Can I safely uninstall all programs below
On my list "Add or remove" in Control Panel, I have the following list of programs:
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP2
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 SP2
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 extended
My problem is as follows; All of these programs seem to me (not a computer guru) is very redundant and I would like to know, safely remove any of them?
With most applications, version 2 would represent an update of version 1 and version 1 would be is no longer necessary. This is not the case with the .NET Framework. An application that was written for 1.1 will always use 1.1. Therefore, any of these are only safe to take if none of your applications must use this version. Since you don't usually have no idea as to the applications using the frameworks (I have not), the safest bet is to leave them on your computer.
HTH,

To do this. Click Start--->Search---> all files and folders and type in the search box ""msi.dll " without the quotes and click on search." When the search is complete, right-click on one of the msi.dll file and select Properties. Click on the version tab on the page that has ensued. If the version is earlier than 3.1, you must download and install the latest version: WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2 - x 86-.exe from the link below.

Windows xp starts, but can not access to all programs
I have 4 users with admin capabilities on my Winows XP system. I am the main user/administrator. Windows XP will start and open, but on my side of the score of 'user', some Windows applications don't open with icons appearing on the taskbar of lower start-up. By clicking on any of my desktop icons "shortcut" to open the box with "Choose the program you want to use to open this program" no response, when you select the applicable program. Open the control panel and clicking on an icon brings up the tab: "C:\Windows\System32\rundll.exe application not found. When I open one of the other 3 users, I have windows total access to applications. Why this problem only happening with my score "user"?
You will appreciate all the advice. I have Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3. Thank you very much.
You can spend a lot of time trying to find and fix the problem, but since it only affects a single user, then that narrows it down to a problem of user profile. The fastest way to recover is simply to create a new user and copy your old stuff to the new user profile. Just follow the instructions below, claiming that your current connection is damaged...
