I have WinXP Home.
Today, I cannot uninstall programs using the Control Panel. The message was
something like: "An error occurred while trying to remove program X ..."
I cannot install programs by double-clicking. The message is: "Windows
cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the
appropriate permissions.
Until today, everything was fine.
As an experiment, I tried to "install" several programs that are already
installed, and I get the same message.
BTW: I can launch any program from Program Files by double-clicking.
Please advise.
