Hi Eleanor, If you are using Avast latest version on this machine then I suggest you remove it completely and then try installing the K1000 program. I have seen instances where Avast has been the culprit in some of these situations. Also after uninstalling Avast, install this little program I have given you the link too below and run it. I t may come up the first time asking if you wish to run it in demo mode, just click on no and it should run. Its purpose is to clean out any temp folders and other areas of the computer that holds trash files. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1040060/CleanUp452.exe In relation to uninstalling avast, you'll have to do it in safe mode as it won't allow you to uninstall in the normal way. Here are the instructions. 1. After you turn on your computer wait about 3 or 4 seconds and then start pressing the "F8 key". Press it with about a second of a pause between presses. 2. Eventually a menu will come up, Press the down arrow till you come to "save mode only" and press the enter key. 3. If you are asked which operating system you want on the next screen, just press enter key again. 4. After a while it will go into windows in a safe mode operation and will ask you to confirm this by clicking on "yes". 5. Now while in here, go into "control panel/Add or remove programs" and go to Avast. 6. Begin the uninstallation in the normal way and it will be good to go. Paul. -----Original Message----- From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Eleanor Burke Sent: 07 October 2011 14:36 To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] K1000 Hi All I am trying to install this programme on a Samsung NC10 netbook with 2GB RAM. It is running Windows Home. I am unable to install. It gets to the final stage almost 99% and then it throws up an error, Windows Installer is unable to complete the installation error 17 22. Have used the CD on another PC so know the CD is not faulty. Been in touch with Sight & Sound who are the suppliers in the UK. Various updates were attempted, e.g. installed a more recent Windows installer, cleaned up the netbook that that it needed much cleaning up but went through the process with Malbites, anti-virus scan, disk clean etc. Looked on the web to see what this error was all about and have done everything it suggests. No luck. Now some of you will have noted, I talked in terms of a netbook and we all know netbooks do not have a CD-ROM drive. I used an external one. Sight and Sound Tech Support then copied over the CD to the hard drive and we tried again. Still the same error. Now Sight and Sound are asking the manufacturers of the product but I have not heard back and it is about 2 days since we discovered this error. Doubtless I will in time but I am wondering if any of you have knowledge of or experienced such an error and how you resolved it. Many thanks. Eleanor -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.
