Cannot install or uninstall programs
Running windows XP and all of a sudden I cannot install a cd rom and uninstall and old program.
When I tried to uninstall using add or remove programs I get a popup window saying InstallShield(R) setup launcher has encountered a problem and needs to close. When trying to install a cdrom I get Nokia_N80.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. I have looked in the windows helpsite and it only list specific error codes for installshield and as I am not getting one I do not know what to do to fix it. I have got the Installshield updater and am runnning the latest version of it. Any ideas of why I cannot do these functions anymore? Bear in mind I am no IT expert so any help needs to be easy to follow. Cheers |
