Thank you Engel! I work at a premiere Computer Builder and we have ran into
this problem many times, our solution is to just re-image the comp.. I have
stuff on mine I don't want to loose. Dial-a-Fix got through the problem
wonderfully..

Hi Engel,

I'm having the same problem only I'm using a 64 bit Windows Vista OS.
Dial-a-fix is not available for Vista yet. Ccleaner did not help. Any
suggestions?

Thanks!

Start a completely new thread and give all the details of your
situation.

I'm sorry if I am in the wrong area for this to but, I am having the same
problem as well. My question is, why do you have to run these to applications
in safe mode as apose to the normal way? I am going to try this method and
see if I can get my updates to install on my system.
