Bit of an odd one, that has totally thrown me. When I put some (not all, it's about 50/50 of good to bad) DVDs (Movies, all data DVDs seem fine so far) in my machine, whatever software I try to view the disk with will freeze, this could be a viewer such as PowerDVD or Explorer itself. To begin with I just put it down to duff disks (I go to Thailand alot and pick up cheap DVDs there) but I now have discovered the same also sometimes happens with retail bought DVD from here in the UK.
So something is wrong with Windows installer. Any time I try to install something, I get the error message: "Error 1719. The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. You may be running in safe mode or Windows Installer may not be correctly installed. " I've tried all of the suggestions on the Microsoft support website, but either I'm not smart enough to figure out what they mean

Moving on to the problem side of things, a friend of mine, suggested a program to me, to clean up my computer a little bit as, well.. it started to slow up on me this morning, and so, i did, i cleaned it up with this software, and great, the PC was running a hell of a lot faster, mind my language, i know.

I try to install Word 2000 on my new Dell with Windows Home XP, I get a message that "Windows Installer service could not be accessed. You may be running in safe mode or Windows Installer may not be correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assitance." I know I'm not running in safe mode, and microsoft responded with an email telling me to re-register the windows installer "at my own risk"

I wanted to see what date I had last accessed one of my documents so I right-clicked its icon, chose Properites and discovered the date "August 29, 2005." That would have been ok but I didn't remember even looking at that doc for over a year. It got really weird (for me at least) when I checked other documents' Properties and *every* one of them had the date "August 29, 2005" down as the date last accessed! No - I didn't look at everything on my machine on that day! I then experimented by clicking out/back in to Properties and saw that the correct access date (in this case, today) was now listed
I am running Windows XP sp2 (Dell Dimension 5150).I am getting an error message:"The windows installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running in windows safe mode, or if the windows installer service is not correctly installed."
I keep getting the following error whenever i open an internet browser opera or ie and when i open up my computer sometimes it happens out of nowhere with message application error and click on ok to terminate or click on cancel to debug the program.
It is still functioning fine. BUT when I click on Computer from the Start Menu, All my drives and CD roms are listed EXCEPT DRIVE-C!

I try to install something using windows installer, I get the "preparing to install" screen and then it says that windows installer couldn't be accessed. I'm not running in safe mode, and I didn't do anything to change this. I looked online and it said to go into the registry and check the msiexec file to make sure its in the system folder, and it is. I've tried re installing and even though it says it successfully reinstalled, it still wont work.
We get the server cannot be found message. If we now reboot, everything is up and running again (until the next time). This happens almost every day. Worked with the Verizon On Line techs and they found that my modem and associated equipment is in fine working order, and speculated that the problem is probably in my computer. I tried several possible fixes from some local experts (cleaning out the Explorer cache, running Spy-Bot, Ad-Aware, Norton anti-virus, Microsoft Anti-Spyware, etc.) to no avail.
I have tried to install adobe reader 9 but as i get to the end of the process i get the following message The windows installer could not be accessed.this can occure if you are running windows in safe mode or if windows installer is not correctly installed.
I had noticed that I could copy but not paste. For example, I could right click an icon on the Desktop and copy it, but using Ctrl-V or right-clicking on the Desktop to Paste did not work. In fact, the option is not even highlighted in the shortcut menu. Even to drag and drop an item from one folder to another is not possible. However, I can copy and paste text, like copying and pasting a sentence is MS Word. I also found out that I cannot install any programs on this same computer. This is the exact error message I get when trying to install Ad-Aware:
"The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance. "
Is it possible to track/trace down who accessed an insecure wi-fi connection using their computer or laptop? Say the MAC address of the wireless adaptor is spoofed, and the "Computer name" is not identifiable, is there any other way of tracking down someone who used an insecure wi-fi connection?
"C or file. You may not have appropriate permissions."Also,"The windows installer service could not be accessed"It is a customer's PC running XP Media Center.PC came to me with initial problem of blank desktop. Explorer.exe was NOT running and could not be started from Start > Run in Task Manager. However, it WAS possible to go through Browse and open files and existing programs that way.Managed to fix that by uninstalling various Google products like Desktop, Updater and Toolbar. Somehow, this enabled all programs I tried to run. The customer only had IE 8 on machine. Could open a Web Page in Word which made me suspicious why IE could not establish connection even after resetting etc etc. Found safari and managed to get on Web fine. Removed Google products as mentioned and all seemed fine.As IE still playing up decided to re-install it. All fine except that "checking your computer for malicious software" had red x next to it. Hmm, I thought.IE also keeps sending me on strange redirects (no other browser does) so suspected Malware.
Problems have been.#1.would only start in safe mode.#2.if try to start normal hangs up on logo screen.#3.tried to do chkdsk and restarted...after restart wouldnt even go in safe mode(hung up at system32/drivers/agp4440.sys)(also some other files were missing at other times).#4.Could not not access cd rom to burn files(tried to backup drivers and could only send to floppy,which worked ).#5. I erased 1 harddrive with system suite6 professional(only one because windows told me the 2nd one was not formatted)and now i am trying to install windows xp and at first had a hang up at setup on an ntfs file,retried and got "corrupted file sym_hi.sys message".found out online it could be do to bios settings or actual physical sdram memory problems,so i fiddled with bios setttings and got windows to install and restart now it has taken about an hour and a half to finish and finalize.my question is...does anyone know what all this means??is it an old piece of crap?,do the bios settings need changed?
When i try to install a program i had downloaded from the web, i get a box saying: Windows Installer The Windows Installer device could not be accessed.

I am running Windows XP home edition in disk clean up option I have it set to compress old files I haven't accessed in 6 days When I run disk clean up it cleans everything else I have checked but won't compress old files What should I do ?

In a previous thread, XP was scanning on boot. I worked the problem to death, converted all partitions to NTFS, and we finally gave up. We formated 120G C: and re-partitioned...went from approx. three 40G parts to one 50G (C:) and remainder approx 65G (E:). This install was done yesterday, and this morning, on first boot, it froze at a black screen (desktop is black), with a solid drive action light. Re-boots do not evoke a scandisk, but give a good boot to the desktop. I've tried to view the error log, but it won't show any of those tools...."not found", sys info, etc.
When attempting to open a JPEG in Windows picture and Fax viewer I get an error that the program is unable to locate gdiplus.dll, recommends reinstalling the application. After searching the PC I can see that it is installed 4 times in various locations.I also get this error when attempting to launch windows media player. Recently I have been performing a clean up of my PC (With guidance of TSG Security Forum) due to spyware infections. Part of this included running Ewido security suite. I noticed that there is a file at location c:ewidogdiplus.dll.
I'm having some problems with my XP pro Dell computer. Recently my brother downloaded some songs off of Limewire ( I know it's really bad). I have AVG free installed and it detected multiple viruses as mshypiw.dll I prompted to remove them, and it warned my system may become unstable or crash, I still clicked to remove them and after a re-boot my computer opened up to an error.winlogon.exe - Unable To Locate Component.This application failed to start because mshypiw.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.After I click OK it gives me the same error over and over again for different .exe files. Ex: lsass.exe, Services.exe.It Then opens the logon to windows screen and I can login as normal. Then it gives me many more of the same errors, which if I enter through all of them, I can eventually get to the desktop. Then, if I try to run any program I get more of this same error, depending on which program I try to open, some will open and some will not.
I have googled for this error for hours on end and can't find an answer. I did find this KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319114. Which seams to relate to my problem but the file framedyn.dll is not in my dllcache folder and I cannot get to my System setteing because of this error.
When I started up my IBM, I got a message about "missing file" - then all went black! I put in the installation disc, hoping to be able to push the "repair" button, but all I got was the following message: "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt <Windows root>/system32/hal.dll. Please re-install a copy of this file." OK, but how? Where would I get such a copy, is it on the Inst Disc, and PARTICULARLY - how can I install this file (when I can't get the system to open or can't even reinstall the OS from the Installation disc) IMPORTANT!! If you can help me, please remember that I am a relative newbie (ok, I've learnt a bit over the last few years, but even so) and I UNDERSTAND NOTHING ABOUT "BIOS" and things like that, so - if possible a sort of a "one step after the other"
I have installed on my system which has windows 2000 installed on it. It gives me a strange error UNABLE TO INITIALIZE MEMORY STREAM and gets stuck up. I have tried unstalling and restalling both of them ,but it isnt working.
I have managed to repair the OS (XP Home) but am still experiencing one or two problems. The main one at the moment is that though it has downloaded and successfully installed 33 MS Critical Updates it is not able to install Service Pack 2. It gets about half way through installing SP2 and then brings up an "Access Denied" Error.
Well when i go to install this i get this error http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/1951/untitledan4.jpg Any idea how to fix it? This is really important as i cant install java and i really need it for school
(My Computer) I: is not accessible--The request could not be performed because of an IO error.This occurred with a NEW Iomega HDD desktop 250GB USB 2.0 external hard drive. I am using Windows XP on a Sony Desk top.I was in the process of formatting the drive from FAT32 to NTFS when the formatt was about 98% complete and it advised it could not complete.I reconected it to my Lap-Top and the it completed the formatting and showed OK on MY Computer Disk management this was on my lap top. I reconnected to my desktop. new drive Orginally showed as (H). When it was reconnected It was and has been very slow in loading on MY Computer. It now shows as Drive (I) When I clicked on (I) the above error message came on after a prolonged period of time.
I had several stop errors. They occurred when in Windows and clicking on IE. On click we got the blue screen, stop errors, abd memory dump messages. I read into the stop erros and it appears to be caused by a device just installed or a software. My wife just installed the Real Player, for the Big-Brother network, which I didn't think was a good idea but what the heck. The error also points to bad menory.
