The related websites will surely supply ample information about the same and you can find answers to almost every question from the troubleshooting list of the websites. As for example, for Windows XP, all the troubleshooting questions and answers are provided on the Microsoft site. The same applies for Windows Vista as well. Alternatively, you may take help of a remote computer assistance company.
However, for any option that you choose, you will be guided with this set of instructions. This happens to most of the users:
An update instruction.
A compatible version of the program to be installed.
Abundant info about compatibility issues may also be available.

Way out 5:
