[QUOTE]Originally posted by Axeman 3D: [QB] Sounds like the installer is missing or buggered. First off, I assume you've tried these fixes... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315353 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315346 and tried reregistering the service by doing this... 1) Boot up in safe mode (pressing F8 repeatedly while it boots) 2) Then in Run Command type [b]msiexec /regserver[/b] 3) restart in Normal Mode Your next best bet is to find what broke the damn thing. Usually it's some spyware or malware interference, or occasionally a virus. Run you antivirus and also get Malwarebytes Antimalware or Lavasoft Ad-aware and run scans to clear out the more obvious stuff. Once done, retry the original fixes. Dont try any other spyware removers from the interweb, they're usually malware themselves and will hold your PC hostage for money with hundreds of fake alerts. Another option is to use your Windows disk as a repair disk. If you (or someone you know) has a genuine WinXP disk you can boot from the disk and choose to repair your windows install, and it will attempt to put all the vital files back into place. One final thing you might try is to get a hold of a program called ERD Commander. It creates a 'live disk', a CD you put into your PC and boot from that takes the place of your hard disk, so you dont even need a hard drive in your PC to get going. It allows you access to the C drive without it running, which is great for fixing issues with Windows and permissions problems since you're not actually running windows. It has tools for reseting passwords, saving data and for comparing and repairing corrupt windows files. It's a life saver. [/QB][/QUOTE]
