Windows vista is not compatible with itunes64bit install

I have downloaded the itunes 64bit setup and it does not work with my windows vista pc. I just bought a new pc and haveing compatibility problems with the vista and itunes and quicktime. does anyone know how to fix this?

This 'should' be a link to a picture that is being talked about. It's happening on my copy of 64 bit vista as well, using the most up to date installer for 8.1.1 itunes. Incase this link doesn't workin on these forums (my 1st post) here is what it says word for word.
The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance.
Since I'm pretty sure Vista doesn't default to safe mode EVERY time you log in, I'd say my problem is of the later type. Any assistance would be nice, but if nobody replys shortly I do plan on calling support and bugging them for as many hours as it may take to get the problem fixed.
Edit: I just realized that we are both running gateways. Though he/she said gateway said it was an apple problem. Anyways, just thought I'd throw that note out there.

Windows 8.1 not compatible with Scanner of HP LaseJet M1120 MFP

I replaced my laptop and on the new laptop Windows 8.1 is installed.
I have the CD to install te software for HP LaseJet M1120 MFP, but it is not compatible with W8.1.
Then, I switched-on the multifunction printer and I plugged the cable into the USB port of the laptop.
The laptop recognized the printer and installed it, but it didn't recognize the scanner.
I tryed to perform the download of the necessary software directly on the HP site, I also installed HO doctor software, but I was not able to solve the issue.
Can you please help me to solve the issue?
Thanks a lot for your support.

Please review windows 8 is not compatible with 7gen nano it causes a WDF violation.

I have 7th gen ipod nano, i am running windows 8 and when I connect the ipod and launch itunes, a blue screen pops up and says WDF violation and then my computer reboot
is there solution to resolve this and how?
If Apple actually reivews this they should know that i am not the only one having this problem!!!!!!!! check the Microsoft Formum
this only happens with latest ipod's, Iphone 4s connects and works just fine.

I found the solution!!! Even ended up educating the tech -- who didn't have a clue.
I have a brand new 7th gen iPod Nano, a brand new Windows 8 laptop, and iTunes 11. Everything was working all fine and dandy until I unchecked "Enable Disc Usage in iTunes on my iPod. Then all **** broke loose. I got the blue screen of death with the WDF_violation and I couldn't even plug my Nano in without it crashing my computer, let alone access iTunes to re-enable Disc Usage. Because the crashes happened immediately after I did that I just KNEW it had something to do with that. Trouble is, I couldn't fix it.... or so I thought.
I was on the phone with the tech, who was telling me it was a driver issue ( impossible because both the laptop and iPod are brand new) and I was looking around in iTunes while she did.
HERE IS YOUR SOLUTION: Edit --> Preferences --> Devices. Check Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Then plug in your iPod, re-enable the Disc Usage, and voile!!!!!! Problem solved.

Windows Live Messenger not compatible with 8310 ?

Hi there !
I just tried to download the Windows Live Messenger from my 8310 browser (http://www.blackberry.com/devicesoftware/entry.do?code=wlm) and I get the following message:"Notice. Sorry your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Windows Live Messenger".
Is this a 8310 limitation ? or maybe a carrier restriction ?
My carrier is Telcel (Mexico).

Lightroom6 instalation rejects installation on Windows 7 with remark that windows vista is not supported

I tried to install Lightroom 6 on my Windows 7 System
The installer jejects the Installation with the remark that Windows Vista is not supported by this product
Is that Problem known? Is any solution available?

Hi Michael,
You can follow the article: How to troubleshoot issues that may prevent a program from being installed correctly on a Windows Vista-based computer and check whether the installer is running in Compatible Mode or not.
If the check box for Compatibility Mode is checked and simply UnCheck it and click Apply.
Run the installer and again and check if it still gives you any error message.
Let us know if it works or not.
Thanks,
Ratandeep Arora

Tecra S2: BIOS 1.3 is not compatible with Windows Vista

i just bought Windows Vist Ultimate and i tried to install it on my tecra S3 notebook and it said that i had to upgrade my bios. so i did upgrade to latest version found on the toshiba website (v1.3) but i got the same message please provide a bios upgrade which is vista compatible for my notebook or provide where i can find thge update.

Hi
The Toshiba driver site says the BIOS 1.3 for Tecra S2 was released on 19/06/2006
It seems its not a final Vista release and therefore its not compatible with Vista.
Unfortunately, everything looks like you have to wait with the Vista installation till the new BIOS version is released.

You run Windows in Parallels or Fusion. Then in Windows you install the program.

Captivate is not compatible with Windows Vista RTM

I can confirm that Captivate 2 is not compatible with Windows
Vista (RTM Final MSDN). I have been testing it on several systems
with various versions of Vista. It had partial success with RC2,
but with RTM it crashes quite frequently (when vista is drawing new
windows). I can't tell however if captivate is directly responsible
or if it is perhaps an incompatible version of Flash (current using
latest version 9 beta) that is to blame. However, since Vista is at
RTM then I would say that it is now the responsibility of Adobe to
fix the compatibility issues with a new update. Technically vista
is not due to domestic market until january 07, however businesses
will be able to purchase vista in only two weeks, and as Captivate
is generally used for business/training use i would certainly think
that it should be of high importance that these issues are
resolved.
Can anyone else comment on their experiences with Captivate
and Vista?

Hi cptv8
I appreciate your taking the time to report back your
findings about Vista. Perhaps it will be helpful to those that are
early adopters.
You stated:

You have a valid point. However, you are making it in the
wrong venue. How? Well, Adobe doesn't normally make it a habit of
visiting the peer-to-peer support forums. This means users
supporting users. If you are concerned that Adobe is aware of this
issue, you should really consider using a different channel. The
Wish Form. And you can easily get there by simply
clicking
here.
Now I don't claim to be a guru of anything in particular, but
it seems to me that businesses are very slow to adopt things. They
tend to take a very pragmatic and slow approach. Many are just now
making the leap to XP! So I'm guessing that Vista will be slow to
gain ground. I'm also confident that the Captivate team is well
aware of the Vista issues and will be addressing them as best they
can.
Sincerely... Rick

Tecra M5 BIOS not compatible with Windows Vista

Hi, I ran the Vista Upgrade Advisor from Microsoft and it reported that the BIOS on my Tecra M5 was not compatible with Vista and to contact Toshiba. I am currently running version 1.7 - the latest available I think. Is Toshiba going to release a version that will be Vista compatible, or a fix so that I can run Vista on my M5?
I forgot to mention that the machine is a UK M5 (PTM51E)
Many thanks,
David

David,
That's not the case. Whatever the results of the software advisor that you have run, you can install VISTA ok on your Tecra M5 PTM51E portable but obviously subject to you having purchased the license (full version or upgrade) from a local supplier, however, you will have to carry out a new (clean) installation of VISTA which means you would have to wipe your hard disk drive in the process. Obviously, making sure that you backup all of your data first to another system (or to external media) and be aware of the software that may/may not run correctly under VISTA before starting the process.
There's a new M5 BIOS released for your M5 which would then upgrade your existing 1.7 BIOS to the latest version.
The standard 512mb Tecra M5's run VISTA very well. No Toshiba software is available, however, maybe this will be released over time so you can adjust power settings and utilities as you can now under XPP.
After installing and registering/activating VISTA you will be prompted to install various updates (including an updated graphics driver and some patches.) Take these options and then your portable should work better. That said, even the standard VISTA installation works fine (AERO support appears to be improved on the new version plus it looks slightly more optimised and also runs a little quicker.)
If you are familiar with your portable, IT aware, and unsure of wiping your existing system totally, then you could also purchase a additional internal Toshiba SATA HDD kit for the Tecra M5 in order to try VISTA in the short time. Another internal 80gb/100gb HDD would give you the capability to try VISTA without losing all or your XP software and software/networking configurations, enabling you to move back to XPP should you have any (none-Microsoft) software or antivirus software issues stopping you from working after your installation of VISTA. I appreciate that there are costs associated but this would allow you to switch between XP and VISTA more easily (than wiping your current system, installing VISTA and then going back to XPP should any problems occur, not to mention the time savings that this could introduce !)
With VISTA, just take >>GREAT CARE<< with your software. Many (none- Microsoft) software applications have some issue(s) with VISTA because it is new. So, this may mean that you may have to purchase a software update in order to ensure that you have 100% compatibility with your favourite applications (or have to replace your existing software versions entirely with new ones.)
