Computer crashing if tried to install any driver

I had to change the HDD of my HP envy 6 as it showed short DST failed report on memory diagnostic. I did not have recovery disc. I installed windows 7 from my windows 7 disc. However when I try to install driver, PC crashes on startup showing blue screen error. It keeps on crashing into infinite loop. It functions normally without any driver. But I cant install any driver.Please help.

Hi there , I understand that you are having trouble after replacing the HDD on your notebook, and that you are now getting a BLue screen loop when you try to install drivers. I am happy to help with this. I would suggest you start by running all the system diagnostics to see if there is anything else showing a failure of any kind.

Computer crash. Trying to install updates and get this error ""This serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try another" when you enter a serial number in the Serial Number Upgrade screen."

My computer crashed. Ugh. I downloaded Photoshop CS3 (my first full version) and when I tried to upgrade ( I have upgrades to CS6) I get an error message. I remember having to call Adobe for help when I purchased CS4 but can't find a number to call them. I keep getting directed to help screens which are no help.
Any solutions? Is there a "generic" serial number I can enter to get my upgrades installed?
I have a photoshoot that I need to edit asap. I really don't want to have to go back to CS3 version.
Thank you to anyone who can help!

Doglovr1 you will want to locate the qualifying full version serial number which qualifies you to upgrade to CS6. I did review your account and the only full version serial number was for an education version of Photoshop Lightroom.
I would recommend contacting our support team directly at Contact Customer Care to see if the qualifying full version serial number can be found. Also I would recommend referencing case 0181578817 which is your previous case from 2010.

Extension Manager 2.1 for Mac crashes when trying to install any extension

Hi,
I have the Adobe Extension Manager 2.1 installed on a Mac running Mac OS X 10.5.6. I updated all the latest Adobe and Apple software.
I tried to install MXP files for Adobe AIR, jQuery, and Drupal, but doing so crashes the Extension Manager. I tried uninstalling it using the Photoshop installer (which is what installed the Manager initially), but this didn't help.
The Manager also crashes when I try to open the Help > About the dialogue, both from the main window and from the menu bar.
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance!
Rémi

Reading the thread linked below resolved my problem. I only had to uninstall Safari 4 Beta before I could use the Extension Manager.

Can a computer crash disable (break) an external hard drive?

Can a computer crash disable (break) an external hard drive (FW800)?
My mac pro started to see programs crash. First one, that wouldn't 'force quit', then a minute later a second. This had happened before last year, so i started quitting apps to restart. At the end, half of them i succeeded to quit and about 4 wouldn't quit. The finder was frozen/crashed, no dock or apple menu or any menu for that matter. The mouse moved. i could shortcut 'force quit' and 'return' on default OKs.
So i powerbuttoned down. On rebooting, the volumes on the Mercury Elite* unit in question didn't mount. I looked for them with disk utility but nothing. So i then examined the unit. A soft clicking noise was emanating and the power adapter was HOT!
The two drives are now in the mac pro internally and are working fine. But before i took them out, i tested the pins on the power adapter with a voltmeter, according to the schematic on the adapter itself and i got 5,5v on the one side and 13 odd v on the other. Apparently what's supposed to be coming out. (5v and 12v)
Can a powerbutton shutdown shoot electricity through the FireWIre bus? Any ideas?

Can a computer crash disable (break) an external hard drive (FW800)?
No, but it could damage files or the directory structure, so the drive wouldn't mount. Disk Utility should be able to fix it by erasing or partitioning, but you would lose the data on the drive.

You may have bad RAM, or other hardware problems. Have you run the extended Apple Hardware Tests. Boot from the install DVD while pressing "D". Try removing any non-Apple RAM modules.

Some power supplies will put out more than the rated voltage if there is nothing attached, but 5.5 V and 13 V are not high enough to cause damage, anyway.

No.

I Have a Ipod Classic that all my music is on. After my previous computer crashed I have not had any of my music able to be transfered to the new computer from the Ipod. Is there a way to do this

I Have a Ipod Classic that all my music is on.
After my previous computer crashed I have not had any of my music able to be transfered to the new computer from the Ipod.
Is there a way to do this?

Unfortunately, unless you have a backup and can restore the iTunes library to the new computer, you are stuck with the current state of the iPod. This is one of those things that makes doing backups so important.
Unless your music is all purchased from iTunes (not from your own CD's that you imported into iTunes and then downloaded to the iPod), you will be able to re-download all your iTunes store music back to the iPod when you install iTunes on the new computer. When you first attach the iPod to the new computer and new iTunes the first time it will tell you that this iPod is synced with another iTunes library and let you initialize the iPod (which will erase everything on the iPod - so don't do this unless you don't care about the stuff on the iPod now).
I've seen 3rd party apps in the past that will let you copy music/content from iPod to computer and bypass iTunes, but not sure if they still exist as this was several years ago.
good luck

when you were install your cs3 you should have been prompted for you serial number. were you?
if not, you probably didn't properly install cs3. copying/migrating/moving etc is problematic.
if yes, did you see any error messages during installation?
if yes, attach a screenshot of the error message.
if not, check you install logs, Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CC

Setup Error when trying to install any adobe CS6 Product

I have analyzed the PDApp.log after trying to install any product, as Photoshop or Flash Pro (where I get "Installer failed to initialize. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."), and there's 1 particular part, that seems to attract my attention:
"[FATAL] Setup - Error installing C:\(installation path)\packages\core\PDApp.pimx package.
Return Value of pim_installPackage = -1"
Before, the log also says that getInstalledPackageSize: Package folder does not exist on the system.

Sry for my bad english I am german. I hope you could understand me

It could be that previous installs or your system is causing an error. See if running the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool application on your system and running a fresh install fixes the issue.
Start by restarting your computer, don't launch any applications, if applications automatically launch quit them all. This includes the Creative Cloud desktop application.
To quit out of the Creative Cloud desktop application - refer to the following link: Creative Cloud for desktop FAQ
You are now ready to run the CC Cleaner Tool – See the following page for information: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
If that doesn't work let us know and also provide a bit of information about the system you are using. For example are you on a Mac or PC, what operating system version (e.g. Windows 8.1, or OSX 10.10 etc). So we can review possible system related issues.

For anyone that comes across this. I managed to fix the problem. It had something to do with the date on my computer. Mavericks installer apparently does a date check of some sort and that is where the error is coming from. Open terminal and check the system date. It may be wrong. Another poster in the forums told me how to to check the date and change it. Click here for the link to the explanation. Be careful because the date is in a weird format.

I am trying to install the driver for a Wacom Bamboo Pad. The dmg from Wacom downloadsand will opens, but when I try to install it the message "Install Wacom Tablet.pkg" can't be opened because the Identity of the developer cannot be conﬁrmed"

iMac late 2009 3,06GHz Intel Core Duo; 500gb hard drive, 12gb memory. OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)
'“Install Wacom Tablet.pkg" can't be opened because the Identity of the developer cannot be conﬁrmed.'
I have been trying to install the driver for a Wacom Bamboo Pad. There are several driver packages listed on the website (the device is supplied ready to run with Windows devices) and I have tried tried downloading all the available drivers which apply to my set-up. Some will not open at all and I get a 'Damaged' message on my screen. Of the ones which open, I can download the .dmg and expand it but when clicked it opens as a window with multiple choice of languages and an icon which instructs you to click to open.
If I do this some versions repeat the 'damaged' message but the later ones generate a window saying:-
'“Install Wacom Tablet.pkg" can't be opened because the Identity of the developer cannot be conﬁrmed.' - this is as far as I can get it to go; most frustrating!
I understand that Apple's security updates have recently included an alteration that causes this result, and that there is supposed to be a legal (i.e. Apple sanctioned) workaround to allow files like this to be opened. If this is so, can anyone enlighten me?

Many Thanks, Kurt.
I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)

My computer crashed and I lost my hard drive. I have downloaded the itunes to my new pc. How do I sync my Iphone without loosing everything??

My computer crashed and I lost my hard drive. I have downloaded the Itunes on my new computer. I am afraid to sync my I phone as I don't want to loose everything on it and my I Tunes is blank - not what I had previously. ???? Can someone advise?

Prevent automatic syncing one time, without changing settings: Open iTunes. Then, as you connect iPhone to your computer, press and hold Shift-Control (on a PC) until you see iPhone appear in the sidebar. Then, use iTunes File menu > Transfer Purchases from XXX's iPhone. This will transfer your purchased items.
For your other stuff you will need a 3rd party utility. Find discussion of them here
Unlike music and video purchases, iTunes Store Apps can be downloaded again without charge. This explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

HT1338 I have HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw and trying to install the driver on my mac pro; it gives me the error message that the driver is not available.

Hi,
I have HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw and trying to install the driver on my mac pro; it gives me the error message that the driver is not available.

Typically this is caused by the internal list of compatible devices in the Mac being out of date. All you should need to do is disconnect the printer from the Mac, run Apple Software Update (even if there are no updates, the list will still update), restart the Mac, connect the printer to the Mac, and add the print queue. If that doesn't work, let me know.
I am a printer tech for HP.

Rasco1 it sounds like your managed network needs to be configured to allow you to download successfully. You can find more details in Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html.
