Apps / Software :: 3rd Party Installer Failure Due To Lack Of Privileges

May 4, 2013

I have had installer failure for Hp printer software and windows live mail even though signed in as administrator and running the programs as administrator; the failure is the same for both, that is " failure due to lack of privileges to write to C:program dataMicrosoft windowsstart menu".

I have gone to the files and changed permission from read only several times and had it change right back to read only as soon as I closed explorer.

I have gone into uac and disabled notification but it has no effects, and Windows 8 apps still seem to work anyway' so I reset uac to normal level again.

This all seemed to start after a win update, but doing a system restore has not worked either.

Windows 8 Metro Apps Lack Basic Functions?

May 24, 2013

Why do the Metro style apps lack so many basic functions?

I've noticed that the Photo app, for example, doesn't allow you to do much other than view images. No share, no crop, no edit features. Nothing.

News cannot share, copy, etc.

Am I just missing these features?

Apps / Software :: Windows Installer Hangs - Not Working At All

Mar 23, 2014

Since a few weeks for some reason I cannot access some programs (like MS Word), it just says that "the operating system is not presently configured to run this application". It doesn't show up as a registry item either same as some other programs.

Now my problem is that I cannot install a new version, nor openoffice, or anything else for that matter that uses windows installer.

I've checked if the service and subservice was running and they were, I've tried SFC /scannow and Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth but they both didn't fix the problem ( did fix some corruptions though).

What happens with the installer is basically it doesn't do anything. It just sits at initializing forever and doesn't install anything at all. Currently cannot install any programs but don't want to reinstall windows since I have a lot of programs and settings I don't want to lose.

Nov 9, 2012

I have been happily using Windows 8, until today. Out of nowhere I cannot install/update anything (I always get "windows installer has stopped working error", I cannot run any metro apps (they simply crash), and windows itself seems unstable. Is there any other solution, other than formatting harddrive and re-installing everything?

Network / Sharing :: How To Use Third Party DNS Servers

Jun 13, 2014

I want to use third party DNS servers rather than those of my ISP. However, it takes less than a day for Windows 8 to lose the settings I painstakingly entered (awkward user interface, and long navigation to enter manually).

Can I set the DNS servers using a script, and if so how do I go about this?

Dell :: Unable To Check Adobe 3rd Party Cookie Box With Win 8

Oct 18, 2013

I've reinstalled Win 8 and now even upgrading to 8.1 didn't change anything.

I have Windows 8 and am trying to see streams broadcast on Justin.tv using any browser besides Chrome. I can view streams on JTV using Chrome when I have it's built-in flash player going but if I try to use the one I downloaded it doesn't work and gives me the same issues as Firefox 25 and IE 10 which are a black screen for the stream and a constant loading circle for chat. After a good bit of googling I found out that to see streams on Justin.tv you have to have 3rd party cookies option enabled in flash. When I try to do this with the online settings manager it won't allow me to check to accept 3rd party cookies. Nothing else I've tried has worked such as downgrading browsers in FF's case and trying the current flash version and the beta one. Older versions of flash outside of IE just tell me I need to upgrade.

I've cleaned the cache so many times. The box is not clickable at all. It lights up when I put my arrow over it but it won't allow it to be checked. Also, when I try to change storage settings those settings don't take either.

I've used the uninstaller that's downloadable off of Adobe's site, restarted my computer and tried downloading the most recent Flash version again. I still can't click on these boxes and the changes for storage don't get saved when trying to do so when using Firefox or IE.

I don't know what to do with IE 10 since I have Win 8 and flash is integrated as it is with Chrome. Funny thing is as I mentioned before the only way I can watch Justin.tv feeds is with Chrome and using it's integrated Flash.

Windows 8.1
IE 10
Firefox 25
Chrome 31.0.1650.26 beta-m

Browsers/Mail :: Lack Of Options With Mail App In Windows 8.1

Jan 9, 2014

I am using the mail app in windows 8.1. The problem I have is that when I type a letter in another language, something reprocesses my words, to make them look English. How can I prevent that? I notice there is no option to control the spell checker, if indeed this is one. Now when I use the webmail of live.com, the spell checker actually underlines a wrongly spelled word; when I can right, there is the option to decide with language I want to use. Not so with the mail app. It would be nice to have a functional mail app.

Insufficient Privileges To Access File

May 13, 2013

I've got an XP Virtual machine that I have on an SSD which I run from the USB port - I use this XP machine a lot on DIFFERENT computers -- It's got my Icelandic version of Office on it plus several other programs I use when I'm on a clients site so I don't have to install any special software on their laptops - It's also got my SAP GUI on it which I use to connect to various clients SAP systems.

However just this morning I can't boot up the VM -- get access denied messages to the VM files -- even on Administrator accounts.

Here's the screenshot of what comes up.

I've tried all the usual tricks like Run as administrator, give every possible privilege to the directory and files inside

First time I've had this problem since VISTA days. I really NEED to power on this virtual machine. I've posted here as it's not a VM problem itself but a Windows permissions one.

Update -- now solved --might not be the most sensible one but added my user name to the security privileges for the SSD -- I was already in the administrators group so why I needed to do this I haven't a clue but it worked.

Administrative Privileges To Complete Uninstall?

Sep 5, 2013

I am trying to Uninstall some old junk. Everything is uninstalling fine except one program. When I try to uninstall I get the message asking if I want to allow the program to make changes to my hard drive. When I click "No" I get the following message: "You must use administrative privileges to complete uninstall, please try again."

So what does this mean, and how do I use these administrative privileges? By the way, I am the administrator.

Administrator Privileges - Deleting File From Hard Drive?

May 11, 2012

have windows 8 cp installed .

I have a hard drive connected to a hard drive caddy, and am using it as an external hard drive: and it contains various audio/text/video files, and these were added to the hard drive when I was using windows xp

Now, however I find some of these files are "locked" onto the hard drive - I cant move them anywhere else. If I try to do this I get the message that I don't have administrative privileges to do so I have tried disabling uac but it situation still the same.

My Pc has only one user account (mine) and I am of course, the administrator accordingly. because I installed windows 8 myself with just me as only user.

Windows 8.1 - Suddenly Lost Admin Privileges And Now Unable To Change

Dec 28, 2013

I have had Windows 8 for approx 1 year and just upgraded to Windows 8.1 last week.

I installed bitdefender total security at the same time and everything was fine for a few days until one morning I woke up my Laptop to find I couldnt open a software program. Further investigation has found that I can not alter anything on my machine.

I have only the one user account which has my name, email, Administrator and password protected showing.

I can use my laptop still but have no admin rights at all.

When i try to open command prompt (admin) it takes a few minutes to come back with an error saying cannot access specified path, file folder etc...

I cant even restore my system back to factory settings. How can I restore my factory settings from this point??

Cannot Run .msi File (installer)

Dec 25, 2013

When I download software onto my Windows 8, often there is an .msi file to install the application. When I double-click on the .msi file, I get an error "Error while Opening File". This occurs on various software packages, so is just not a bad download.

When I click "OK" to this error message, I get a big green button on the screen, with "Download" in big letters, and "ilivid" in smaller characters.

I did mistakingly download the ilivid app onto my PC (once again a big green button on a download site that I thought was the download link to the file I wanted, however I uninstalled it once I read some articles online about it, also ran Malwarebytes to check for malware.

Do I need to re-associate the .msi files with the Windows Installer?

How To Allow MSI Installer In Safe Mode

Sep 20, 2013

With Nero 2014 I was forced to install it in safe mode (I got strange error "1158" otherwise). However when the installation reached MSI files, it was unable to continue.

This REG file below enables MSI installer in Safe Mode and Safe Mode with Networking.

Reboot is required after REG is imported:

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSafeBootMinimalmsiserver]
@="Service"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSafeBootNetworkmsiserver]

Setup Installation :: Windows 8 Installer Opens Up 2 Tabs In Browser

Apr 27, 2014

When I get to the part in the Windows 8 installer that it tells me what needs to come to my attention, instead of opening a little browser inside of the program as I guess it's trying to do, it opens up 2 tabs in whatever browser is my default. This would be fine if the buttons in the web pages still modified the actual installer, but they don't and therefore the installer is effectively stopped.

I'm trying to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Key word: Upgrade. I would like to avoid re-installing the OS altogether, but I can do that by myself if it comes to that.

Here's what it looks like:

I read on another thread that making IE the default would fix it, but I tried that and it did not work.
