ok first off i got this computer a few weeks ago refurbed and ive been
having problems since well day 2. So lets begin at the beginning,
first my tv tuner card quites on me, after a day of tinkering, i call
up customer support and basically they tell me to reformate, i do and
it works(real fun having to transfer files again) again, for about a
day again, so i post on a different board here and get a guy to help me
out, heres the url if you want to see it
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.mediacenter/b...
some were along the line something i did screwed up something because
know when starting a few programs like, media center, during microsoft
update i get a c++ error asking me to terminate the program. It wont
let me use microsoft update! The second prob i have is everytime i boot
up the computer i get installation pop ups and they ask me for a disk
or something, on of them is called trayApp, and the other is a
patch(the patch i believe started after i installed my printer, had to
do it manually cause when i put disk in it said i already had a better
version installed)
i believe the install popups have something to do with my hp printer,
because i hear that it heavily uses .net, nad maybe thats the reasons
for other problems is that its skrewed

heres some system info
CPU : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ 1989 MHz
Proccessor speed: 2 x 2.2 ghz
RAM:1gb ddr sdram
HDD:250gb 7200rpm
OS Version: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build
2600)
Graphics card:ATI radeon express 200 128mp shared
Optical drive: 16x dvd+/-rw dual layer with lightscribe

If anyone knows a way i can fix these it would be much appreciated,
thx!
 
install net version 1 or 2 this should help with the HP printer, I have one
and yes it uses the net software to update it's drivers every blasted week...
 
It wont let me use microsoft update because everytime i do i get a C++
error saying msiexec.exe(think thats it) asked it to run or terminate
in a way.
