Some Programs Won't Run/install, Explorer Slow, Ect.
It was all fine until yesterday. I copied over a game from my laptop the night before (I just installed 7 on this computer recently, was copying over stuff from my laptop) and also finished installing World of Warcraft and not long after I turned off the computer.
The next day I switched it on and didn't notice anything at first but some programs wouldn't run (Winamp would have a blank space where the music list normally is).
I tried installing some virtual drive programs such as magic disc and power iso which I usually use for isos I rip onto the computer (I lost some discs before so I've been doing that recently) but the magic disc programs wouldn't run properly and power iso wouldn't progress during its installation.
I tried installing some anti spyware like AVG and Avast (Spyware doctor detected 300 odd tracking cookies that appeared in the past week I installed, way more than it did with my vista laptop) but they would just either not respond (and then pop up with a message saying it took a while and wouldn't respond) or just not even progress when it was installing (on the part where it begins putting down files)
Explorer itself is slow and takes a while to load when on "My computer" and usually wouldn't display USB drives. Once it did but it didn't actually open it up when I clicked on it and prevented the window from responding.
I have used task manager to close all these down when they wouldn't.
When I tried switching off my computer it just stayed on the logging off/shutting down screen. I tried leaving it overnight, expecting it to finally switch off but it only ende up going into sleep mode (and popped up with the log in screen when I waked it up)
I have switched the computer off and on a few times but its still the same.
I also got the disc I used to install and tried to repair it but it wouldn't boot from the disc when I switched on the PC and when I opened it up and ran the setup file, it came up with the usual "are you sure you want to run this" dialog and didn't do anything.

Most 32-bit Programs Won't Run In RTM
I've been using Win7 since the beta, and not once have I had this problem 'till now (and I've used builds 7000, 7100, 7229, and 7260 without issues). But starting with build 7600.16384 (I have the RTM now (7600.16385)), I've been having trouble getting 32-bit programs to work. At first they were slow to start--now they won't start at all. Originally I could work around it by running them apps as Admin w/compatability for Vista SP2, but now even that doesn't work. 64-bit apps startup fine (Photoshop, IE8, any built-in app, etc.), but anything 32-bit will just sit in the Task Manager all day, with the memory usage never above 3-4MB, and simply fail to start. No error messages, no abrupt termination, just nothing. The only exceptions have been FL Studio 8 and Steam (but Steam games won't run), both of which run perfectly despite being 32-bit. I can only last so long using IE and not being able to play any games.

Can't Install Programs From Run DL Option In 7077
Not sure if anyone's reported this yet, but I did a clean install of 7077 on my backup computer and anytime I start an application download and select "run" from the download menu, it downloads the program but will not start it, I have to go back and save the file, and run the .exe from there. Anyone else run into this and found a fix?

All Programs Won't Display And Speech Recognition Won't Start
My speech recogntiion won't start. I don't have a system restore that far back, but it hasn't been working since 3, maybe 4 updates back and I am now just getting around to it, since I have had other concerns lately. The error I get is "Speech recognition could not start because the language configuration is not supported. The recognizer language must match the language of the user interface. Please change the recognizer language in the Speech Recognition control panel under Advanced Options." I go there and press certain buttons and I sometimes get the error message "The requested task can not be carried out because the neccesary engine can not be created. Please select a different engine and/or audio device." I have tried changing the laguage and then restarting and it still won't work. I am using the same mic I was using before when it worked. I have not installed any new sound drivers when it stopped although I have looked for the sound drivers since and there are no new ones. I also had two other problems after the same Windows 7 update with the All Programs not displaying in the Start Menu, but I have dont a temporary fix with that, but it is still not working the way it is supposed to as I had to make a new sub folder in the Programs folder and change the location to that folder every time I start up Windows and so now I go into All Programs and then a second folder, which is ok for now, gonna write a batch file to do it for me anyway. The other problem is that my sidebar wouldn't start, but I think I fixed that last night. As my gadgets are now working.

Upgrade Advisor Won't Run
I've downloaded and installed the advisor, but it won't start. And no error message at all. The privacy link works though. My PC is an Acer 8920G - a year old. .NET 3.5sp1 plus all other MS updates. OS is Vista Home Premium. Have rebooted, reinstalled, downloaded again - no different. Also checked the Event log - nothing other than saying the install was successful. The animation for the Start check button works. Then nothing. Any ideas?

Upgrade From Vista Installer Won't Run
I am trying to upgrade to Win7 RC from Vista. When I run the installer, I get an error "Cannot access network resource" and get asked for a password. I have an admin account but enter my logon details but then get a further error saying "windows can't access "g:setup". I can access that disk drive fine normally and the installer works if it boot to it, but I want to do upgrade rather than clean install. I've also tried 'run as administrator'- same error.

Safe Mode Won't Run - Computer Just Keeps Booting
I have recently run into some issues on my machine that runs Windows 7. I can't run Windows Media Player; it just says the file name and then "Server Execution Failed". I was advised to go into safe mode and type a command into cmd. However, safe mode would not work. At first I thought it was an F8 problem, so I was advised to go into msconfig > boot and change the system to boot into safe mode. I did that to find that safe mode gets into the driver loading screen and stops at windowssystem32driversClassPnP.sys and seems to load. It shows the cursor, but then disappears and my computer reboots. However, since my computer is set to load into safe mode, it constantly tries to log into safe mode, which doesn't seem to work, so it just restarts, tries to go into safe mode, but can't, so it restarts again, going through the process again and again. I have tried pressing "Delete" key at the beginning of boot up, but it does not show any thing else I can boot from. When I do get the F8 thing working, I select "Boot Windows Normally" but it just goes straight to the bootup of safemode. I have an Acer Aspire M3800 that only has the factory restore discs that Acer eRecovery Management has asked me to make when I first bought my computer. I obtained Windows 7 through the "free upgrade" program Acer is running.

ACT 5.5 Inventory Collector DHCP Won't Run On XP Client
I'm trying to install the inventory collector DCP from ACT 5.5 to a Windows XP Professional SP3 client computer (P4 3GHz 1GB ram) which is used as a school library computer. It has .NET 1.1, 2.0SP2, 3.0SP2, 3.5SP1 and a whole bunch of other software. The DCP will install and then a moment later it would uninstall itself and nothing is collected. The app event logs shows several errors: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source: ACT-DC Event ID: 1008 The following information is part of the event: [actdcsvc.exe] agent had a runtime error. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source: ACT-DC Event ID: 1017 The following information is part of the event: [compressor.exe] [ Compressor] Compress source file C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataMicrosoftApplication Compatibility Toolkit 5DataCollector StatusMoved: STATUS-libraryPC-xxxxxxxxxx.xml to destination directory C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataMicrosoftApplication Compatibility Toolkit 5DataCollectorLoggingAM-STATCOMP-xxxxxx fails with error code 5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Source: ACT-DC Event ID: 1008 The following information is part of the event: [collect.exe] Failed to parse the command line arguments.

I'm trying to get another PC to clone it and then try it out.

Programs Won't Open Properly
OS: Win 7 HomeP 64bit Recently Installed programs: Dragon Agerigins/DX update I installed those both last night and played with no issues. Now today I turn on my PC and some programs won't open properly. My browser(Chrome) works(more on this later) and a few others do as well, but things like GameSpy Comrade, and Dragon Age, and Crysis 32/64bit will not open properly. When I click to open it loads for a bit than the program freezes, or it loads than does nothing. In both cases the program shows up in the task manager processes. If the program freezes it shows up in the task manager as running. Solutions I've tried: Restarting the computer Virus scan(No results) Can anyone give me some ideas? Also chrome opens 3 times in the processes but I only have one window and one tab open. Is this normal?

Issue: Fresh Win7 Install; Cannot Run ANY Programs
I downloaded Windows 7 from MSDNAA from my school and burned it to a blank DVD (4.90GB I believe is the capacity). Everything seemed to work fine and the burn didn't seem corrupted even when I burned it at full speed, so please keep this in mind for the following issue. After I successfully installed Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit on my system, I ran into an issue. Certain programs will not open or execute at all, whether it be a setup file or even Internet Explorer 8. Windows Media Player opens sometimes, but bugs out too every now and then. This is hindering me because since this is a fresh install, that means I cannot begin to install drivers such as the latest Catalyst drivers for my HD 3870. Even if I open it as Administrator, it does nothing but show the usual "Processing" mouse animation spinning symbol and after a while, nothing shows up. I checked the task manager and I see it is still running, but since I don't see anything, I have to kill the process. Again, this happens with more than 50% of the Application files/Programs that I have tried and this is a fresh install of Windows 7. I have tried to re-install Windows 7 again to no avail. One weird error message I got was when I tried to open the sample "Wildlife in HD" video just to test it out: "Server Execution Failed". I don't know what else to try and right now I am using my laptop with Windows XP to use this forum since I can't even open my browser on my desktop. Is there a way to solve this problem? Sorry for my first lengthy post, but I wanted to provide as much detail as possible. And I think my specs should show below since I filled that part out....does it?

Running Programs Won't Show Up On Taskbar
I'm running 64-bit Windows 7. Last night my computer was fine, and I just booted up today to find that whenever I run programs, they don't show up on the taskbar. I have two monitors, one is my laptops screen and the other an external one. If I drag the applications to my laptop screen, they show up on the external screen, but if they are on the external screen, they don't show up at all. The external is set to my main display. Any ideas on what's going on?

Task Scheduler Won'T Run Task With Idle Condition
When I schedule a task to run Disk Cleanup with a one minute idle condition the task does does not run successfully and provides the following run result. The Task Scheduler service has asked the task to run. (0x41325) If I manually run the task or remove the idle condition the task runs and completes successfully. Why won't the task start with an idle condition?

XP And 7 Install Issues (Won't Boot Into Win 7 Install)
I have XP SP2 installed. I used EASEUS Partition Master to split my drive in half, one half being XP, the other half being a future install of Windows 7. Put DVD in, selected the blank partition, began the install. Once it gets to the first reboot, it will reboot and go straight into XP. There is no option to choose Windows 7. The XP boot.ini has only one entry for XP. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm thinking I need to add an entry for Windows 7, but have no clue what to put and I'm also guessing I'd have to add a few special tags because it's booting into the setup process of Win 7.

ATI Driver Won't Install
I have a Toshiba Satellite Laptop and I installed Windows 7 Build 7100 on it. However, Open GL games do not work, and I have the ATI 8.56 graphics driver installed and I am trying to upgrade it to the latest 8.61. However, after I run the installer, my screen does not blink and once installation is complete, I do not see a change in the driver version - and catalyst is not installed as well. However, when i am trying to re-install it says the drivers are already installed. Any ideas as to whats going wrong? Its a 32-bit OS. I cannot run any OpenGL games, they fail saying it could not load OpenGL.

Network HP Printer Won't Install
Trying to install an HP 2100 tn printer through a Linksys router to a Win 7 62 Pro machine. Win 7 drivers for Asus MB, Marvell Card and latest firmware for Linksys router. Tried Win 7 printer installation routines a jillion times...and it couldn't find the printer (power cycled router and printer several times). Used HP latest network diagnostic but it can't find the printer. Used latest PCL 5, 6 and PS drivers from HP - nothing. Used netsniffer with HP diagnostic and it looks like the diagnostic sees the printer (reports the correct i.p. address) but doesn't identify it as a printer. Went back to XP where the printer works and found it is currently working with IPX protocol. Anyone have any ideas? I don't want to buy a new printer, or stick with XP.

Sigmatel Audio Drivers Won't Install
Have a tablet PC that I just installed Seven onto. Even though it's an old box, Windows update found nearly all of the drivers. The one it didn't find is for the AC97 Sigmatel audio. So, I grabbed the drivers I used for Vista (they're actually XP drivers) and tried to install them. Did this again and again, using different compatibility modes every time. Got no indications of failure, but never worked, either. Tried removing the device and having Windows Update search for a driver. No luck. Tried installing driver from selecting from list. Only Sigmatel driver in the list is for HD -- which I don't have. Even tried the MS WDM driver -- and it refused to install it. I read in another thread that there are supposedly generic AC97 drivers --but I can't figure out how to install them. The relevant driver files from Vista are STAC97.sys and staco.dll -- which tells me this is a STACS AC97 audio chip. But I just can't figure out how to get a driver installed.

Conexant AC-Link Drivers Won't Install
I have a HP Pavilion zv600 (model zv6123cl). The drivers section for my computer on HP.com only lists XP drivers, which fail to install. The Vista section (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=500261&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us&y=6&x=8) only has drivers for the quick launch buttons. I've also downloaded the package suggested at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprohardware/thread/f4dfec8a-e2c9-44b0-ac8b-f8dcfe80ab4a, but these also fail, even when checked for running as admin in Vista compatibility mode. Windows Update doesn't have any downloads. Device manager lists the device as "Muiltimedia Audio Controller", with the little exclamation point. Does anyone have any other drivers for the Conexant CX20468-31 AC97 Audio that might work with Windows 7?

Canon LiDE 50 Scanner Won't Install
I have just installed Windows 7 64 bit dual booting with Windows Vista 32 bit. I can't get drivers for my Canon CanoScan LiDE 50 Scanner to install on Windows 7 (works fine on Vista) See on the Canon Website that they are not showing any Windows 7 drivers for this scanner which I can't get to work. Tried LiDE 60 drivers but could not get these to install with my scanner. Is there anything I can do to get this working. Or do I have to reboot Vista if I want to continue using this scanner?

Adobe Flash Won't Install In Firefox 3
Have read previous threads on Flash, and made sure I'm the administrator: my first name (Barend) is shown as administrator. Still, I am often getting the msg "Page can only be viewed with Flash player- Install?". Instead of installing I only get the option to download. Starting the download first leads to failure, then the W7 msg "Do you want to start with the approriate settings?" and then I can choose between IE and Firefox. But it still doesn't install correctly, because empty pages and the msg as in line 2 keeps appearing.

South Bridge Drivers Won't Install
I just built desktop with ASUS M4A78 Plus mobo and was getting BSODs constantly using windows 7 64-bit. I just installed XP 32-bit and ti's running fine. One thing I noticed is on XP the south bridge drivers installed but on Windows 7 whenever I tried to install them using catalyst manager or driver from ATI's site it would not install. It would attempt to install the north bridge drivers which the log would say successful but catalyst manger would always say they weren't installed. Has anyone experienced this problem or now a fix for it?

Windows Upgrade Advisor Won't Install
Trying to install Win 7 Upgrade Advisor on a two-year old Vista machine (DELL XPS 420). Clicking the setup icon to install gets me nothing. No installation screens, no warnings, no errors, nothing. I tried installing on an older XP laptop and the software installs there just fine. I've checked the other related topics and they seem to be related to problems installing on XP, not Vista. Any ideas what I'm missing? I've never encountered an installation that fails before it even starts.

Upgrade From Vista, Won't Finish Install
I've tried four times to upgrade my vista 64 bit to windows 7, everytime it gets to about 62% complete it just stays there. I'll leave it running for two days and it just won't finish. I've have over five thousand my lastest build, and it all runs great on Vista 64. The compatibility wizard shows no issue before I start the upgrade. If I boot to the CDrom first with the windows 7, it starts coping the disc and then I get the Friggin BLUE Screen, everytime. I've been building sytems for over fifteen years, I've owned every kind of windows ever made. I've probably paid for Bill Gates car (one of them anyway).I could do a clean install, but I don't want to pay for all the software I've installed again.

NVidia GeForce 8500 GT, Drivers Won't Install
I have Windows 7 32bit installed on an ASUS P5RD1-VM mobo with an nVidia Geforce 8500 GT graphics card. I have tried numerous times to install the Windows 7 (32bit) Driver from manufacture site, but when it tries to install the drivers, I get an error message saying "No drivers were found that work with your device. Setup will now close." I don't get this! I'm on that graphics card right now, in Windows 7, and typing this thread... Also, in Device Manager, there is no "Display Adapter" listed.... I can't seem to find any evidence of a generic display driver either.... I've already solved the problem of my sound not working (SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio) and this is the last thing I need to get Windows 7 working for a REAL test run! How can I get these drivers installed?

Win7 Won't Install On 64 Bit Compatible Hardware
I just built a custom PC using the guts of an older Alienware with a few new upgrades:MOBO: Asus P5N32-SLI DeluxeCPU: Intel Pentium D 3.4GHz (4MB L2) supports EM64TRAM: 4GB (4X1GB) I tried installing a retail copy of Win7 Ultimate 64-bit and i get as far as the beautiful blue flowery background and a mouse cursor that just sits there doing nothing. When i pop in the 32-bit DVD, then i can install without a problem. Once the 32-bit installation finished up, i checked the "performance information and tools" and the reports stated that my machine is indeed 64-bit capable. I also checked the Intel and Asus support sites and determined that both my CPU and chipset are 64-bit compatible. The only other thing i can think of is that the Win7 DVD does not contain a 64-bit version of my SATA controlller and thus cannot access my hard drive. The issue with that is there doesn't seem to be an option to load drivers as it used to be available in XP by pressing F6.Any ideas?

Epson NX400 Scanner Driver Won't Install
Tried installing the scanner both from the installation CD and updated Vista 64bit drivers, and I get an error asking me to restart and try again. After restart same problem happens. Printer drivers install fine, it's just the scanner drivers. Called Epson and they have no beta drivers for Windows 7. Anybody know of a work-around? If I can't find a solution soon, i may have to go back to Vista...
