Error 1706 No Valid Source Dell Support Center
1706 No valid source could be found for product Dell Support Center Discussion in 'Software' started by 1ststeven, Feb 21, 2009. 1ststeven Private E-2 I have a Dell E510 with XP 2003. Intermittently, I get this annoying: 'Error 1706.No Valid source could be found for product Dell Support Center [Support Software]. The Windows Installer cannot continue.' This acts like it is trying to load, then gives this Error 1706 and starts all over again. I have to use the Task Manager to kill this, but would really like to never see Error 1706 again. 1ststeven, Feb 21, 2009 #1 1ststeven Private E-2 To add insult to injury 'Driver Detective' advertised in Major Geeks.com claimint to have Free download of all drivers to fix 1706 Error. After downloading this 100% Free fix, it ran a scan, claimed to have found 53 driver errors and then said to fix, I must Buy their software. Not exactly Free download or Fix like they advertise is it? There are several fake companies/names claiming the same Free fix. After clicking on all (different names) they all go to the Bogus Driver Detective. If they are going to Lie about a Free Fix and Free Driver download, how could I possibly believe that paying them for their software would actually work. You are right, their credibility is Gone. 1ststeven, Feb 22, 2009 #2 oma MajorGeek Found this Dell support site forum.

If not, you may want to contact Dell support directly by phone or post your question there. Or perhaps someone else here on MG maybe able to help you. oma, Feb 22, 2009 #3 plodr Major Geek Super Extraordinaire Driver Detective' advertised in Major Geeks.comClick to expand... Actually what you saw was a google ad, placed at the top of the MajorGeek site. Sites have no control over what ads are pushed to them by google (except to be sure that the ads are for things g-rated). If you looked a bit further, you would see that Driver Detective is not available for download through MajorGeek. This probably means that it isn't approved. Looking for a download (I don't recommend C-Net but they are huge and have most everything, including malware with some of their downloads) http://www.download.com/Driver-Detective/3000-18513_4-10175742.html It says Free to try; $29.95 to buy This is different from a trial. A trial will work for a limited time. Free to try usually menas, you can in

Thread Status: Not open for further replies. Page 1 of 4 1 2 3 4 Next > Advertisement capescafe Thread Starter Joined: Apr 22, 2010 Messages: 188 Hi, This is my first time on these forums. I started researching on how to speed up my pc because it takes forever for my computer to startup. So first I went to http://forums.majorgeeks.com/index.php?threads/error-1706-no-valid-source-could-be-found-for-product-dell-support-center.182941/ add/remove programs and uninstalled things I didn't think I needed. Then I found some software online that is supposed to help clean your windows registry. So here's what I installed just this morning: RegCure and Pareto Logic Privacy Controls. I ran scans in both and ran the auto fixes for both. I am using a Dell Inspiron 530S running Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, SP3. Now https://forums.techguy.org/threads/solved-problems-with-startup-now-getting-errors-help.918583/ here are the Error messages I'm getting when I go to shut down or restart my computer it says: Error: Access violation at address 00423B70 in module 'ComcastAntispy.exe'. Write of address 0000000D Then after my computer started up a Windows Installer window pops up and says Preparing to Install... then it asks for the Update Manager disk and then says Error 1706. No valid source could be found for product Update Manager. The Windows Installer cannot continue. So I have no idea what I did wrong. Maybe all I did was disable something in the startup list that should be enabled?? Please let me know what other information you will need in order to help me. Thanks so much. capescafe, Apr 22, 2010 #1 Sponsor flavallee Frank Trusted Advisor Joined: May 12, 2002 Messages: 69,962 We need to see what's loading during startup and running in the background and if any obvious infection is present.
