I am having problem when trying to install Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Personal Edition. When I start the installation I get the message below: "A previous installation created pending file operation on the installation machine. You must restart the computer before running setup" Even if I restart the machine the message keep coming up, and I am not able to install the SQL server.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently reinstalled XP but I didn't format the hard drive during the process. My hard drive is now almost full because the files and folders were not deleted...and they are nowhere to be found. I vaguely remember an option somewhere to delete files from a previous installation in xp but I can't seem to find it anywhere.I even tried Googling it but can't find it. Does anyone know how I can get rid of these old files.

View 2 Replies View RelatedPlease provide some tip or guidelines to help me with this script for me to reinstall MDAC.inf unattended. The script runs properly but the only problem is that, it'll prompt for "i386" folder originally in Windows XP cd. I've copied the whole folder to one of our network drive and was wondering is there any commands that could be added to the script above so that it won't prompt for the "i386" folder location so that no user interaction is required?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have recently tried to reinstall some oldish games (rainbow 6, Total Annhilation) and when you select install, an error pops up:
16 bit windows subsystem
C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application. Examination of that folder shows that I do not have a file called Autoexec.nt at all, is this correct? These games have run on this PC before and the error applies to multiple games suggesting a system problem. Is there a way of repairing or checking windows to replace this file. I did get a virus recently however Norton said it quarantined it - this might have
affected windows though prior to this I had noticed no differeance.
Have read many threads on this and other sites and tried everything suggested (except swap out CD drive - don't have a working older drive to try). This PC is at least 5-6 yrs old - has original Hitachi CD/DVD Drive (reader, not writer). Have unplugged ALL devices from back of computer. Just has (1)internal CD/DVD drive and (1) internal LS120 floppy drive left installed.Something happened to computer - Windows XP Pro would no longer run. Tried re-installing Windows XP Pro. using OEM CD with hologram. Attempted to do a repair install, instead of a fresh install - hoping to be able to keep all programs/devices intact.During installation, computer got stuck on: "The file 'asms' on Windows XP Pro Serv Pack1 CD is needed" Type the path where the file is located and click OK""Copy files from: Global RootDeviceCDRom0I386."The screen is locked, and I can not type or change anything. Can NOT change the path. Can not hit SHIFT F10 to get to a DOS prompt.

Logged on as my alter ego, I needed to open a Visio file. It asked for the master disk, and I proceeded to install (even though Viso is already installed for me to use as the prime user). I got a message that the Administrator had blocked this kind of activity.
How did I block it? And more important, how do I unblock it?
I have Windows XP Home Edition on HP Pavilion dv1000 series laptop. I installed AutoCAD2008 from their web site a few months ago. I found that it immediately slowed down my computer, even though I more than met their minimal installation requirements. After a week, I purchased a new computer to run ACAD, and uninstalled the program (except for the free DWF viewer) from my laptop. My laptop remained really slow. I tried to do the system Restore, but my computer was unable to go back to the date selected. I believe I defragged etc. after the uninstall, but am not 100% sure I did.
When I start the laptop first thing, the time showing doesn't change, even though minutes are passing. It takes about ten minutes from turning on the PC to getting Internet Explorer to open up. Or even to run Solitaire or open Notepad. I wonder if my ZoneLabs Security System is causing some of this slowness. Lately, I've been having to turn off the power to my laptop manually to get it to shut down.I regularly edit and keep my start up programs to a minimum, but include the programs Mozy (backup) and ZoneAlarm Security. I ran HijackThis and the log file is below. I've been puzzled why ZoneLabs has two scanning processes running at the same time.
I had a slow computer operation problem previously, and using the support here was able to fix it. I'm having the excrutiatingly slow operation again, where I click something like Solitaire, and it takes 2 to 4 minutes to run it the first time.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI started having these problems a few days ago. The main one is that when I try to go to Tools/Internet Options in Internet Explorer,I get the message "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer." I get a similar message when I try to save changes when exiting msconfig. Needless to say, I am the administrator and the only one who uses the computer, so it's not a restriction/permission issue. My problem is that my registry path doesn't match up to what is shown above. After I get to Policies/Microsoft there is no Internet Explorer folder in either of those two paths. If I start from CURRENT USER, the only folder under Policies/Microsoft is System Certificates, and if I start from LOCAL MACHINE, the only folders are Conferencing, System Certificates, Windows, and Windows NT. I tried searching the whole registry for "restrictions" and found nothing. So what do I do now?
View 11 Replies View RelatedAt present, I have a screen that keeps saying 'error loading operating system'. To start I had Wn98se, installed WnXP Pro. The files and settings transer wizard did it's thing copying but didn't work upon install. I have 98 start up disk .. but nothing for the XP. (Was having trouble with update downloads / installs from micro.) but over all the system was working fine. I have Norton 05 Premier / goback if I can get to it. I just installed a new hard drive, 'Steup' had identified hd but I never got windows to open. Can't say that I know what happened,, seems to me that it asked about partitions. I do not understand much about that, never have changed or used. My guess, they work like seperators on task bar?? Next I think it wanted to install OS, I figured okay, but why?, it should already have XP on it (old drive) I left old as primary. Then it got to where it was saying it would 'format'. Wait a minute, I know enough to know I'd lose everything, so I rebooted. I've tried a number of time to see if I missed something. I finely decided to open the pc, disconnect the new drive and get back on track. I've tried the 'F8', pays no attention to that. I thought if I could get in to safe mode, I could use my 'GoBack' - which would clear out mistakes or whatever is causing trouble.
I can get a screen that asks if I want to boot from ST32 (my old), from CD-Rom, floppy and SCSI (whatever that is?). I've tried the hd, still get the error. I dont have any start up devices (was waiting to make -trble with the updates yet). So I put my WnXP disk in and same error,, but if I fool around with it (time it just right) I can get it to where it wants to install. "Welcome to setup" it can set up xp. Gives me a partition that looks like what I'd expect my hd to look like, scary part is the free space is the same amount. Have option of 8MB space, that won't work,, tried it . So I'm brave and hit in stall on what I think is my old hard drive. I then get told it has to "format",that's such a nasty word. I have not gone any further. I have a choice of NTFS / 32,, old was 32. Before I go further is there a floppy / disc / download / a tool, that I could purchase to get into safe mode? I thought I'd give my old 98 Norton Rescue floppy a try - nope, but I got what loked like dos prompt. I just didn't know how to move from the A:> to a command that would get me into safe mode. Or better yet, my WNXP I had running. I read here that there wasn't any problem with using NTFS and 32 on same pc. I'm wondering if I have to should I pull the old hd connection (just to be sure), install the new hd get it up and running and then later come back to transferring what I want. OR because my old was 32, stick with 32, and not set myself up for more problems?? I have a full back up on CD of my old HD, would there be anything there I could use to get back into safe. Sorry I'm not better at this,, if I were I'd probably not be in this mess. Could it be I have a bad XP? They been trying to clear up the 'update' thing but nothing has worked.
my printer seems to have disconnected itself from the computer. Upto now, everything was fine, but when I went to print something, nothing would happen when I clicked the 'print' button.However, after I tried printing from notepad, it still comes up with 'Operation could not be completed.I reinstalled all my printer programs, (I HAVE A CANON MP130) but still no results.
