Can't install software - strange error message
My wife's Windows 8.1 machine cannot install any software.
The latest example is a PaintShopPro disk that we just brought home from the store, but there are a couple of other things that she's downloaded, then tried to run the installer she downloaded. Whichever program she tries to load, she gets a spinner that stays there for 15 minutes or so! Finally it displays an error box. I just tried installing PSP from the DVD, and the title of the box points to the installation program: "D:\setup.exe" (D is the optical drive) The first line inside the box again says D:\setup.exe Then it says: The service cannot accept control messages at this time. And there's an OK button. That's the entire message. WTF??? What service? What am I supposed to do about it? -- Tim Slattery tim at risingdove dot com |
