Rollback feature for Windows XP

[wandskm]

Hello,
what's up with this rollback feature? I can't download any games. How can I fix this? thanks for your help!

 

[PhilFrisbie]

Please explain your question: What does system restore have to do with downloading games?

 

[wandskm]

don't know. I tried to download a game and it came back and said that it would not install because of the rollback feature. can you help me?

 

[PhilFrisbie]

What was the game, and what is the exact error message? Try again if you need to.

 

[wandskm]

it was a downloadable game on Pogo and it said that it could not be installed becaue of the rollback feature.

 

[PhilFrisbie]

See my previous request. Details, please? If you insist on being vague you will only get a vague answer, if any at all!

 

[wandskm]

well, actually, I am not being vague. I tried to download a game on Pogo (I believe it was 13th Skull) and it started to load and then it stopped and the dialog box said it could not be installed because of the rollback feature. Please don't be nasty because that's all the information I have to give. I need help with this and thought you could help. Can you help?

 

[PhilFrisbie]

Yes, I am trying to help! Sometimes things do not come across well in plain ext

OK, go back to Pogo, download a game again, and if you get the error please write down the exact message. The reason I have asked for that is the wording of the error message is VERY important because many Windows errors are similar. At this point the problem could be with Windows, or your browser, or Java, or even something I have not yet thought of!

I get the same thing in Google Chrome, Foxfire, Internet explorer...trying to download Game on Ingredigames After it starts to download the game, it stops and the box pops up w/the error ... It states:

Game Setup
Installation Aborted

Installation aborted. All installed components were removed via the rollback feature.

It means the installer didn't like something in your system and aborted the install, deleting/restoring everything it changed so you aren't left with a partially installed program and a lot of junk on your drive.

Send them an email thanking them for such a friendly feature and ask what the system requirements are for that game.

we actually had a game installed and, somehow it got uninstalled or deleted. when we tried to reinstall we got that message. So far, no one has been able to help us and I know the game runs just fine on our system (if we could only get it reinstalled)!
