View 4 Replies View RelatedI use earthlink DSL and the offered a clean up system for free (PC finetune) so I tried it because my computer was a little slow. Well, after installing and rebooting up dates came up. I let in automatically install updates. I know 'stupid'. I now have it set to notify me before installing. Anyway, one of the updates was some version on windows explorer. It is always attempting to Install. It doesn't say what what it is installing. I look on the internet and one told me how to find out what it is attempting to install. It came back as "3.1.400.5512" I'm think that is internet explorer 3.1 not sure. It slows my computer, won't let me go online because it interfers with the sign on window pop up.

I get an error msg saying "access denied", and it aborts completely.I'm not sure that matters for windows installer itself, but until I successfully install that, I dont' think I'm getting access to any other windows updates I DO need.

View 1 Replies View RelatedTried to open Control Panel to uninstall and start using Office XP Small Business -- message: "error occurred while windows was working with...CoPM.cpl in System 32." Microsoft tech suport referred me to start/run appwiz, and remove Visual IP InSight -- but that file wasn't on the list of programs. I removed an un-named installer from the top of the list, thinking that was the culprit.Since then, Windows Installer dialog box pops up whenever I open Explorer or any other program. Microsoft tech support referred me to Article 261594 (Modify the Registry). Can now load Ofice 2000 without the installer popping up.
This is an odd problem that just won't go away, I have a friends computer who has win XP sp-2 they had Norton 2005 on it and uninstalled it cause it is just junk anyway. But the problem is that any program that needs to be installed or updated now gives the message that you need to install the norton disk in CD drive for unknownname install.In event viewer is says "Source: MsiInstaller, Type: Warning, Category: none, Event ID: 1001, Description: Detection of product '{C6F5B6CF-609C-428E-CA83176C021B}', feature 'Complete' failed during request for component'{A07EA0AF-E117-4A34-8D54-5D826F12988C}' for more help & support" blah, blah no help at web link.Also I cannot get windows update site to even load with anything in it all no message just blank, other websites seem fine.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIt is frustrating having every program automatically install to program files, including minor things like audio attachment. I know I'll end up with tons and tons of folders in program files. Beyond that, I can't access program files from the other computers on the network. Is there a good way to reorganize/move files to my C drive in a way that would be efficient and wouldn't require reinstalling every single program in a different place?
View 7 Replies View RelatedInstalling windows on a pc built for my friend and it comes up with a stop code.
stop d1. driver_irql_not_less_or_equal then it states
acpi.sys

which i think refers to a stop a1 as well.
ive tried using 2 different type of memory on the m-board and still get the same error.
there are no other hardware besides a cdrom and hdisk, mosue and keyboard. i did have an old logitech mouse but swapped that as i read that can cause problems too.
i dont know how to go about fixing this as their is a hotfix for acpi problems but thatr equires u to actually have windows on teh pc in teh first place i.e safe mode.
i can get into bios and it performs POST no problems. the only other thing is it boots fromcdrom but it says no emulation.
I received the following Stop screen error code after installing SP 3 to my XP Home Edition OS.
Stop:0X0000007E (0XC0000005, 0XF781C756, 0XF79F7430, 0XF79F712C)
I had to reboot in safe mode and uninstall SP3 to get back to normal, which is Service Pack 2. The PC is an HP Compaq SR1520NX with 1GB Ram and 160GB HD with plenty of room. The only hardware I had a bit of trouble with was an Nvidia AGP card which they helped me with updating the driver several months ago. I don't seem to have any problems otherwise with it. Also, I installed a Pinacle USB TV
Tuner. I've had some problems getting it to recognize the tuner occasionally. Sometimes when I unplug it and re-plug it, it works.
How can I tell (from the error code) what is causing the stop screen?
Now when you visit some sites they will install some program onto your computer.

Over the last two weeks, I've reinstalled Windows five times. I'm literally at my wits end. Here's my problem...
Whenever I try to install almost anything, I get Stop error 0xF4, which is the termination of a system-critical process or thread. Sometimes it happens for no reason, but for the most part, it's usually just when I'm installing something. Unfortunately, I don't have all the parameters of the stop error, but according to the Overclockers Forum, my first parameter (0x03) denotes that it is a process that is being terminated.
There are sometimes when the sfc /scannow command can temporarily fix the problem (that is, to run it before installing an app, then install the application once it is finished) but that's not always the case.
It should also be noted that there are some instances when I get a 0x7A error, but this is seldom. I merely included it in the event that it may prove to be helpful.
I'm running Windows XP Home, with an ASUS A8N-VM-UAYGZ motherboard. I'm sure you guys need more specs than that, and if so, please tell me. Also, I intended to include the Stop error message in it's entirety, but I neglected to write it down (odd, since I've seen it 40+ times). So I will write a follow-up with the Stop error and ...
Recently I bought a very cheap Acer Aspire M1640-E1150 which came with an MSI motherboard, an Intel Pentium Dual Core E2200, 2 GB of DDR2 RAM, and a 320 GB HDD from Hitachi. The system came with Vista initially installed on it, and needless to say, it was very slow! I decided to do the right thing and go to XP, so I found all the drivers required and I proceeded to install Pro from a disc that I have from a previous computer. As soon as the screen booted up and the system was being checked by the program, the system gave me an error message, before I even got to partition anything, it was initial. I tried to restart, took one of my RAM sticks out, but nothing was working. I even tried to format the HDD through an external drive, but nothing was working.
The error message is "Stop: 0X0000007B" and something about a virus or a software or a hardware being the problem. The system was running smoothly on Vista, and I even formatted the C drive, and I am sure that there were no viruses.
I have an ailian computer with XP Home on it. After installing sp2 my usb ports stoped working. In device manager the usb root hubs and ports say that they are working but the mouse and game controler do not function. I do not get power to my mouse either.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI put everything together, went into bios, changed the time. Made sure everything else was alright, (boot order basically) then put in my XP disc (that ive used for computers before) and restarted. It recognized it, went to the windows blue screen where it tried to load everything. Loaded everything (at the bottom in the gray bar) then the last thing it says is "Starting Windows Setup" (or something close to that) the screen flickers and up comes a blue screen saying "A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. If is the fi."

At the moment i am completely lost, my only thought was to take out the video card and see if that helped (since it said something about video drivers) but everything is brand new, and plugged in correctly (i believe) so i dont understand what is going on!?
Hi.I just bought an Asus P5N-D ATX SLI-ready mobo. Have 512 mb of memory to start with so I figured I would set everything up and make adjustments as I received my new parts. Started with a 250 gig Western Digital SATA 1.5 harddrive, a 600 watt Ultra PSU, 512mb of DDR2 PC6400 800fsb single channel, a P4 Dual Core 3.0 processor, and a Windows XP Home Edition 32bit disk. This isnt even close to the setup I plan to use but I thought it would be nice to tweek this processor to see what it would do before I got my new Wolfdale E8400 3.0 processor which I expect great things from. Its the 45nm series. I also have 2 gigs of DDR2 PC6400 800fsb Dual Channel OC memory in shipment. My problem is during my setup I formatted my harddrive for a clean install and when its close to being done I get this error message on the forbidden blue screen: STOP 0x000000A IRQL-NOT-LESS-OR-EQUAL. So I browsed through my BIOS checking settings and ran into this in PCU settings: cache 2x1024 memory. Assuming this could be changed I browsed some more changing settings and taking note of what I changed and what the original settings were,but never could disable the cache. It doesnt seem to be an option at all. I think this is my problem. I think the sytem is trying to access unaccessable memory to finish downloading XP, but I also took note when I was searching the net that it could be a driver issue. If anyone knows anything that may help me resolve this, or if you are aware of a way to disable the cache before downloading an OS, please let me know.

When I try to open Microsoft Office Word 2003 a window pops up that says window installer then it says installing microsoft office word feature. It stops half way and another window pops up that says Installation error file not found. A required installation file SKU112.CAB could not be found. Original installation source required. If you installed Microsoft Office Standard edition 2003 from cd please insert your cd.
If you installed Microsoft office standard edition 2003 over your computer network please browse to the installation source on your computer. Also a window popped up that says Microsoft word has not been installed for the current user. Please run setup to install application. I don't have the cd its lost. This just started doing this about a month ago. I can't open any files through microsoft office word or power point.

I was installing the Kodak EasyShare Software and when it was almost finished, my PC restarted. I disabled the automatic restart and received the BSOD with the above mentioned stop code. I have rolled back all of my drivers and reupdated them. I have installed new drivers for my chipsets on my motherboard. I can go into Safe Mode with networking with no problems. But as soon as I start Windows normally I get the BSOD. I don't see anything in my startup folders either. I have ran a HiJack this file and found nothing either.
