Trying to install pc suite of my new P800 on my PC with Win2000 SP3.

NO way! After starting the install wizard I only get an error message, saying "you have an install or an uninstall without completing: Reboot your pc first and then try again"
I DO not have anything pending, and even if a reboot i get the same message.?????
SonyEricsson Support gives no answer (Easter holyday i suppose) but there I am, stuck!
Any help please!

(I have downloaded the most recent pc suite yesterday but same problem)

(I have tried to install pc suite for the T68i, just to try and that goes well. Of course it doesn't recognize the p800, but it installs)

Thanks!

You have to clean the registry. I had the same problem under W2K SP2. Try deleting everything under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sony Ericsson" and also under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Sony Ericsson". If you have installed something else from SE, you should take care of what items you are deleting.

Lead,
Thank you for trying, but I don't have any of those keys in the register.
I haven't had any software of sonyericsson installed, never.
This is my first SE phone and after 6 perfect Nokias, I begin thinking I should have stayed with them............

Rob

Other people: Thanks for letting me know that you don't have problems, even if that doesn't help me further.

The problem is as I explained in the first post of this thread, that I cannot install de pc suite of the p800 on my pc.
I have closed all running progs. and checked in Ctrl/Alt/Sup - Task administrator.
I have even tried to reboot in secure mode and then install.

Always same error: " You have another install or unistall pending; reboot to finish and retry"

Now I have installed the cradle first (new try) and
I have Outlook 2002 installed too.
NO way. Just doesn't want to install.

I have send mail to SE but nothing for now.
Will get back to shop tuesday to complain, but?

Thanks for trying to help me!

In Taskman:
Tasks running = 0
Processes running that can't be stopped:

Inactive System Process
System
SMSS.EXE
CSRSS.EXE
WINLOGON.EXE
SERVICES.EXE
LSASS.EXE
svchost.exe
svchost.exe (2 times)
spoolsv.exe
defwatch.exe
rtvscan.exe
NPROTECT.EXE
regsvc.exe
mstask.exe
explorer.exe
slserv.exe
NOPDB.exe
WinMgmt.exe
MsPMSPSv.exe
svchost.exe
MSGSYS.EXE
taskmgr.exe
khooker.exe
vptray.exe
qttask.exe
internat.exe

Suppose NPROTECT is my Norton Antivirus. I have disabled it, but i cannot exit it totally.

2) Miscrosoft says RegClean no longer available.
However, I have RegHealer and have run that to clean register.

Still same problem.
Any more ideas?
Thanks for your trouble!

You have said you've had Nokia's before, if you've had a 7650 its PC Suite software will interfere and stop your install as both Nokia & SE use epocs Mrouter software...
