Re: Windows installer with a mind of its own?

Ok i don't think you are listening to me. I know my way around the windows
OS and i hate when people patronise me. I DID NOT USE THE "ISSUE FIX" PART
OF THE PROGRAM WHICH YOU WERE AGAIN INDICATING IN YOUR LAST POST KERRY. THIS
PROBLEM OCCURED WHEN I USED SOME OF THE ADVANCED OPTIONS IN THE CLEANING
PART OF THE PROGRAM WITH WHICH YOU SHOULD ALREADY BE AWARE IN MY LAST POST.
Just to give you a description of why i used these options was because i did
not think they would affect my OS like this. The things i messede about with
was just Cache stuff and log files now if you can explain to me how that
would affect my system in such a drastic way. I will appreciate your
feedback on this.
