Hello everyone :-)

I have a VAIO model VGN-BX197XP and decided to install on it, dual-boot 9.04. Everything went smoothly. I updated everything through the update manager, so my system is now up-to-date.

What is strange is that when I try to install any of the programs through "add remove programs" I get the following error:

Application XXXXX XXXXXX cannot be installed on your computer type (i386)

Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type.

I don't understand why! I have installed numerous times on different computers, but have never seen that.

Anyone has any idea?
Thank you
Ifaistos

Problem solved, but had to reinstall everything.
Don't know what went wrong the first time.
