Desktop Software incompatibility with Windows 7

Good day! I downloaded the latest BlackBerry Desktop Software on my pc but when I tried to run it, a dialog box appeared telling me that the software was not a valid Win32 application. I am using Windows 7 on my laptop. I met the system requirements so I'm wondering why it isn't working. I used Firefox to download it btw. Please help. Thank you.

This worked for me
Find the installer, right click, properties, click the compatibility tab, tick the "Run this program
in compatibility mode for" Choose Vista from the drop down box, click OK!
Then carry on as normal!

  • Lenovo G405 Incompatibility with Windows Vista-32 bit

    Hello I'm new here so I wasn't so sure if this is properly posted here but thanks.
    I bought a Lenovo G405 laptop that came with dos 6.22 or 6.2.2 or something. Then I performed a clean installation of Windows Vista 32-bit. The problem is that, I can't find any drivers for lenovo g405 that is compatible with windows vista .. Even the AMD Auto diagnostic tool refuses to install the detected driver since it was Hardware/Software Incompatible. Any suggestions? or Links for Win Vista Drivers for Lenovo g405. Thanks!

    If your model is lacking the correct Vista drivers from Lenovo and Vista doesn't offer native support then I see upgrading to Windows 7 as your only option.  Here is a link to what Lenovo drivers are available.......

  • Installig Blackberry Desktop Software on a windows 8 PC

    I am having problems installing the blackberry desktop software on my OS WINDOWs 8 to allow me tether my smartphone with my desktop for me to enjoy d data plan for my internet connectivity.
    I have downloaded the software but Windows tells me that " that I need .NET FRAMEWORK 35 sp 1"
    I have been able to manually tune it on via d control panel, yet is asking me for internet access for other files, which was my reason for all this.....I don't have internet now, what do I do? Every time I try to click 'install', it says same thing.

  • BT Desktop Help Incompatible with Windows 8.1

    After updating my PC from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 (64-bit) - I found the Windows Desktop Help wouldn't run.  I had earlier updated BT Help to it's latest version.
    The error I got was:
    Minimum specification
    We have detected that you are using an operating system not currently supported by BT Desktop Help. The supported operating systems are :
    Windows XP SP1 or higher (32-bit)
    Windows Vista
    Windows 7
    Windows 8
    This isn't a particularly high priority issue, but it is irritating and as Windows 8.1 has been trailed for quite a while now it does seem a little embarrassing to BT that they couldn't have resolved this in their latest BT Help release.

    Had the same problem... updated to W 8.1 on the given hour, then just an hour or so later had a info window to update my dth... then got the same incompatibility info window as mentioned above. As already said, 8.1 has been available for developers for some considerable time, just what we have come to expect from BT I guess. The BT vision OS [Oregon?] is absolute **bleep**, we cancelled ours its so bad, continual freezing & certainly less intuitive than the old os. I emailed bt earlier regarding 8.1 & dth this is before i read this posting, i got back a long winded 'fix' [see below, but dont waste your time trying it! as others have said dth is a load of **bleep** & didnt work properly anyways]... what a bunch of a-h's when they know dth doesn't work with 8.1!!! I have a dislike for Murdock & all he stands for but through necessity, can see us going with sky next year... been with BT for a good few years, the past 2 have seen service, both technical & practical plummit at an alarming & continuing rate..
    disgusted!!!

  • Using Desktop software on different Windows platforms?

    Dumb question from Blackberry newbie. I have a desktop with Windows Vista 64 bit and Outlook 2007 plus a laptop with Windows XP 32 bit and Outlook 2003. If I install Blackberry Desktop software on both will they work on same Storm smartphone, or am I looking for trouble?

    Hi Ory69 and welcome to Discussions,
    from the requirements you provided, I don't see a hinderance not to use Guardian Edge as long as you use Windows XP.
    Why Windows Vista is not mentioned is a little mysterious, but might have a reason.
    The MBP meets these requirements.
    Only thing that could be a hinderance is the section with the 'BIOS Int 13h'.
    According to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INT_13 the Int 13h is a Low Level Disk Services, which can cause trouble on a Mac, since Macs don't have a BIOS, but use the EFI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExtensibleFirmwareInterface , which is the successor of BIOS.
    If Guardian Edge is relying on the presence of a BIOS, this can be a reason why it won't work on a Mac with BootCamp Windows.
    So it might be wise, to contact Guardian Edge asking them if they see/know of problems using their software on a Mac.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • PIXMA MX512 software incompatiblilty with Windows Live Mail

    I recently bought a PIXMA MX512 and followed the instruction for installing the MX510 series software onto my 64 bit Windows 7 PC.  Then I started randomly getting wlmail (Windows Live Mail) errors with messages that make no sense.  I went back to a restore point before installing the software and the errors stopped.  I conclude at least one of the drivers or utilities must be incompatible with Windows Live Mail.  My Windows and virus protection is all up-to-date, and I have tried the Repair all on Windows Essentials 2012.
      Does anyone else have experience with the MX510 series software while using Windows Live Mail.  I guess my plan now is do another system restore and try adding just one piece of software at a time to see if I can figure out which has the conflict, unless someone here has run into this and knows another solution.

    Hello.
    Pleaes try downloading the latest MP Driver for the unit to see if this resolves your issue.  The program can be downloaded at the following link:

    Hi there!
    I agree...a full start over is in order. And, for your easier reference, here is the procedure that I give out.
    I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista/Win7, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
    1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
    2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
    KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
    Some have reported that there are more registry keys to remove than are discussed in that KB
    Others have reported the use of a registry cleansing tool to also be helpful
    3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
    https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code​=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
    Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchronizing via USB):
    KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
    4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/dow​nload_sites.jsp
    5) Install DTM to your PC
    6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
    Hopefully that will get things going again.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Blackberry Desktop Software conflicts with Norton 2009

    Hi,
    I bought a new Blackberry Pearl 8110 and tried to install the Blackberry Desktop Software on my Dell XPS 420 using Windows Vista. I installed it and when I rebooted my computer, my Norton Internet Security 2009 went crazy & it said that my Norton subscription had expired, even though I still had 391 days left on my subscription and all of my settings were off and disabled. The Symantec Tech. tried to fix my Norton twice & I told him it was fine until I installed the Blackberry Software - so I uninstalled the software and the Norton went back to normal. Do I actually need the Desktop Software or will my phone be fine without it? I want to add Music, Ringtones, Pictues & update my Calendar, can I just do that on my phone? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
    I was told to go to the link & download the newest version. I did that also & same senario.

    Lisa,
    I have Desktop Manager 4.7 (without the media files as Roxio takes too long to load) and Norton Internet Security 2009 and all works just fine.  Just for your reference.

  • TS1388 Touchp pad problem (Incompatibility with Windows 8)

    Hello;
    In addition to the Mac OS, I also use Windows on my Mac computer.
    Everything was OK with Windows 7, but I updated the OS to Windows 8.
    Everything worked fine in general; however the touch pad is not
    supported in any way. Even though I can get the required driver (Apple
    Multitouch) online from device manager, I am getting "Code 18" error
    when installing it. The touch pad on Mac is not working in any way
    with Windows 8.
    As another issue, I am also having problems with "HID Non-User Input
    Data Filter". It says I have the current software, but it is not
    installing and this device can also not be used. I guess it is not
    supporting Windows 8.
    I do need your assistance to resolve both of these problems. I
    contacted Microsoft previously and was adviced to get in touch with
    you.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    MDT 2013 requires the ADK for Windows 8.1, regardless of what OS you are deploying (Windows 7, 8, 8.1).
    You can use the ADK for Windows 8 to deploy Windows 8, but you would have to use it with MDT 2012 Update1.

  • Desktop Software Conflict with Webroot Security

    Anybody having issues with Webroot Internet Security Essentials causing the new v6.0.0.11 of BB Desktop Software to CRASH and freeze the darn computer???  I can only run the update with Webroot turned off, despite telling the Firewall in Webroot that the RIM software is allowed.
    Of course, contacting RIM on this is impossible so does anybody have a solution???
    Thanks!!
    Dave

    Naney,
    I'm a big fan of AVG and I also use the Desktop Manager, however, I haven't experienced your specific issue. Ensure that you are using the newest version of the AVG and BB DM software and see if it resolved the issue.
    Also do you get any errors that you can provide to us?
    Hope this helps,
