How do I work with .MSI files on Windows XP?

May 31, 2005 / Dave Taylor / Windows PC Help / 3 Comments

Dave. In reference your recent comments on .msi installation (specifically How do I install a .MSI download?). I’ve done some research and find that neither Microsoft nor you don’t WinXP, which is where I’m having a problem. My Dell laptop constantly tells me that msi is required for the application to work properly. I try to load the suggested msi files and I get a message that state my current msi files are more current than what I’m trying to load. Catch-22 MS style. Aside from reloading XP, do you know of a fix?

Can I delete the contents of Windows NtUninstall?

May 26, 2005 / Dave Taylor / Windows PC Help / 21 Comments

Downloading and installing Windows updates results in NtUninstall folders being placed in the Windows Directory, pertinent to each download. Do these folders need to be maintained and if so for how long? Over time, these folders accumulate to occupy a significant wad of disk space. If they can be deleted i.e. there are no problems resulting from the update, what is the recommended procedure? Will the deletions have any detrimental effects in on-going operations?

Dave, I’d like to know if there’s a program available that will let me create a document on the computer and save it to a DVD-ROM disk so that it’s playable on a DVD machine? I created a Powerpoint document and saved it on a DVD, but it won’t play on my DVD machine, the unit only plays the music. Thank you.

Auto-updated Windows, now it crashes all the time?

May 17, 2005 / Dave Taylor / Windows PC Help / 31 Comments

Let me tell you about my experience about the Windows XP Crash Update after the 12th of April 2005

  • First I had just installed windows xp sp2, and installing all my drivers.
  • Installed McAfee? anti virus and firewall plus updated them, where I have a DSL net link
  • Then I went to windows automatic update doing all the update,
  • After the windows has finished downloading all the updates, I shut down to make all the updates effective on my next restart
  • The windows never started again in any mode even safe mode the only thing it did is keeping restarting the computer, after giving a blue screen. With some login module problem
  • I could not do any thing but formatting the drive and redoing the previous steps again, where I thought there was a virus what did that.
  • But each time I got windows to update to the last update; it crashes with the same symptoms.
  • The next few days I have learned the many of my friends have suffered from the same problem, after Auto updating there windows.
  • Can you tell us what the hell Microsoft is doing?!

Till then i have disabled my windows ubdate till i find out which update # from Microsoft that does this crash, then i will bypass it.
