    Windows installer is active and grayed out. Same issue as below but active.


    "Windows Installer stuck on manual, can't install programs

    I can't install programs on my computer. One of the solutions I found was to change Windows Installer from manual to automatic. But when I double-click installer and click on properties, the box to change from manual to auto is grayed out and I can't change it. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time!" (Previous Post)



    I recently transferred apps and data to new DEll computer with Laplink PCMover. Now both computers have this issue. When click on an app like Windows media Player I get a popup with Windows installing. I let it stay for a long time and then I get another popup saying installer server not responding. On my new computer when I click cancel on the not responding popup I can use the media player, however, on my old computer it closes down the app.

    I am logged in as administrator.

    I have Windows 10


    Thanks

    :)

  2. Windows Vista Activation

    I have 4 sytems in my home running vista(1 ult.-3 prem).The ultimate & 1 premium took SP1
    wthout a hitch.1 premium required re-activation?,The other premium did not list SP1 in windows up-date,So i manually installed it without any re-activation required.
    Also have to add that SP1 has increased performance in every comp.The ultimate machine actually got a 1,100 point increase in 3d 06 without any other changes at all.
