Windows Could Not Configure One Or More Of System Components
Sep 23, 2012
I tried to install Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit on my brand new rig and I kept getting a "Windows could not configure one or more of your system components". I tried reformatting, changing the SATA to IDE and AHCPI, nothing worked, so I installed Home Premium x86. Being a 32 bit system it only recognizes 3.5gb of my 8gb Dual Channel DDR3 with 4.5gb being "system reserved hardware".
I have met some problem when formatting my laptop when the formatting process reaches the complete installation of windows 7 part,it suddenly says that the windows cannot configure one or more system components n ask me to restart the installation for windows 7.I kept trying for many times but the result is still the same.So,i would like to ask is there any ways to solve this problem??
I am performing a clean install of windows 7 on my sony VGN-FW520F (which had Windows 7 previously). I performed a secure erase of the HD with "Clean All" command in DISKPART and reformatted the drive in ntfs. When I install Windows 7 64 bit I get an error 85% through that says "windows could not configure one or more system components" and requires a new installation. Did I wipe critical drivers from SONY that are needed to perform an install? If so what steps do I need to take to install Windows 7?
Windows could not configure one or more system components To install Windows, restart the computer and then restart the installation i get this message on clean windows 7 instal i formal my disk and custom instal from boot and on compliting instalation i get that error?
I was attempting to reinstall Windows 7 because it was getting slow, and I was almost finished and was on Completing Installation... phase I get an error saying that "Windows could not configure one or more system components" and then it started rolling back the system. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate and I never had this problem before.
I am performing a clean install of Windows 7 64bit Home Premium with SP1 integrated on a Dell Studio XPS 8100, and after the first reboot during installation, I get a message "Windows could not configure one or more system components. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation." This is a 64 bit machine. Was running Windows 7 64bit Ultimate until yesterday.
Tried partitioning/cleaning/wiping the drives in so many ways I couldn't even count, including "clean all" from repair disk, booting to ubuntu live cd and making sure no rogue filesystems/partitions exist, letting windows installer create partitions, precreating the partitions in diskpart/ubuntu. Have tried several iso's and several cd's/usb drives.
Messed with some bios settings, but to no avail, and made sure my bios was up to date. Downloaded drivers from dell and loaded chipset drivers pre-installation just in case. Have removed all extraneous devices from system excepting the keyboard, mouse, HD, CD-drive, and video card. The 32bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium installed completely fine, with no issues whatsoever, even without pre-loading the chipset drivers.

I originally partitioned my Toshiba NB205-N210 for Windows XP, so I only gave the system partition 8GB.Recently I installed Windows 7 Ultimate (x86) and of course 8GB is too small for it to really work well. This is even if I have enabled "compress files" for C: and I've already removed everything from "Turn Windows features on or off".I have actually been able to run Windows Update and update everything, but now it wants to install Service Pack 1, and there's not enough room - I only have 300 MB left.When I was researching what I could delete to make more room, I came across a torrent called "Windows 7 Lite - Dark Netbook Edition". The creator wrote that he had removed these components:
- Projector Connectivity - Speech Support - Welcome Center - TV Tuner - NVIDIA & ATI Video Drivers
I recently created a virtual server of window 2008 x86 enterprise edition. I installed integrated components and configured my educational / testing server and things were working fine until I rebooted the host OS and everything seems peachy but after the OS splash screen something seems to be conflicting locking the OS preventing the user login screen to appear. I checked the bios and intel virtualization Is on in the bios and I can load into safemode so the issue must be caused from some conflict that isn't loaded in safemode. Has anyone run into this issue before and what line of thought did they use to fix the problem -posted from the smartphone of a tired programmer so please forgive any grammatical or spelling issue
Used RT Seven Lite to slim down windows, but may have done a little too much in terms of removing Windows services (RasMan, etc.). Is there a way to reinstall the Windows components?I did try to manually create the services using sc create and trying to duplicate the service from another box, but so far it hasn't worked out that well
every time i go to major windows components such as add/remove programs, user accounts etc it refuses to open. I also dont get any error messages but just a click and then nothing.
I just recently updated from XP to 7 and everything was fine for a few weeks but that honeymoon seems to come to an end.
First symptom was that Messenger couldn't connect, and after a few days I uninstalled it and tried to re-install it. Well, the installer couldn't connect anywhere to get files and I decided to let it be.
Then I installed some new hardware and allowed Windows to connect somewhere to get the drivers (I don't usually do that, but with this hardware it has allways worked well) and it couldn't find anywhing this time. I just thought that 'well, windows, it's allways a different battle' and got the drivers from the hardware manufacturer.
Now I would really like to get the Messenger up and running again and tried to look at it again. I thought maybe I should do a windows update first and off I went. At this point I realized that the problem lies deeper than Live Essentials / Messenger. After just 1 or 2 seconds the update tells that some updates (=none) couldn't be installed + error code 8007273D which 'surprisingly'
From day 1 I've had Zonealarm and Avast! running, I've also tried with them turned on but no help.
When I attempt to disable Windows fax and scan and internet printing client an error appears and all it says is that an error occured and no changes were made. It then prompts for a reboot as if something happened. I just did this install last week and finally have everything how I want it minus that. SP1 installed fine and no other issues. ic hecked the event viewer but see nothing in there when i try and disable the components.
I've found this guide Windows 7 Installation - Transfer to a New Computer for changing all my components except HDD.My question is, I currently use my install as an HTPC. If I use the sysprep method, will the codecs (ffdshow etc) work correctly afterwards, or will I have to go through installing them all again?I understand graphics drivers will need re-installing.
after a complete fresh install of windows 7 (the computer will be completely blank excluding the OS) what components (GPU, CPU, Motherboard, etc.) will require drivers to function properly and where would I acquire these drivers? Also are there any tips or things I should be aware about when restoring my PC?
To start, a quote from Windows 7 EULA: Quote: ... 2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS. a. One Copy per Computer. You may install one copy of the software on one computer. That computer is the "licensed computer." ... As the older geeks certainly remember, in earlier Windows versions it was possible to use different hardware profiles. You simply got a boot menu asking which hardware profile to boot.In 7 this is not possible. You have to manually disable or enable the hardware components when the need arises.
What if I install all the software I need, activate Seven, then create a system image. Shut down the computer, disconnect the Windows 7 HD, attach an equal new HD, use recovery tools to return the said image to this HD number 2. Put HD 1 back, use BCEDIT or a third party tool to create a boot menu which at this point would include two absolutely identical Seven installations.Then strip down Seven setup #2, disable all unnecessary devices etc. thus creating a Seven - Seven dual boot environment, with two different HW-profiles. The computer is the same, only one of the two Sevens could be used at any given time, and so on
For my custom computer I want it to have all of the proper parts in front (power, reset, LEDS, USB, audio), and I found how to do the switched and LEDs, but not usb ports and audio jacks. where do I get these? I can dissect a USB hub and wire it to a header, but a premade solution would be better.also i'd like to install a SD (and maybe MicroSD) card reader without using a drive bay (and ideally using the same header as the usb ports).
I was importing 2 virtual machines from VirtualBox to Virtual PC, uninstalling the drivers on Windows 2000 provided by VirtualBox, importing that virtual machine to Virtual PC, installing the drivers provided by Virtual PC, but suddenly i got the following error: D:setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
I've been trying to update using the win7 updater to Sp1. I've beeen able to get it downloaded but the installation fails shortly into the process returning a message saying that it cant proceed due to missing components. I've tried one potential fix which is to restore backuped fies from my last usage of driver sweeper, but that did not work.
I just installed Microsoft virtual pc and xp mode. In the event viewer it says to update to the latest version of Virtual pc integration components. When I check tools in XP mode all that's there is disable integration components. There's nothing there to update to the latest. Where do you go to see what version you have?
I am getting the all installed components were removed via the rollback feature while trying to download a game. I see some topics for other Windows programs such as Vista, but not for Windows 7. How can I install my games?
I was doing some printing and it was fine. Right in the middle of a multiple page print job I got a printer error. Troubleshooter indicted a HP Photosmart C310 driver was missing. I went to Device Manager and every entry under Other Devices was missing their drivers. The C310 printer, the SM Bus Controller and the Ethernet Controller. Windows Update was unable to find and install any drivers. Why all the Other Device components lost their drivers at the same time?
Windows XP has 'ADD/REMOVE WINDOWS COMPONENTS', useful for adding or getting rid of things. good for ADDING the FAX feature that is built in, and GREAT for getting rid of MESSENGER.I can not find this feature in my W7.

I have the problem of failure to configure windows, i have seen a few posts on here about people solving this problem but i am a bit of a noob so was hoping i could get some 1 on 1 help.I was stuck in a loop for a while in that i would get to the failure to configure windows screen and it would either restart or would just stay on that screen for hours. i have now somehow got onto my laptop (don't ask me how! just luck i guess) but i was wondering if there was something i could do to stop it happening again. until that time i will be trying to leave my laptop turned on.
My computer got infected by Win 7 Security 2012 rogue virus. I removed the virus with the instruction on bleepingcomputer. I think I removed the virus, but I cannot go onto the firewall. When I go to windows firewall, everything is disabled and thus not able to enable the firewall. So when I click 'Use recommended settings' it says that Windows firewall can't change some of your settings, Errorcode 0x80070424.
