That is one of the hotfixes I tried from windows. It was one of 3 stand alones I tried to install manually. I'm tring to install it again but it keeps freezing up halfway through install.

can you boot into safe mode and try again...
one other thing...I couldn't see if SP1 was installed or did I miss it...

[2nd Raider]

Sp1 was already a part of the install package when I had to do a recover or at least that's what is says.



I'll try to do the safe mode boot/install now.

[2nd Raider]

No go in safe. "installer encountered an error 0x8007043c this service can not be started in safe mode" It did run a windows memory tool automaticly on reboot. No errors found. Prior to starting safe mode i rebooted and got an error again about unauthorized change to windows resulting in limited windows functionality code 0xc004d401.

I have a way to get around the installer not working in safe mode for xp...it may also work in vista and 7 but I don't have the time to check it out...
so lets try this...go here and get Microsoft...Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Standalone Installer)

if that doesn't help go here and get Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1...try installing it over your existing version...then the patch again...

[happyrock]

it may just be the installer thats corrupt

get Windows Installer 4.5 here and install it then try the installs again

[2nd Raider]

I wasn't able to get 4.5 to install.



I got sp2 to install.

[happyrock]

thats strange...are you having any other issue with your computer...if not just run it until next month and the on the second tuesday of next month any new hotfixes will try to install...lets see how that goes

[2nd Raider]

The biggest problem I have right now is not being able to install my ZUNE program. I think it has something to do with windows verification or something to that effect unless I somehow still have remnants of the original vista on my hard drive causing a conflict maybe??? Or malware ??

[happyrock]

the How to remove and then reinstall the Zune software is here...the have both fix it for me and the manual method

[2nd Raider]

Problem solved. Upgraded to win7. Thanks Rock.
