I was trying to remove windows messenger by going to control panel -> add/remove programs -> add/remove windows components I misread the directions for this windows XP setup box and made it so that only windows messenger had a checkmark because I thought this meant that only windows messenger would be modified removed unfortunately, this just meant windows messenger stayed the same and all the other components i had installed were removed. I know they are still on my computer since for accessories/games I can go to start -> run and type in something like "winmine" and minesweeper will open up, however if I go to the start menu and look in games it is empty

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=4] Have another good one... I'm trying to learn NetMeeting just for the hell of it. Ran across an interesting problem (NOTE: system description below) Went to add windows components in Win XP Pro... Selected those to be added, XP started looking for install files, but could not locate specific application and dll files. WinExplorer displays the correct file in the correct folder, but install program cannot seem to locate same. Tried to install from HDD as well as O/S CD. I have installed XP on 100+ computers and never seen this Where in hell is NetMeeting Can't find it in XP, and don't get much of any answer from Help and Support

I tried to add the "peer-to-peer" networking option in the "Add/Remove Windows Components" option of the "add or remove programs" program in the control panel, but it won't let me; first of all, when I scroll down to the "Networking" option under the add/remove windows components, it is checked and yet greyed out.So I click on "details" where it lists the components available to install, and check "on" the peer-to-peer option, but when it goes to install it, it returns with an error of "an extended error has occurred". Gosh, so descriptive.

In Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs in the Add/Remove Windows Components section I have a problem. When I click on Add/Remove Windows Components, instead of the box coming up which lists all your Windows components, mine goes immediately to the install dialog as if I had already clicked through. It runs as if installing new components - finishes in a few sections and thats it. I searched online for a similar problem and fix but didnt find anything. I wondering if anyone had this or knows a way to fix it so the normal Windows Components Dialog Box pops up when It should

A while back I removed the calculator and paint programs from my computer and I've been trying to figure out how to restore them for some time now. I have found out that I need to go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components, but when I go to add them again, I get a prompt asking for my Windows XP disc. The problem is, when I purchased this computer, it didnt come with the install disc, Windows XP was already pre-installed. is there any way to Add the Windows components without the original install disc

When trying to remove Windows Messenger, I made a mess of the Add/Remove Windows Components section of Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel. Instructions are very confusing, as Windows tells you in order to add/remove the various components, either check or uncheck the box. Not knowing if I should check or uncheck, I tried both, and in the process removed numerous if not all the components.
I managed to get Internet Explorer and Outlook Express back. I honestly do not remember how I did this as I was in a panic state. Meanwhile, I lost MSPaint. And, I'm worried about the other components, like Indexing Service, Networking Services, etc. in order to reinstall components that may or may not be missing, do I simply CHECK the boxes, Accessories and Utilities is NOT checked. I'm assuming that's the reason for why MSPAINT disappeared.

I am completely unable to generate ANY interest in this, and am baffled as to why, so maybe I can get some help here. how to actually get XP to recognize the checkboxes. As far as I can tell, this is display only(?). I'm trying to get it to work and suspect it may have something to do with the modes line in each INF

I uninstaled some windows components and it turns out that I need them and have not been able to reinstall them. I have been trying to reinstall the advanced features in my sounds and audio devices. Since I removed that feature when I play a DVD no my computer the sound will not get very loud. I am having no problem with other videos just DVD's. But I have also tried reinstalling games and other features and they will not install either.
When trying to install I use the Windows Installation CD and the installation seems to go fine. I don't get any error message, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I also tried the Add/Remove Programs feature in the control panel and got the same results.

When I try to add Fax Services as an XP Home SP 2 windows component in the add/remove control panel, I get a prompt for file fxsapi.dll. I can see the file in :WindowsService Pack Filesi386 but this setup routine says it can't find it even when I point it to it. After I hit retry many times I try the other solution it asks for- which is to insert the windows xp home service pack 2 CD-ROM. I do that and it says it can't find the file on the CD either. I've also tried removing MSN and it says it can't find certain files to remove MSN either. What is corrupted? Service Pack 2? I have 3 other XP computers and never had this problem before

Last night I was trying to remove some unneeded Windows components that I thought were slowing my system down. I went into "Add/Delete Programs", and then "Add/Remove Windows components". I mis-interpretedd the prompts and ended up deleting everything except what I wanted to. When I tried to add the functions back it asks for my Windows CD. It's been a long time since I installed windows and I find that I can't locate the CD. Any idea how I might be able to restore my system. At the moment I no longer have a working internet connection

what file runs when you click on Add/Remove Windows Components in Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel Mines malfunctioning and Id like to try and replace it, but I can't find any info on where to look for it. When I click on it now, instead of getting a box with choices for Windows, it goes immediately to the action of installing, without going through the choosing part at all

I have been trying to make some family clips and found ou that windows XP brings Movie Maker. I have Windows XP Home eddition. I tried to look in the Accesories/Entertaiment/ folder for the Movie Maker, but it's not there. I went to add/remove windows components, but there is no option to add movie maker. I thought I did not have the software so I went to the xp windows microsoft downloads and look for the movie maker. I tried to down load the package that brings this software but it run and applation to check if I required the download, but it was already installed. So it looks like that it's already installed, but I don't know how to acces it.

All of the accessories and utilities were somehow deleted from me computer, but when I go into the add/remove windows components wizard, it won't let me install them. It says "Please insert the Compact Disc labeled 'Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 CD' into your CD-ROM drive (D and then click OK".

"The application failed to initialize properly (0x80000003). Click on OK to terminate the application." Since I installed Visual Studio 2005, I've been getting this error when trying to run Soulseek, which has been working fine before. After OK, the same message comes up again, and after OK again, it closes and Soulseek doesn't run.The same thing happens trying to run Media Player Classic, and the HijackThis installer.Some googling suggested that other people had similar problems with other programs that might be .NET Framework related. I tried reinstalling Framework 2.0, installing 3.0, without any luck. Finally, I uninstalled Visual Studio and everything I could identify as installed with it, but still nothing.

Win xp media center edition HP 3700 amd athlon computer Newbie here..At the end of start up (when loading) on my computer I get a box in the middle of my screen saying DISCover (on top) then underneath, it says, Socket failed to initialize. I can click OK and it will go away or I can X out of it and it will go away, however I do not feel that this should be happening. Can anyone help.. I will try to give more info as we go. I believe DISCover has something to do with the media edition XP I have?

I would appreciate any useful information. Making sly remarks is childish.I to have received the message: "USERINIT.exe Application failed to initialize" after removing software that was previously install and may have been causing the computer to not get a TCP/IP number. Now I can not get to the desktop, It hangs.
I agree sometimes reloading a cleaned of hard drive may be the only way to resolve a problem. However, first see if there are any quick fixes that may save some time.
If all you can say is start over again from scratch then you are wasting your time and everyone else's that reads for some answers.

i keep my computer running all the time. At irregular intervals approximately every 2-3 days the computer will partially freeze. I say partially, because programs already loaded continue to work, but any attempt to run any new application produces the message "failed to initialize". So for example I can still use or save an Excel worksheet that was already open but if Excel were not open and I try to open it I would get the "failed to initialize" message. Outwardly the computer appears fine - it is only when I go to use it or realise I haven't had an email in a long while that I suspect it has "gone again". Re-starting the computer without pulling the plug takes 30 minutes, but does eventually work after several non-responsive programs are terminated (not the same ones each time). All very frustrating....

I have Windows XP. I update my Virus Subscription in January every year and this year Norton said they no longer support the one I was using. I updated to the latest version and it included Pop up blocking and a bunch of other stuff. When it ran the scan it came up with a bunch of things and I diligently followed all the instructions to take care of them. (I don't know if this has ANYTHING to do with my problem but from some of the other posts I thought it might.) To make a long story short, I tried to update to Windows Media Player 10 to interface an MP3 player my daughter wanted to use. When I did this I got the following message. 'The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150004). Click on OK to terminate application.' After 2 days of trying to figure out what is causing this, I reverted back to the previous version I had and was grateful I got it back. Now, a few months later, I am working on something for my job and I go to install the software I need and the same message appears! So, I need some help. I am somewhat tech savvy but I haven't read code since learning Fortran in college 20 years ago!
