Thank You Ken!
I asked because my daughters BF is having trouble installing any new programs. iTunes and Adaware in particular!
He's getting a windows installer error. He went to MS and downloaded the latest windows installer but it didn't make any difference.
So now he's considering a repair to see if that will make a difference.

If you Ken or anyone else has any ideas what the problem may be feel free to let me know!

Dell Sucks.... In my opinion anyways

Try different memory or try removing all but 1 stick and try the stuff again. I had these same problems after OC'ing my computer and the memory went whacky afterwards....dunno why since I didnt touch the memory timings :?

Never hurts to try :)
