Hi Darren
It sounds like there is a problem with the windows installer, either it is
not running or the installation has been corrupted. You can check to see if
it is running by doing the following:
In the run box type services.msc and tab to the list of services.
cursor down and near the end of the list should be the Windows Installer
service.
If it is set to disabled then you need to use the applications key to alter
its properties.
In the properties dialog box tab to start up type and change it to either
automatic or manual. Mine is set to manual.
If you don't find the windows installer service in the list then you could
try going to Microsoft update and installing it from there.
Obviously without this service you are unable to install applications so it
has to be running.
Hope this helps
Darren.

Subject: [access-uk] Windows Running in Safe Mode
Hi List.
On trying to install a couple of programs over the last day or so, I've
had
the following message pop up:
"Windows Installer
The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you
are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not
correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance. OK"
Now, I've just got my PC back from the shop - the third time in as many
weeks - and I'm wondering if this is something they've done during a
repair?
Is there anything I can do to check out this Safe Mode situation, or is
this
strictly an eyes only problem?
Oh, its XP, in case that's relevant.
Regards.
Darran
