Problems installing MS products

[TheBirdMan]

First I would make a scandisk - just in case.

Then try to install the product you want.

If that fails, then I would try to reinstall og the XP-installation - I prefer a reinstall rather than a repair - but if that is not possible in any way, take the repair.

Then try again.

If that is not working either, then......... well, I am fixing problems like that (for money).... but I live in Denmark.

I have tried to install it on two different HD's, both have had a scandisk short time ago (That means less than 2 weeks)...

Sure, an complete reinstall would probably fix that problem, but would also require me to reinstall tons of other apps, which I'd rather avoid at the time being


From time to time, I also fix such problems (or at least tries to)... but that's the hard way (Which means: No reformat if possible)... and I do it for free... but only for friends, or friends of family...


Forresten, jeg er også Dansker

Dang-it - I know you are a dane too - and I would have remembered that, had I just used my small grey cells a little more......


Men:

Hvis registry er (rimeligt) intakt, så kan man godt geninstallere Windows (også XP) uden at skulle geninstallere alle andre programmer. Det virker også i den virkelige verden (også selvom XP er et M$-produkt).

Har ikke prøvet det før, men lader lige den mulighed stå åbent for en tid. Hvis jeg ikke kan få det installeret på en anden måde, så prøver jeg det...

Men hvordan virker det? Skal man bare overskrive sin tidligere WinXP installation, uden formatering?

[TheBirdMan]

Ja.

I was talking about the package managers.

Ok, takker for hjælpen, så må jeg se hvad det bliver til

Hi. No


Are you using Windows 2000/XP and cant get older stuff to work load. Go to Start-->Run--> Cut n Paste this line

regsvr32 %systemroot%\apppatch\slayerui.dll

to activate windows compatability layers. Then right click on the orignal icon (not the Shortcut) and go to properties on the far right is what you want.

Have fun.

I wouldn't call 2003 programs/games "old"

[faded glory]

no but it works better at times to run in 98 comp. mode. Trust me.

Btw:

Hvad får man ud af at gøre på den måde? Er det ikke mest registry, som bestemmer om hvor godt computeren nu kører? Og hvis en sådan geninstallation ikke gør nogen forskel på registry, hvad får man så ud af det?

I run Battlefield 42 in 98 comp. mode and get about 20 fps i normally wouldnt get had i not. Plus I dont get as many memory leak crashes.

Does this make installations run better also?
