Sunday I spent most of the day here cleaning up my stuff (with Ad-Aware, Spybot, Hi-Jack This etc. and also did some changing of privacy settings suggested at somebody's Toolbox, I think Steve, which I have changed back due to the constant prompts during surfing) anyway now, my MSN messenger doesn't start on start up, which I like, and it is checked in MSN config. I tried downloading it again and I got a message UNKNOWN/Installer/Assemblies/Global Error 1603. Help, I absolutely love my MSN Chat and and really, really dislike yahoo and the others.
Anybody got any ideas? I have to go to work now, but will check back after 5pm for any help.
Thanks

This seems to be a common problem, firstly download the latest Messenger from http://messenger.msn.com/ and ensure that your windows updates are current, http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/.

1. Find C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS
2. Rename the folder "InstallTemp" to "InstallTemp2".
3. Then Rename the file "x86_Microsoft.Windows.Networking.Dxmrtp_6595b64144ccf1df_5.2.0.4868_x-ww_212f7d9e" to "x86_Microsoft.Windows.Networking.Dxmrtp_6595b64144ccf1df_5.2.0.4868_x-ww_212f7d9e2".
4.Or simply take the folder and the file and add a 2, that way it will replace with a new one.
5. Install away!

Another Possible Fix for 1603

1. Click on Start -> Find -> Files or Folders
2. Search for sfc.dll. It should be under c:\windows\system32\.
3. Rename sfc.dll to sfc.dll.x [x could be any character(s)]
4. You should be able to do the installs now.
5. After you have installed the software, change sfc.dll.x back to
sfc.dll.
6. Done!

Whenever I try to do any Windows Updates now, "Aministrators Only" comes up. This also just started since Spybot Fixed/Removed all in red.

Tried Both things and still got same message, it happens after I download file. Then it asks if you want to remove or repair file, I pick repair , is this where I am going wrong? I had 4 folders named x86etc etc, and named one, with the 2, should I have deleted the others? I am actually thinking of saving my music files to data disk, my poetry, whatever else I want to keep, and just doing a complete overhaul using recovery disk.. I think I have all my disks for all the software I've added since I got the computer (of course I will check first.) What does anyone think of this? I have had many other problems: No sound (not sure if this is driver probs, or sound card gone bad) None of my chats are working properly, getting error messages on startup dealing with memory.,etc. Or should I ask this on another thread???

I am ready to drop-kick this beeatch! Don't have the money for a new one.
