Running Windows XP, been having multiple problems, resulting in a complete reboot a few months ago...
Now suddenly I cannot install anything. I didn't change anything, update anything... as a matter of fact, there is an update that for some reason WON'T install...
Cannot get WindowsXP CD to even run so that I can reinstall Outlook.
I updated windows installer, and it said that all was updated, but nothing.
Y'alls expertice would be greatly appreciated.
