Virtual PC 7 installation freeze

I am trying to install Virtual PC 7 with Windows XP Home on a G5 iMac running 10.4.11 in order to use a medical program that is only available for Windows.
After entering my username and the Virtual PC product key, the "Continue" button stays dimmed and I can't proceed any further. There are no error messages or other prompts, and MS support is non-existent at this time.
Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

Try this link in the video description https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdPua-wb0wo. It has a download link for virtual PC that works fine. If you dont have a copy of windows xp and you were planning to use the one that came with virtual PC then there are 2 possible things that could be wrong with yours. The serial number could be too short or the serial code has already been used. I hope I am of some help to you.  Good luck.

  • Windows 7 installation freezes at "Completing installation"

    Hi!
    I'm trying to install Windows 7 on my mid-2010 Macbook Pro 13". I'm running Lion and have installed all avaliable updates.
    I've created the partition in BootCamp and the installation starts but when it gets to "completing installation", just after the computer has rebooted the installation freezes and I'm forced to shut down the computer.
    This is what I've tried:
    * To burn several different Windows 7 iso file on DVD's with different speed (from the disk utilities).
    * Remove all USB connections (which is none since I've a wireless mouse)
    Then I've no idea what to do more
    One thing that could be the reason is that I (before trying to install Windows 7) had to repair my hard drive (which I did from the disk utilities) and I might have done some sort of misstake there...
    Please help!

    No help needed anymore, finally managed to install it
    The solution was (probably) to eject the CD when the computer reboots and then continue the installation as normal.
    I'm not 100% sure this was the solution but anyways, now I've Windows installed.

  • Adobe Reader 9 installation freezes computer

    upon running the installation for adobe reader 9, setup gets to 99.90 percent, then a new window comes up, similar to the installation window. Estimated time remaining gets to 9 seconds, then the installation freezes, and so does everything else. A cold reboot is required...
    I'm currently using foxit reader to read PDFs (Also, programs that print to PDF files cause a similar freeze.
    Computer details:
    Vista 32 bit Home premium.
    3gb ram
    300+gb hard disk space more than 50gb free
    Dell inspiron 530 desktop
    Spyware doctor - Avira antivir - and Threatfire installed
    Interestingly enough, this is being typed in an open firefox window as the installer is frozen, along with the desktop and taskbar.
    Additional details:
    Reader (at that time version 8)
    Along with PDFcreator both worked perfectly on my system
    After reinstalling windows to clear my system *and changing antivirus to Avira - note no security issues are flagged by avira when installer runs*
    Pdf creator went buggy. Pdfs printed by PDF creator would freeze when Reader tried opening them. (Although after restarting the system those same pdfs could be opened)
    An attempt to repair the Adobe reader installation for version 8 failed, Then Opening Reader alone would freeze my computer. And I had to crudely uninstall Reader as a result. *May have left files - but I've scoured the Temp folders for them*
    Anyway, installing adobe reader 9 then led to the error. (Interestingly, adobe reader 9 did appear installed after a cold reboot, and worked, however it dissapeared after the next normall restart.
    &I've tried installing using a new acc, same error.
    &FOxit reader works
    &Adobe version 8 does not appear on my system.
    &All normal computer functions seem to work..(Although a video on Gamespot recently displayed buggy stuff, not related i think)
    &Installations of other programs work
    &i've tried installing in a different directory
    &Spyware doc, Threatfire, and Avira scans come up clean.
    Just restarted *cold reboot*
    The system took a long time to shut down *held the power button for longer*
    And the hard disk didnt stop spinning for a very long time...
    It also took a very long time to start the computer
    Also, running an installer makes me undo the changes made by the adobe reader 9 installation, since it was suspeneded.

    Use the Microsoft Installer Cleanup to remove vestiges of any version of
    Reader in your Registry. Then turn off all antivirus and spyware
    programs. Then try to re-install

    Is it the Download assistant that is freezing or is it the web browser that freezes?

  • Cannot install Flash Player-Installer freezes

    Running OS 10.10.2
    Was unable to update, so followed instructions and uninstalled entire Flash app. Have downloaded update 3 times. Installer freezes during download/install process at 25% and does not continue.
    Now I have no Flash and am unable to install.
    Forum shows several other users with same problem; none of their posts have been answered.

    joseywales41's solution worked for me (Please try the offline installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the 'Still having problems' section.)
    Everything is back to normal now.  Thanks!

    Why do you want to install that on your ThinkPad?  It's for ThinkCentre desktop computers, not ThinkPad laptops.

  • Installer freezes up

    I have a Mac with OSX Verson 10.6.8, 2GHz processor. Whenever I download a file, the installation freezes the computer.  I need to go to the "activity Monitor"and quit the installer in order to unfreeze the computer.  The % CPU usage by the installer is always very high.  It seemed to first occur when I updated Adobe.  I reinstalled it but to not avail.  Any idea what I can do next.

    Download and apply the Etrecheck program then copy or paste the report here.   This is a perfectly safe program which gives you (and us) a basic overview of your system.    In itself it will not solve your problem but it may well give pointers towards the causes.

  • Registering iTunes Automation Server installation freeze

    Hi all. Long and detailed question, but I've been searching everywhere and am at my breaking point.
    I searched for others with this issue and found a few people who complained about it, but the only responses suggested using the SpyCatcher deactivation when installation freezes at registering modules. That's not the issue here.
    I upgraded to the latetst version and lost my abilitiy to open iTunes. It would launch (tracked in Task Manager) but wouldn't opne. Following advice I found on here (apple support docs and forum advice), I completely uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime.
    Now, though, when I try to install, I get a clean install of Quicktime, but when installing iTunes, it gets all the way to "Registering iTunes Automation Server" and then freezes. The first time I left it for hours and no progress, and subsequent attempts to uninstall and reinstall hit the same point.
    I'm running a Dell x64 pentium with WinXP sp2. I have ZA internet security suite which I disable for the install (though it never posed problems before and the ZA forums don't show people having install issues). Likewise, run multiple AV and malware scans, patches are updated and current.
    The only thing I can even think of is that iTunes was initially installed under a different user account than the one with admin privileges, but since I've wiped all the accounts of any traces of iTunes and QT using CCleaner and Registry Mechanic after unintalls using the Windows Installer Clean-up utility, I can't see why that would be the issue.
    I know this is a tough one, but it's so frustrating for me and my wife not to be able to update our iPods or manage our music.
    Thanks.

    I have the same exact problem, I got an iPhone 4 and when i connected to the iTunes i had earlier for my iPhone 3g, it told me to download a compatible version for the iPhone 4. So i went ahead and did that, and since then the iTunes install freezes on "Registering iTunes automation server" I have tried everything possible out there but no luck so far..
    I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thank you Kindly
