Solve : .NET Framework will not install!?

Answer»

Here's some of the problems I'm having after System Recovery. ( yup, another thread about a System Recovery gone bad. )

The computer is HP Pavilion a656x

The issue I've dubbed priority 1 at this point is to install the most recent .NET FRAMEWORK

When installing drivers and Catalyst Control CENTER for ATI Radeon 9200 a message popped up saying I need version 2.0 or later of .NET framework. Although, it went ahead and installed the Control Center and the drivers anyways... (ATI icon in my system tray)

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for .NET versions 2.0 through 3.5 (KB951847) x86
fails to install.

I believe I have version .NET 2.0 on this computer, so I don't know why ATI says I still need .NET 2.0 or greater.
(How do I check my .NET version?)

Ultimately, I'm trying to fix blurryness. The text on the screen is blurry only in certain areas of the screen. I'll explain it as best I can... Picture yourself reading text from left to right, divide the screen into 1 inch wide vertical columns, every few inches the text is blurry, then clear, then blurry, then clear, etc.

I'm just shooting in the dark now, reading countless threads about similar problems on many forums testing different solutions.

All my data is backed up so that's not an issue.

And please don't tell me to do a FRESH install of windows because guess what, HP NEVER GAVE ME RECOVERY DISCS!The .net frameworks are not cunulative...as the Service Packs are...they are independent of each other...

Here you will FIND a repair method for the installation of whichever ver. you need..
Although it's fairly dated it should work on any version...Quote

Several things:

-The latest version of .NET Framework is 4.0; however, this is largely irrelevant because:

-the versions are not cumulative. What this means is that if want to use a program developed for Version 1.1 of the framework, you need to have version 1.1 of the framework installed; that is, you can have 3.5 installed, but you won't be able to run the program designed for version 1.1. The versions are essentially separate products. The common thread of discussion on this seems to be that you should only install a version of the .NET framework when you get a program that requires that version; This is sensible, but the problem is that it's not always clear when you don't have the right version. In any case, the error message is telling you, basically, that ATI CCC requires .NET 3.5; the (DOWNLOAD also contains updates to 2.0, which may be causing the confusion). Now, the main problem here is that for some reason .NET 3.5 isn't installing.

If the installer for ATI Catalyst Control Center is trying to install the framework and failing, you might have better luck installing it yourself and then trying to install Catalyst Control Center:

That might help get it running.

This sounds more like a monitor issue; see if another monitor looks any better to check.

If it's an lcd, the clock or focus might be off. Try using any "auto" feature available on it and see if that helps (also, with an LCD, use 60hz).

If it's a CRT, sounds like it might be just starting to show signs of monitor aging. Sometimes monitors will start looking blurry in their higher resolutions. See if it looks any better (less blurry) at lower resolutions.

Either way, from the way I understand how they work, I don't think a video card could cause blurryness in the monitor.
