RE: Installer 3.1 and Genuine Advantage Validation tool error 0x80
Hi Mike,
Download CCleaner and Dial-ª-fix
Ccleaner -
http://www.ccleaner.com
Note, uncheck Yahoos toolbar during instªll.
Do the scans with all the check marks ºn.
Run the above remover in safe mode then Ccleaner on all 3
settings(windows,apps & issues) and clear anything found reboot and see if it
still exists.
NOTE - The first time you run CCleaner's Issues scanner you'll have to keep
running it back-to-back until it finds nothing. One scenario is a registry
key may only be a reference pointing to a completely different location in
the registry and when it's removed then that reference link is also noticed
as being invalid on a subsequent scan. It's generally a good idea to keep
running the Issues scan until nothing is listed.
There is also a third-party fix which has had good results for a number of
folks here:
Dial-ª--Fix
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix
Run this program with all the functions activated in safe mode. --it may
look as if the scan has frozen. DAF is actually doing lots of shoveling and
shuffling, so don't interrupt it.
Please read the page and Scroll down about 2/3 of the way to Download
Dial-ª-fix
Exit Safe Mode (Reboot)
Try the updates n0w
I hope this post is helpful.
Let us know how it works ºut.
