Can I buy a new graphics controller for my specific model computer that will support The Sims 3?
Need to know what model the laptop is.
The error is saying that your video card/adapter doesn't support at least shader model 2.0 and the game needs it in order to run.
if you have windows xp i would download the latest directx 9.0c from microsoft.com and also get the latest video drivers for your video card.
if those 2 don't help (i'm sure it won't) then that's all you can do for that laptop.
You can also go to canirunit.com and select the game you're planning on running and let it do a system check and it will tell you if your system can really run that game or not.
There are many great and inexpensive laptops you can get nowadays for no more $500 that can run even newer games on.

When I tried to open a fresh iTunes download my computer gave the error message : 'program cannot run in DOS mode'. Since both items are Apple, why might this be happening?
Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

I cannot utilize my Adobe documents - I get this error message - “You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help.”
Thank you! My solution was different. I had turned off services in MSCONFIG and did not turn them back on. After I turned services back on, Acrobat started working again without the nag error and impedance to use the program. I appreciate your input! Adobe customer service/tech support was dismally disappointing.

I am trying to load iTunes and keep getting a error 126 and reinstall program. I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice and keep getting the same error message. How can this be resolved?
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Turned out that I mad some minor mistakes, which I fixed (hopefully) and published an new Version (successfully, I guess). Now I need to update the purchased book to cheeck if everything is ok.
There IS an Update in the iBookstore, but trying to run the update ends up in an error message "you cannot update this item".
My fault? Not my fault? What to do?
Has anyone an idea?It took quite a while to find this:
Dear xy,
Thank you for purchasing “Inside Apple”. A new version of the book is available to you at no charge.
Here is how to download the new version:
1) Tap the iBooks app on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. If you are already in the iBookstore, tap on “Library”.
2) Tap the “Edit” button.
3) Locate “Inside Apple”, tap “Edit” and then “Delete” to delete the book.
4) Tap the “Done” button.
5) Tap the “Store” button, scroll down to the bottom of the page and sign out of your account.
6) The page will refresh. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and sign back in to your account.
7) If you are not already in the “Purchases” page, tap the “Purchases” icon at the bottom right corner of your screen.
8) Locate “Inside Apple” in your purchases and tap the “Redownload” button.
You will now have the updated version of the iBook in your library. Thank you for being a loyal Apple customer and have a great day!

I cannot open my Yahoo Mail but everything else is OK. When I click Yahoo Mail Icon, I get this error message "Safari Cannot open this page. Safari can not establish secure connection with Yahoo Mail.
It sounds as though a script on the site, or an advertisement, is not working quite right...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies using either of these. Save any pending work first.
While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"

Get Error Message "itunes cannot run because some of its required files ...
complete message that i see in a pop-up window -- "itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes".
I check windows update. Microsoft says I'm up to date. When I reinstall ipod off the CD and/or itunes/quicktime from iTunesSetup.exe file version 7.0.2.16 it installs ok. If I choose unintall then reinstall or if I repair the itunes software the install program says everything is fine.
However when I connect to Ipod. The ipod window comes up in itunes and then shuts down real fast. Itunes continues to work but i can't see the ipod.
The showstopper happens when i shut down itunes after the attempt to connect the ipod. When I restart itunes i get the message -- "itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes".
Reinstall **** resumes.
What files are missing?
It would be nice if the interface offered more details. Or I could go online to a self diagnostic and repair web page like Microsoft offers.
Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler. -- Einstien..
I think things are too simple...
What are my options?
Help Please."itunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall itunes".
Just uninstall and reinstall. If you get some kind of error in the uninstall process, then if it were me, I'd use windows system restore to restore your system right before the original install of iTunes. Even if you don't get the error when you uninstall, it sounds to me like it hasn't been installed properly. So if you decide to go with system restore and the same thing happens, I would download a fresh copy of iTunes installer from their website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Make sure you download the one for Windows.
"I check windows update. Microsoft says I'm up to date."
This is because that you are. Microsoft has nothing to do with iTunes updates. -

After connect to itunes, message "itunes has detected iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes." appear.
In Device -> iphone screen, after clicking "Restore" button, itunes status become "Extracting software..."
During extracting software process, iPhone change from "connect to itunes" screen to just "apple logo", then go back to "connect to itunes" screen; but at the same time device-iphone disappear from itunes; once itunes complete extracting software, error message comes out "The iphone "iphone" could not be restored. The device cannot be found"
Tried again few times with all USB device removed & turn off all the anti-virus software and all other non window / non-apple softwares; but same thing happened.
so now I'm stuck.... please help.after reading loads of forum, I didn't find anyone with the exact issue as mine. But I've followed some of the restore issue solution and now I've fixed my phone. Yeah! maybe not all the steps are necessary, but here was what I've done to fix it:
1. update itunes
2. Ensure Apple Mobile device driver is updated and work (i.e. iphones is detected in device manager)
3. run "msconfig", ensure all other non microsoft / non apple softwares are off
- Services: only enable all microsoft services, apple mobile device and bonjour service
- Startup: only enable QTTask & iTunesHelper
4. Restart computer
5 turn on itunes
6. connect iphones via USB.
7. itunes show iphone in device column, but iphone still stay in "connect to itunes" screen
8. Hold Sleep button + Home button until the screen goes dark (iphone disappear from itunes device column at the same time), then just keep holding the home button (without holding the sleep button)
9. first time, though itunes showa iphone in the device column again, but iphone screen go from apple icon straight to "connect to itunes" screen and stay there again.
10. I repeat step 8, this time though itunes show iphone in the device column again, but the iphone screen stay dark showing nothing (instead of showing "connect to iTunes" screen)
11. then I click restore in itunes, this time it manages to finish extracting software without iphone restarting itself during the process; itunes find the iphone and complete the restore.
12. As I do backup all the time, now I just need to sync all the files / setting back to iphone, everything back to normal again.
still not sure what happened to my phone, but now it's fix => -
Hi,
One of our users encountered this problem with Excel 2013 while creating pivot tables, particularly with large files. We tried to modify Virtual Memory
of the pc but error still persist. Why does this happen and how can we resolve this? Thanks.
Another error message encountered by the user, this time when opening large files. The files she tried to open are working fine in 2010. But when opened in 2013, it prompted : "There
isn't enough memory to complete this action. Try using less data or closing other applications."Hi,
In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
Did your user using the Excel 2013 and Excel 2010 with same PC? If not, please let me know the both of the 2 PCs' hardware list/Windows operation system info.
Did you using Excel 2013 32bit version and Excel 2010 64bit version?
General speaking, this issue usually occurs with Office 2013 32 bit version. It has a limitation of 2Gb of memory that can be used by its process. And the 64-bit Excel can handle larger workbooks.
Thus, if your user using 32bit Excel, I recommend try 64bit Excel instead.
Here is a similar issue, we also could try it:

Then I bought some other games apps through WiFi. then when I try to synchronize, I lost my productivity apps and just keep those buy on WiFi.

Error Message - "Aperture cannot access this library"
I'm using OS 10.5.7 and Aperture 2.1.3. I recently had an error message pop-up when I try to start Aperture that says, "Aperture cannot access this library. To use this library, make sure its file permissions are set correctly." Unfortunately, I can't seem to open up my library. Any ideas how to fix this or what is wrong? Thanks
Hello,
attached I would like to report how the problem solved.
1. I had 63 Minute Call to Apple Support and we are tring some things. Finally I Spend spend 1 day for testing.
2. Testing procedure:
A) I exported each project step by step
B) Than I deleted all appr. 50 projects in Aperture Library.
C) After that I Imported each project to Aperture back.
Result: 2 Project was corrupted, one of it was going well after export/import procedure how ever but the second ones error was constant appearing if I try to import it. The project consisting of 512 jpg files in total appr. 500MB.
The solution for this project:
I moved this jpg´s to waste bin und imported it from waste bin to Aperture again into a new project. Than I tested it again(Export/import) and it was fine.
For final check I delete my Aperture backup und start a new one.
Than start a compleate restoring from that last backup.
Every thing was fine, all project include albums or books are ok.
The pictures in the corrupted project was not imported by Aperture, they was created on a PC system(XP). Maybe that was the reason for the problem.
A friend sad, that windows use not the agreed standard for jpg´s.
I don´t know. So I´m happy all my books are back that is imported for a wedding photographer.
Have fun

Startup error message - Could not run this script because of a disk error.
I uninstalled Dates-to-iCal-Launcher and couldn't find any info about how to uninstall it online (just dragged the icon from Applications to the Trash). Now every time I start my iBook, I get an error message from Dates-to-iCal Launcher (there is an icon that looks like a scroll on the left):
Could not run this script because of a disk error.

How do I get rid of this error message? It happens every time I turn on the computer. Thank you!thanks for the update.
there is no risk when changing settings in any OS user interface like System Preferences etc.
there could be some risk in manually deleting files from Library folders, which is done sometimes to uninstall applications.
keep in mind to regularly back up important files. -
