Well, I installed Microsoft Office, but whenever I try to run the computer in normal mode, it freezes. So, I have to try and uninstall it in safe mode but it says you can't. So, I need help.
Whenever I turn on my computer, I log on, and it runs fine for about 10 seconds.
But whenever I hover my mouse over the taskbar, I have that hourglass thing, and I can't click anything. Thats all I can say really.
See if your processor usage is fine ... if its upto 100 % .. see which process is taking the processor ... if its explorer.exe ... end process and then start a new task "explorer"...
To make Windows Installer work under safe mode, you need to create a registry entry for every type of safe mode you are logged in to.
1.Safe Mode.
Type this in a command prompt:
REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\MSIServer" /VE /T REG_SZ /F /D "Service"
and then “net start msiserver”
This will start the Windows Installer Service in safe mode.
2.Safe Mode with Networking
REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Network\MSIServer" /VE /T REG_SZ /F /D "Service"
and followed by “net start msiserver “
This will start the Windows Installer Service in safe mode with Networking.
