software installation

After sensing that there may be some problems with .NET Framework 3.5, I decided to reinstall it. I uninstalled it and downloaded the install file, but the install file wouldn't run. I then found out that .NET Framework 3.5 is either enabled or disabled using the "Turn Windows Features On Or...

Wondering if anybody can help me? I am using Windows XP Mode within Windows 7 Professional. I have been trying to de-install and then reinstall some software (ProTools 7.3, though this is probably not relevant to my question). When I go to reinstall the software, I get a message saying "A...

I want to upgrade my 32-bit win 7 to 64-bit win 7. I understand that since it is like an entirely different OS, you need to do a clean install. So does this mean that after buying windows 7 the first time, i need to dish out another $120 just to get a 64-bit version a year later?

I recently installed foobar2000 which brings up the Set Default Programs interface to handle file associations. I've never used it before, so it's likely that this problem was around for a while. At any rate, for *every* program, while I can select new file associations I can't deselect already...

First of all I don't know how to ONLY install 'Digital Image Standard 2006' and ignore all the rest on the discs (esp. Word 2002 when I already have Word 7). So I don't want an auto run, I guess. Do I need to insert Disc 1 - for the setting up first - because at this moment it isn't reading...

Hi all, I'm running into three issues which I'm guessing are related -- 1) Windows 7 seems to protect certain folder trees differently than others. In particular, the Program Files tree. If I try to copy a file to a folder in that tree or rename a file in one of the folders, I get a dialog...
