Attempting to install cs6 extended on my windows 7 professional 32 bit laptop, ive downloaded it but when i go to install it it asks for my serial number which i put in and then it tells me it is a valid number but cannot find a qualifying product on this computer?? What is the problem?

Normally you will be asked to provide the new prdouct serial number first, then when a qualifying version is not found you elect to provide that information and then select the version and provide its serial number. If this is not how things are flowing for you then you should contact Adobe support directly thru chat and get their help resolving it.

Windows XP Professional 64-bit laptop

Just wanted to know if I can install vista 64-bit version of iTunes on a 64-bit XP machine. I read in another thread that vista 64-bit itunes installer file name is something like iTunes64setup.exe. where can I find that file because on iTunes download page it only lets you download iTunessetup.exe file. Is there a way to get iTunes to work on a 64-bit windows xp pro machine?
Thanks for your insight!

I tried what's in the link but didn't work for me any other suggestions.
thanks,

I have photoshop 6 on a dead pc laptop with windows XP. Have a pc laptop that has been upgraded from Vista 64 bit (where phootshop 6 wouldn't install) to windows 7 professional 32 bit (clean install). Photoshop still won't install. Also having reinstallation issues with pse6 on this same pc. Pse6 was installed and working on vista 64bit version of the OS, now won't install on rebuilt windows professional 7 32bit (keeps giving me serial number not valid errors). I'm not trying to pirate these programs. Just want to reinstall them.

you need,
Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4, 5, or 6a, or Windows Millennium
Microsoft Windows 98/Millennium/2000/NT 4.0 (Service Pack 4, 5, or 6a required)

TS1717 Having trouble running iTunes version 11.0.2 on a Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1. Keep getting an error message "the software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly..." reinst

Having trouble when I launch iTunes (version 11.0.2) on my Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1). I get an error message indicating software required to communicate with iPod and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? I normally respond with OK and it immediately tells me "could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes..." I have done this a number of times to no avail.

I also notice Quicktime is not getting installed at all.
That one is normal nowadays (ever since the iTunes versions 10.5.x).
The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Windows 7 Professional isn't loading on my laptop

Hello, I have an HP Elitebook 8540w laptop with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on it. Few days ago I updated few programs which my laptop showed that they need to be updated. On the next day I started my laptop but it just didn’t want to load the Windows. I am not very competent when it comes to computers and operating systems, but I am very good in following instructions. So I will describe the problem and what I do, in details and with screenshots, and I hope some of you can help me.
Here’s what’s happening:
I press the power button, a screen with the HP logo appears and then a black screen with the usual message 'Starting Windows', but without Windows logo over it. Here’s a screenshot:
It stays like this for few minutes then Windows Error Recovery appears:
Then Startup Repair starts to load and try to repair the Windows, but it fails and shows this message:
If I click on 'View problem details' this is what it shows:
If I close this window and click on “View diagnostic and repair details” this is what it shows:
What I notice here is the line: 'Windows directory = D:\Windows', but my Windows is installed on local disk C. I don’t know if this is how it’s supposed to look like.
Then I close this diagnostic window and click on 'View advanced options for system recovery and support'
I chose a language and login to my user account with my password and it leads me to 'System Recovery Options'.
Here I notice again the line: 'Operating system: Windows 7 on (D Local Disk', but like I’ve said my Windows is on Local Disk C.
The first option - Startup Repair – obviously doesn’t work since I have already tried it, so I choose the second one – 'System Restore'. First it shows me a window box telling me what System Restore does, I click 'Next' and then it brings me to a window where I chose the restore point:
There is only one restore point. If I click on the 'Scan for affected programs' button it shows me these programs:
I remember that these were the programs that I updated the day before my windows crushed. And if I remember correctly, the message that I need to update these programs came from Avast antivirus. I don’t know why though…
Anyway, so I chose the restore point and click on 'Next' and then it brings this message:
I click on 'Finish' and a message saying 'Once started, System Restore cannot be interrupted. Do you want to continue?' appears. I click on 'Yes' and System Restore starts.
It loads for a few minutes and then shows a message saying that it didn’t complete successfully:
When I run the command chkdsk /R in the Command Prompt window this is the message I get:
I also tried entering Windows in Safe Mode, but it also doesn’t load.
I don’t know what to do. I really need my laptop since I work with it. I work as a freelancer and I have very important information on my Local disk D. I am backing up my most important folder on an external hard drive but there has been some time since my last back up and a lot of files aren’t backed up.

Hi:
The only suggestion I can offer would be to get to that command prompt repair option again, and see if any of the info at the link below is of help to you:

Hi, Good Morning Everybody, I wish somebody here would advise me of my problem, Thanks.
Problem of Laptop
=================
[Message 01]
Hi, I bought X1 Carbon and found an error message when right click on the
1st page after startup. The error message reads
Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library

For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see
the Visual C++ documentation on asserts.
(Press Retry to debug the application)
By right, right click should show the menu of View, Sort by, Refresh,
......Screen resolution, Gadgets, Personalize, but just cannot access
into the right click menu immediately. I have to wait more 3 minutes and
get out of the error message, then the right click menu appear. Why is
this so?
Please advise how to eliminate the message and have the right click menu
immediately. Should I bring the laptop to your service center for repair
or you can email me the steps to solve this problem.

hi, head of customer service,
below is a chat log i had online for your review. My concern is that
everybody work for a living - if u r the specialist in this field, i
respect that u can foresee what is going to happen if u tell somebody who
is not a specialist to do a specialist's job. U should be able to provide
advice n the possible outcome if things do not work out right, because it
is the end user who needs to face it n live with it. Take for example, if
the office building was on fire n the human instinct is to fight fire
first. But the workers do not have the proper knowledge of fire n also
not equipped with good PPE. This worker probably called the fire
department to report a fire, n at the same time the fire department
specialist at the other end of the line told that worker to
"troubleshoot" the fire without giving him the possible outcome if the
fire blown out of scale, what price this worker will have to pay.
My questions are:
a) what is the goal of having on-line chat service? Is it to resolve
simple technical issues, that's why an average IT worker can do the job?
b) if the end user already knew the problem he is facing and he is
expecting the best advice/solution from an expert rather than from an
average IT worker, would it be better for the end user to go straight to
email? Or straight to the service center?
c) Is there a team work spirit between your chat section and service
center? Is it going to take a long time to communicate among themselves
when they face the same problem real time - meaning they can't talk to
each other over the phone to resolve the same problem which the end user
is facing? If they can discuss over the phone, and possibly the service
center also share the same steps to resolve the problem but could not be
sure if something goes wrong, the os of the laptop need to be
re-installed. Then, the end user would not have to do a double job - to
chat online and go down to the service center only find out that it is
the same answer. Would it be better for the chat person to do the double
job internally for the end user?

Saraswati (07:12:28):
Simaon , I would like to inform you that it is only the driver
reinstallation. It will hamper the system performance. It is the driver

Trying to install SAP Business One 8.8 on a clean Windows 7 professional pc

Hi, i am trying to install SAP Business One V 8.8 on a clean Windows 7 professional laptop. I need to install the server and client sides. I have already installed SQL server express 2005.
When i try to to install the server software I get the error message 1628 installation failed almost straight away. I ket the same message if I try and install the server tools, SBo server or outlook integration.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
Simon

Hi Simon,
Solution to Problem ID :1618
Try the following Steps :
1. Clear the 'Temporary' Folder of Windows 7 : Start ->Run->%temp%->Press 'Enter'->Select All & Delete
2. Restart your machine. (This is Must)
Actually it keeps an image of the previous installations, so always for re-installation you need to perform this steps.
Same is with Win 2008 Server editions also.
Now proceed with the installation and remember always run SBO installations in Windows 7 and 2008 Server by clicking on 'Run as Administrator'
Hope your problem would be solved.
Regards,
Saikat Roy

SMAX4PNP has an error message when closing down Windows XP Professional

I Have a Tecra A4 laptop which is approximately 4 years old ( Purchased 04/2005 ). Lately whenever I close windows, I get an error message that SMAX4PNP can not close down. It requires me to click on the "end now" button, which then makes that message go away. I then get another error message, which is never the same, which also requires me to click on the " end now " button. After I click the second "end now " button, Windows closes down. I am running Windows XP Professional SP3. Has anybody encountered the same problem and if so, how did you fix this problem?

SMax4PNP is associated with your sound hardware. You might try reinstalling the sound driver for that machine.

Problems after installing Windows 7 Professional on Thinkpad T61

I have an old T61 that had Windows Vista installed. I wanted to use Windows 7 but didn't want to wipe out what I already had (for various reasons). So I bought a new disk drive and did a clean install of Windows 7 Professional. The disk drive is a Western Digital Blue Notebook 1TB drive. After installing the drive in the machine, I followed these instructions to install Windows 7: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-74108. I chose to partition the drive into a C: drive (500GB) and a D: drive (431GB). After the install completed, I downloaded all the available Microsoft fixes (this took some time to complete).
For the Device Driver and Application install, I used the ThinkVantage System Update option. The site indicated that Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 with Service Pack 1 or later was required. I downloaded and installed version 4. There were additional Microsoft fixes for version 4, which I downloaded and installed also. Then I downloaded and installed ThinkVantage System Update 5.03. I then executed System Update and selected all the available updates. They all installed, except for Windows 7 Update Module KB2615763 64bit. This update, after failing, gave the option to install manually but when I click on that option I receive a pop up saying: Installer encountered an error: 0xc8000247. The title of the pop up says Windows Update Standalone Installer.
I then attempted to install various applications on the machine: FileZilla FTP Client, Google Chrome, Notepad++, PrimoPDF were all installed without problems. When I installed a Cisco VPN Client for 64 bit machines, however, I was knocked off the network. Clicking on the WiFi symbol in the task bar showed that I had only limited connectivity to the network. I tried to do a IPCONFIG /ALL and neither the WiFi adapter nor the Ethernet LAN adapter showed up in the list. I uninstalled the VPN Client, from the Control Panel, and was immediately able to connect to the network. An IPCONFIG /ALL now showed all the network adapters. I installed/uninstalled the VPN Client several times just to make sure that it was causing the problem of no network connectivity.
I fgured that there might be updated network adapter drivers available to resolve the problem so I attempted both System Update and Windows Update again. System Update showed nothing available, except Windows 7 Update Module KB2615763 64bit. Windows Update had a message saying "Check for updates for your computer" but when I clicked on "Check for updates" it popped up a message saying "Windows Update cannot check for updates because the service is not running. You may need to restart your machine." I checked and the Windows Update service is running. I stopped and restarted it but received the same message when I tried to check for updates again. I rebooted the machine and tried Windows Update again. Same pop up message.
I tried the "Fix problems with Windows Update" option in the Control Panel but received a message saying - An error occurred while troubleshooting: A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting. The error details say:
Package ID: WindowsUpdateDiagnostic
Path: Unknown
Error Code: 0x8E5E0247
Source: Engine
I tried some of the other troubleshooting options and they all give similar errors - An error occurred while troubleshooting: A problem is preventing the troubleshooter from starting.
I then thought it might be a disk drive problem so I tried to do a CHKDSK /F but when the machine reboots the CHKDSK seems to start (there is a message that says it can be interrupted by pressing a key within 10 seconds) then, before the 10 seconds are up, it ends without checking the disk and the machine continues to boot up.
Has anyone seen any of these problems before? Did I miss something? Could this be related to the disk drive? Or missing device drivers? Bios?
Any help with this will be appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

A laptop drive that size is almost certainly an AF drive. You can check by looking up the model's specs on the vendor's site. You can also use the fsutil command to check the drive's physical sector size and verify that the size isn't getting reported correctly - which is what usually causes the update problem.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982018
Expand the "Issue 6 Fsutil.exe tool" entry in that link for more info. The entire KB may also be helpful.
If my guess is actually the problem you won't have to reinstall Windows 7. Just update - or roll back - the driver. You might first try going to Device Manager, selecting the storage controller, and rolling back to an earlier driver.
If that works, configure ThinkVantage System Update to not show the offending driver, or this will happen again. If that doesn't do the job, go to Intel's site and find the latest Matrix Storage Manager or Rapid Storage Technology that is specified for your chipset and operating system. Or just try the latest and if that doesn't work, try earlier ones.
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Software+Products&ProductL...
Here's a local KB addressing this (presumed) issue: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-7-Knowledge-Base/Windows-Update-Fails-After-Installing-New-Hard-...
To repeat, this is a bit of a guess. It's pretty likely that your storage driver is the culprit. Either you need one new enough to support the physical size reporting ioctl, or you've been bitten by TVSU "updating" to a buggy driver. Either way the corrrect driver should fix things.

Which version of Safari for old old xp on Windows 7 Professional Virtual Machine?

Ok, ready for a challenge?
I've had the "competition" (yes a PC) for two years now.
SONY i5 Laptop V111 model series (more details if you need it) running WIndows 7 Professional Edition.
On the Main Desktop, Windows 7 Professional Edition is running the latest Safari as I prefer it as mostly have Macs but Work (College) runs in a PC mindset.
Now I have this XP Virtual Machine Desktop and have never been able to do much with it.
Finally found out why, it had no interconnection to the Internet, so now it has it through IE 8 (again sorry) but that successful installation today opened up the two year old question that I no longer have the store (Sony Style store closed here) to help me with answers.
Can I get a Safari for the XP Virtual Machine Desktop? It appears to be a 32-Bit version (despite the WIndows 7 Professional being the 64-bit version).
All I see is Safari for Mountain Lion. Maybe as I am not able to search properly from the PC, the Apple pages as I have on my Mac my home page is the Apple store and communities for questions/help. Where is the "older" Safari's hiding out?
Or maybe I don't need such an old version of Safari, as I can't find out which Safari works for my PC as whenever I go in it says my Mac version and I can't hide that since I'm using the Mac to access this Forum!
Please write if you are confused as I am and I'll find whatever information you need.
Thanks everyone!

Hi Cooljoe,
Based on my understanding, local machine control-alt-delete key combination is control-alt-delete.
Virtual PC's control-alt-delete key combination is Right Alt - Delete.
Remote Destop session's control-alt-delete key combination is ctrl + alt +
end.
There should be no conflicts between them.

Changed my windows to windows 7 professional and illustrator 8.0 won't setup

What do I have to do to get my laptop to setup my illustrator 8.0 since I changed to windows 7 professional? It says it can't set it up.

Jimmy,
You should be able to install and run AI8 in Windows 7 professional (and 8,1 for that matter).
You will probably need to run the computer in XP mode to install. Here is how:
Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7
To run AI8, you should be able to just run the computer normally and to specify that AI8 is to run in (XP) Compatibility maode, as follows:
1) RightClick the shortcut;
2) Click Properties;
3) Click Compatibility;
4) Tick Run this program in Compatibility mode for, then select XP in the dropdown list;
5) Start AI9.
Otherwise, search for Compatibility in the Windows Help and follow the instructions there.

ITunes Apple Application Support error on Windows 7 Professional PC HRESULT: 0x80070091

Hello,
ITunes suddenly stopped working on my Windows 7 Professional PC.
I was initially getting an Error 2 -- and I followed the instructions to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (restarted, updated Windows and ran CCleaner inbetween).
After the new install, I received the error:
Apple Application Support was not found.
I downloaded WinRAR and tried to install a standalone version of Apple Application Support. I still cannot start iTunes, and receive the following error message.
Error message:
An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT, type="win32",version='8.0.50727.6195",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e8e3b',processo rArchitecture='amd64'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070091.
I have a new laptop with Windows 8.1, and I want to transfer my libraries to it anyways. So, I'd like to either get iTunes functional on the Windows 7 PC, or find out if there is a way to simply move the libraries for ipod and ipad to the laptop without iTunes active on the PC.
Thanks so much for your help.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Application Support won't install normally.
