  • Bloody computer

    Why must it give me so much crap? What have I done to deserve it?

    It began earlier today, when I tried to load Nero. The program whinged about the executable having been altered, and claimed that this might have been due to a virus. It suggested a reinstall, so I uninstalled Nero.

    When I tried to reinstall it, it came up with the following message:

    Error: MSVCRT.DLL is not compatible with Win32s

    followed by another box, containing:

    The application failed to initialise properly (0xc0000142), Click on OK to terminate the application.

    And it continues to do it. It does the exact same thing when I try to install Norton Antivirus 2003. I'm using Windows 2000 Professional on a P166: Nero ran perfectly fine on this system before today, although I was running Windows Me when I installed it.

    What's going on?

    Mine keeps freezing inexplicably. Usually at the most inopportune moments. Computers suck

          You were running Windows Me when you install Nero and want to run it under W2K? Nah, Windows doesn't work that way.

            Did you try installing a version that is specifically compatible with win2k?
