Hello Here is my problem 1st I do not have a disc for my windows 7 ultimate 64gb initial installed on my computer. My problem was with IE 11 64bit I keep getting this error ""a problem with webpage caused internet explorer to close and reopen" This all occurred when I downloaded and installed IE 11 64 bit I previously had IE 10 64 bit and there was no problem.. This only happens with IE 11. All my other browsers are ok , Firefox, Opera, Chrome. > I have tried everything trying to get this resolved Uninstalled and reinstalled, etc. Now what has happened is that when I try to install any software I get this error message "Windows Installer service could not be accessed this can occur I in windows installer if not correctly installed." I checked all over (in service)(registery )and all over the computer there is no windows installer anywhere. I need to be able to download a current version for my windows 7 ultimate 64 bit and reinstall it . I need help on these two major problems
I really would appreciate your response and help to resolve both issues
Thank You
Eric
I agree wit DonGateley, most of Microsofts "problem solutions" do not work.
In Windows 95 times, the knowledgebase articles were mostly helpful - but not with
curren OS !!! I can fix most of the problems myself, but when I need to look up
MS kb solutions or suggestions - 99% useless junk....devastating !!!
Oh, that's exactly what you went on to say, sorry.
What mindless idiots populate Microsoft. Only one person buried in the stinky bowels of the company (who has probably moved on) might actually know what is wrong and everybody else is simply guessing quite authoritatively and having no real clue whatsoever. Find that guy for ****'s sake and quit tossing us mindless guesses!
I'll be happy to let anyone at MS (well, maybe not just anyone given the skill shown so far) take the reigns of my computer remotely and figure this out for the hundreds if not thousands who are stuck behind it. You require .NET and can't figure out how to let us install it. Amazing.
I have spent a week on this doing nothing else but pouring through the page after page that Google can rustle up on the problem, trying everything I find to no avail and all I encounter is Microsoft's utter incompetence and customer's utter frustration.
Failure is imminent, people. Get your resume's out there before the rush. Don't think it can happen? Remember DEC. Come to think of it no one at Microsoft below director was probably born when that sudden and shocking large scale collapse occurred. The parallels are greater than you could know.
"1. Insert the Windows 7 DVD 2. Restart your computer..."
You do realize, don't you, that many if not most computer buyers get pre-installed OEM versions of windows that come with no Windows 7 DVD or even a DVD drive to put one in? What do you suggest that they do that's equivalent?
