625971 2007-12-30 20:50:00 Whenever I try to install a new program like an anti-virus program or a new version of java, I get a window popping up saying that I don't have windows installer or that I'm running Windows in safe mode which I'm not. How do I get this windows installer thing working? jordan (13234)
625972 2007-12-30 20:58:00 Try installing this first (www.microsoft.com)

Is XP up to date with updates?

If youre using XP.
