Re: Problem Installing and with already installed programs

I do scan disks, defrag and other maintained procedures weekly. Clipmate,
Nero, OE Quote Fix, and APC software have been installed for some time. It
started with the last batch security fixes from MS and as I've said this
machine has been rock solid for 2 years now. The first problems I noticed
was in OE Quote Fix and APC's software (backup power supply). Then with an
upgrade of Clipmate and Nero both of which failed completely. Other installs
have failed as well and have made restore point prior to each attempt to
install some software. With that said all restore point vanished shortly
after the last MS patches like they never existed. All MS patches where done
from the MS update site.

Media Center is working fine as is Office Developer's version and other
software.

Makes me wonder if this is hardware based...if so, could be a number of
pieces. The drive itself, ram, motherboard. Could be software but I'm
wondering...

I'm using AVG and I turn everything off in task manager when I tried to
install Nero 7.8.5.0. I finally gave up on it as it would crash just
before finishing the install. I did get my older version of Nero 6.6.1.4
to install even with a typical send message box on the start of every one
of the installs. At least I can now read my CD/DVD that I saved with Incd
as well as record TV/Music though not through media center. I'm still
getting errors on every reboot from APC Powerchute monitor software as
well as OE Quote Fix. I have sent MS at least 50 reports of every thing
that has crashed. All of this stuff was previously installed and working
fine with the exception of Nero 7.8. I did have Nero 7.5 installed
however.

I started getting the errors a couple of weeks ago now. I didn't realize
that Nero 7.5 had a sound problem till yesterday and decided to download
7.8. I uninstalled 7.5 then rebooted and tried to install 7.8. It seems
to get lost on the cab files which I worked around by moving them to the
folder it was looking for them in. After it gets all the files in place
it then all comes to an abrupt end with the last message in regards to
updating the registry. At this point I have nothing in Nero that will
work.

The only thing I can associate with this problem was a few MS patches I
downloaded from MS. The problems started the next day I would assume as I
was gone a few days after that.

What antivirus are you using? Do you turn it off when installing
software?

Yes, it worked with the restoring of Clipmate however when I went to
uninstall Nero there was no restore points save at that time. It is
like there was no System Restore at all.

Have you tried using System Restore to a date before the update to see
if that fixes these issues?

Does any more explanation show up in Event Viewer?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

First I'm running Media Center 2005 installed by Dell 8400 for about
2 years now. It has been supper stable until about 2 weeks ago.

My problems started to show up a few days after a MS patch though I
have no idea which patch caused it.

First problem was after I installed an upgrade to ClipMate and that
wouldn't run for more than a couple of seconds the turned it self
off. There was no error messages at all. I used restore to take it
back to my previous version and no more problems as of yet.

Second problem is with OE Quote Fix which was installed within a
couple of days of getting this system. It has worked perfectly up
until the previous mentioned patches. I now get a message to send a
report to MS as there is a problem with OELaunch.exe. Regardless of
the message I click don't send or send it runs fine afterwards.

Third problem is every time I reboot my APC Powerchute (back up power
supply monitor) gives the same type of error with problem with
Display.exe. However if I click on the icon for it in my Task Bar I
get the same message then it seems to work until I close it then the
icon is gone.

Forth problem is I was forced to uninstall Nero 7.7.5.1 due to
problems with sound not recording and have tried everything to
install the latest version of Nero 7.8.5.0. I have cleaned every
thing off from previous versions of Nero using their tools. It seems
to install all their files in the proper place then crashes during
the install right at the end with the same type of messages I get
above then after clicking on the send/don't send buttons I get
another message "Internal Error: Custom Action DLL crashed on last
call in function 'NeroAg_RegisterComEx'. And so on.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
