| 668464 | 2008-05-12 05:36:00 | I've just bought a new laptop, a Asus M50SV-A1 with an OS upgrade to Vista Ultimate 32 bit and SP1 preinstalled, but I'm unable to install my usual security programs which I download. What's the problem? Thanks av4tarnz |

| 668466 | 2008-05-12 05:53:00 | I'm trying to install AVG 7.5 and AVG Anti Spy. All the computer does is briefly flash a small black window, looks like Comand Prompt, and nothing else. | av4tarnz (5829) | ||
| 668467 | 2008-05-12 06:16:00 | have you tried running the installer as administrator? | kersonan (13264) | ||
| 668468 | 2008-05-12 06:21:00 | Yes but that doesn't make any difference. I've also tried disabling UAC but that didn't help either. | av4tarnz (5829) | ||
| 668469 | 2008-05-12 06:35:00 | file could be corrupted. tried re-downloading them? AVG is now version 8 so might be worth it anyway. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 668470 | 2008-05-12 06:40:00 | Might require SP2 installed for the security programs. Are there other security/anti virus programs present or trying to be present (e.g. ads) - being a new laptop... | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 668471 | 2008-05-12 06:46:00 | AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5.0.47 is on this list: It dont like Vista.. support.microsoft.com |

| 668472 | 2008-05-12 07:07:00 | The laptop came with NIS preinstalled but I've removed that. I'm redownloading programs now just in case they have been corrupted. | av4tarnz (5829) | ||
| 668473 | 2008-05-12 07:15:00 | Sorted it now. I was transfering the programs from another computer by using a USB drive, I reformated it and that's done the trick. Should've done that before asking stupid questions, sorry people. Thanks av4tarnz |
