Guest jerrydt Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 I also have the same problem, and YES, I did recently do a partial re-install since I could not even boot to a C:prompt. What I'm additionally struggling with is that everytime I try to Load any program, including IE, I keep getting a (Non-Error Message in a Windows Box stating,) "Windows Installer Preparing to install..." and it keeps running for about a minute and goes away and another Starts. It will repeat FIVE times everytime I try to Load most any Pgm and then it Stops and finally Loads the Pgm. I do have that Yellow Files waiting Icon and there are 81 Files in it. Similar to other Posts I've been reading here. I saw your instructions to the other fellow and that is far beyond my time constraints or Attention Span.. Is there another fix? (btw i'm not even sure what is causing the Critical Udates etc., to generate that problem.) One final question, I have always heard that if your try to do a NEW-INSTALL, (after a crash of Only the Operating System) as opposed to trying, "what I did" in doing a RE-INSTALL of XP Home sp2, that the NEW-Install will DESTROY all your data files like Word, Excel, Lotus, PalmPilot Data and the associated Programs, not to mention it automatically Formats your HD before doing the NEW-Install. Thanks for any help and/or shortcuts you might be able to give me on this. I'm an ole CNA, but have been retired since 1999, so very rusty due mainly to Registries.

I'm an ole CNA, but have been retired since 1999, so very > rusty due mainly to Registries. First - your second question. A 'NEW' install is a 'clean' install. It is like never having anything on the hard disk drive because you delete the partition and create a new one, format it and install. A repair install allows you to fix corrupt files. A parallel install installs another copy side-by-side your original. There is nothing 'automatic' about any of them unless the installation media has been modified to be unattended. Try this: Get Dial-a-Fix: http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix Use its options to fix: - Windows Installer - Windows Update - All the Registration Center options. Turn off the "Empty System32\Catroot 2" Do NOT do "Flush SoftwareDistribution". Then click "GO" and wait until it is done... Reboot may be needed. - Download/Install Windows Update v3. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=91237 (You may need to install it using the command line switch "/wuforce" right after an additional reboot - immediately after logging in.) - Download/Install the 927891 patch. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7A81B0CD-A0B9-497E-8A89-404327772E5A - Reboot. - Visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ and scan for/install updates. - Come back and let us know how things went! -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I will try that sequence you referenced above and let you know how it goes in a few days. btw, I did try that Dial A Fix program, as I had read about it in the message bases here, but never went further than that. I will run it again after I d/l some of the other items you refered in your above list, just in case I screw up and can't get back online.. Thank you so much, Jerry
