Re: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Oh boy, I'm lost. As for your first suggestion re changing the boot.ini
file, mine now reads:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home
Edition" /fastdetect /NoExecute=AlwaysOffOptIn

I went to Windows Help and brought up Data Execution Prevention, and then
Microsoft Knowledge base, but couldn't make heads or tails of it. I did
note something about downloading a SP 2 patch for WP11, but that was if I
was having a problem updating the program. I just want to open it.

You suggested going to wpwin11.exe/properties and changing it to W98
compatibility. Is that Windows 98? And how do I do this (go to
wpwin11.exe/properties)?

So you reinstalled XP SP2. Shall I uninstall it then reinstall it? When I
went to uninstall it, it said something about I might remove security
updates. Would these be other than XP SP2?

It's a nice feeling to know that someone is trying to help me. Thanks.
