View 14 RepliesA few days ago when coming onto the desktop I would not be able to use RUN or get into the Control Panel. This does not happen all of the time, and to temporary fix the problem, I need to at least go with one, or more, reboots are needed. I checked in the Event Viewer and seen the error. I right-clicked and went to its properties. It states: "The SAVRTPEL service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified." I clicked on the for more information link and below is what it has to say. How to correct this situation as clearly as you can state. COPY/FROM HELP & SUPPORT LINK
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've done a lot of searching around, and have found that my problem has occured rarely, but never have I been able to find an answer.As you are well aware, several older computers have compatibility issues with SP2. Mine is one of them. However, it has SP2 installed.The solution is obviously to remove SP2. However, if I go through the normal means of doing this (Add/Remove Program under the Control Panel, or using the run command listed in Microsoft's website), I get this strange error:"Bosnian (Latin, Bosnia and Herzegovina) is selected as the language for standards and forms, or for non-Unicode programs. This language is not supported prior to Windows XP Service Pack 2. Please see readmesp.htm to select a different language."

I use Windows XP Media Edition and yesterday the Add/Remove Programs function on my control panel quit working. The message comes up please wait while the list is being populated and then nothing else happens. The longest I waited was 45 minutes while I went off and did something else. The list never appeared. All of the other functions in the control panel seem to be working.Everything seems to have slowed down on my computer.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have tried previously to uninstall my HP Officejet G85 printer from HP Pavilion a1130n running XP Media. There is no Change/Remove button in Add/Remove Programs but the program is there, 150 MB, and the file suggested on the HP website for uninstalling older printers from XP produces a message that it's "unsupported" can't remember exact verbiage, been a while since last tried.

I'm up to "hp officejet g series - 3."
