. Sprint and Blackberry support do not have this error message and say it must be Microsoft. And of course I am a month beyond my 90-day free support.
I have installed Microsoft Office 2007 SP2 from windows update...but i have a question....How can i delete this ''failed message'..not updates..only 'fail message'' from update history..look at this
I am running Vista on a Dell XPS 420. I came home to find both drives failed in a RAID 1 mirror. Dell gave me no help recovering data, but did send two new drives. I have installed Vista on one of the new drives without RAID. I wanted to see if I could recover any files from the failed drives, but I can't seem to get Vista to recognize either of the old drives that were in the failed RAID array. The failed drive does appear during boot up and still shows as part of a failed array. How can I get Vista to recognize the failed drive so that I can then attempt to run file recovery software on it?
I bought vista about 6 months ago, I installed it and everything runs OK. Now i want to have XP AND Vista on the same HDD. I know thats possible with disk partition and i did that but the problem is that i can go further with the installation of my XP home. When i start the installation of XP (press Enter to install XP etc) it asks me to choose a partition, i choose the one i made earlier (25GB of total size). It loads the necesary drivers and it says press enter to reboot(or wait 15 secs to reboot automaticaly). Ok here starts my problem: It reboots, but then i see only a runner and nothing more. ( _ )
i wait for about 5 minutes and it still does nothing, and i dont know what to do. I am forced to fix startup with the Vista installation disk but my XP is not installed. I have searched the bloody web (STFW) and i found nothing, only some data i already knew.You are my last chanse guys. I love XP as much as i love Vista but there is there a way have both OSs without problems?
says you can boot from CD to install Vista 64 however the previous operating system must not be removed prior to install. In my system Win 2k is on a different hard drive than the one I'm installing to. When I start the install process, on the screen where you select the custom option, it says that upgrade is disabled. I assume this means it did not detect my previous OS? I did not continue from this point.
I can install my Win 2k on the hard drive where I wish to install Vista. In the past however, when I had the previous OS on the C: drive and I installed Vista on the same drive Vista would end up on the next available drive letter (i.e. E. Nothing really wrong with this but it's kind of awkward and can't be changed later).
I downloaded Service Pack 1 from the Microsoft website. The installation has gone smoothly up until this point.The screen is stuck on "Installing Service Pack: Stage 3 of 3 - 0% complete. Do not turn off the computer." It's been like this for easily over 2 hours now. It's obvious that it's not doing anything.I just need to know what to do. Do I just power it off? Use some kind of button combination? Or should I just yell at it some more?
after installing cs3 on laptop none of the applications will even open up..except for photoshop in which i just get a grey screen and while waiting for something to happen in that one it says "program not responding". so i am in the process of uninstalling(for over 5 hours now)in hopes that re-installing will solve it.
how long should it take to uninstall and when i re-install it if it still doesn't work what steps should i take. i know the basics but am not overly computer savvy....am getting frustrated with not being able to use the program.
I'll try to install vista ultimate 32 bit in another partition, using partition magic, ok the deal is if i want to uninstall vista ultimate in a future date, how can i fix the MBR? with win XP i used to use fix mbr but dunno with vista :S i'm a newbie with it
I'm heavily considering upgrading to Vista but currently i am running the 64 bit version of XP. According to Microsoft I therefore have to do a completely fresh install to upgrade to Vista, i really really do not want to have to as i want to keep my documents, settings and applications installed. Is there anyway to simple upgrade my copy of windows without having to do a whole new install?
I was looking around these forums and although I came across a number of x64 related problems, but I couldn't find this exact one. To give a run down of my system specs real quick, eVGA 680i, two raptors in RAID 0, two 8800GTs in SLI and 4GB of 1066MHz, and here is the error message I get
I have a Compaq Presario Model no :SR5027UK which came installed with 2 x 512 MB DDR2-SDRAM (PC2-4200 / PC2-4300 / 533 MHz) I recently purchased 2 x 2GB of DDR2-SDRAM (PC2-4200 / PC2-4300 / 533MHz) and tried installing them. They appeared to seat correctly as the clips snapped into place. However when I turned on my PC it would not boot up and was beeping The beeps were one short followed by one long. I have taken out the new RAM and replaced the old RAM and my PC is working again as it was before. This is the first time that I have tried anything like this and I may have done something wrong
I am having problems installing a 2nd hdd into my pc. I know that i have all the right cables. everythings hooked up correctly. Went through BIOS but perhaps I missed a step or steps. I saw the tutorial on here but it didnt really help me. Can someone please walk me through the process? It's a Western Digital SATA hdd. i think the problem might be with my relative unfamiliarity with BIOS and setting the master/slave system up. Also, should I be using two separate, dedicated cords for the hdds or is the doubled lead out from the power source okay? I plan on wiping the hdd i'm installing and using it as separate storage space.

I am upgrading to Mac as part of my business, however, I need to install a win OS so that I can communicate with my office SBS 2003. I would like to use an upgrade product such as XP Pro Upgrade, but the MAC won't install the upgrade, it needs a full version. I only need the Win OS to run some applications and to VPN into the office, and I need to put it on two machines, so installing full version of XP pro or Vista would be expensive for only part time use. I would like to know if I installed Vista Home if this would allow me to VPN into SBS 2003, run apps such as Office 2003 and Adobe CS3.
I downloaded Vista SP2 (Full Package) off Microsoft's site but when I try to install it it get's stuck about half way through and just sits there with no progress for well over a hour. I have been keeping windows updated. My OS is Vista Ultimate 34-bit.
Winamp has a few problems with Vista at the moment and if you install with the normal options then when start you will get an error message.
This is due to the Sonic CD Burning/Ripping part of winamp. So when installing make sure to disable this part from the installable options and it will solve the problem.
I want to un-install Itune from my computers, but every time that I try I get an error about some VBScript, and than it crashes, I tried to contact Apple, but the only help they offer me was to upgrade their stupid program.
I have a PC running Vista Business. It will not successful run a repair, I do not find an option (when I boot from the cd) to wipe it out and reload the OS.
I've just been offered Windows SP2 via my Windows Update manager. My history on this computer is excellent with regards to updates so I'm inclined to have this update installed. Everything regarding updates is current except for IE-8. My one reservation is that I've declined to update IE-8 in the recent past as I'm a Firefox user and I've seen all the traffic about how cloggy IE has been for some. I tried finding out if Vista SP2 includes IE-8 but am having no luck. Can someone tell me if Vista SP2 includes IE-8? And if so, is there a way to download SP2 but choose not to have IE-8 included.
I am trying to install the magic jack into my sony viao and its giving me problems so i went to the site to fix it and it said for a vista to go to C:>Documents and Settings>Users>Application Data>Roaming> mjusbsp> in00000. now there isnt documents and settings feature i now but i need a file named setup from this location how do i get it? Its a 32bit vista home premium and im new the to whole vista thing...
I know I can only have one registered copy and that's on my computer but is it possible to have a working Vista on a friend's computer but without having to register it? I have the upgrade version of home premium SP1. I remember reading that it's possible to install Vista without registering for a certain amount of time and that the time can be extended. I figure they can't use windows update but I think the Vista HP SP1 by itself is rather stable regardless. I was going to have them use the Windows 7 Beta but it can't be downloaded anymore from Microsoft's site and I don't want to use torrents. They'd have bought Vista themselves by now but with a kid on the way and moving, they can't shell out the dough right now and their comp is acting up.
is it possible. ? guidence would be needed. i have installed froma dvd. but it a waste of a dvd. can i put it on my usb and install and then delete it. it waste me a dvd to install ubutu ..
64-bit Vista Home Premium. Update for Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 Junk Email Filter (KB970012) is repeatedly installing here. No sooner do I respond to the prompt to install it that a few minutes later it appears again as a new important update. Funny thing is, I don't even HAVE Office 2007. I do however have Office Professional 2003. How do I dispense with this repeated update?
I have Windows Vista 32 on my computer and i was wondering what i would need to install windows XP over that. I was reading some places that a Windows XP OEM will only work on the computer it came with. is this true? Will i need to buy a retail version of XP to install onto my computer? or will the OEM product work?
I read the instructions about installing SP1 and found out that three critical updates are needed before installing. I don't have an internet connection and have been going to friend to download things I need. Then I transfer them on a memory stick and install them. I downloaded the three updates, but then found out that there is a problem on some computers with KB937287, which causes the computer to endlessly reboot. Then it was withdrawn from the MS site. So now I am not sure whether to install any of these or not. Then I posted this question on various forums. One said that I don't need the three critical updates if I am installing the standalone version on SP1 because they are included in that version. Another one said I can't update Vista at all if I don't have my own internet connection. I am not sure what to do
