Windows XP Installer does not not for updates or MS Office 2010. Error says Safe Mode, but I'm not in it.
Windows XP Installer doesn't work is not for the automatic updates or MS Office 2010. Error says Safe Mode, but my machine is not in Mode without failure.
When I try to run MS Office 2010, it starts a dialog box "preparing to install...." "even if I had used it for a few years. In the end, it fails and tells me whether I'm in Mode safe or I need to reinstall Windows Installer, I have done several times.
I can automatically download updates and they seem to be installed, but all fail at the end.
Any ideas on how to address this problem? Yes, I know that it is probably recommended to buy a new PC, but I need this machine operate fully for the next months. Then by reloading the operating system does not, either. He told me that my XP disc is the wrong version.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Windows Live Mail does not present as an option for default programs or in the Start Menu.
Something happened this week. I can't identify enough exactly when so I can't say with certainty whether or not it is the new update of 2011.
I use Windows Live Mail (desktop application) for the mail. It is installed and since I built the machine first. I've recently updated for 2011 through Windows Update. In the Start Menu, the default e-mail link no longer works. If I go to customize, I have the options of Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, and Outlook. If I select Windows Live Mail, it launches a web browser to go to live.com and use Hotmail (which I don't use).
Now, if I choose Windows Mail, and then re - open Windows Live Mail manually, I can set it by default. In this case, when I go back into the Start Menu, the link is there but empty and you get a message that "the selected item is not available. It might have been moved, renamed, or deleted. You want to remove from the list? "I can't get around that. Under "Default programs" in the Control Panel, Windows Live Mail is not yet there. It's as if she is not yet installed, and whatever the shortcut points to (wherever it may be) is apparently nothing. In the registry, under HKLM/Software/customers/Mail, there is no key for 'DLLPath' and "LocalizedString" as there are other programs.
I must point out that repair installation does not help and neither does file and reinstalling.
I managed to solve the problem. I received an email from another user and I'm sorry to say, I do not remember what were the instructions in the email. The answer to (y) our problem used to exist on the web, until Microsoft has removed the old answers live site, or something like that.
IIRC, I believe that it was fixing the misdirected registry keys.

Let me soce entry details:
1. all computers need to have at least one administrator account. It will not work without it.
It does NOT, however, create a profile For YOU defaultAdmin. It belongs to the user or the owner to create and decide who is Admin, and who is a regular user.
2. even an admin account will not get to install and change the settings automatically. UAC (user account control) always appears to ask for confirmation of the task by clicking on continue, or by typing the admin password.
3 be the main user is not to be an administrator. It is up to the user/owner of the computer to be configured as such.
That said, now my question... How do you know that you're not an admin?t-4-2

I have several MSU files that I downloaded on my computer.
I click on them and the stand-alone windows installer goes into "searching for updates on this computer".
2 hours later, still nothing.
I know that people have problems with the update of win 7... Nothing works.
So far is just sitting there looking for updates... He ran all night... Nothing... always to research.
I can not find where Microsoft puts the installed update files... If the software distribution folder, which wiped out during one of my attempts to resolve this problem.
windows update told me today there were new updates available, and then sit there for 6 hours trying to get them with no result...
So if I can't even manually install MSU file, what can I do? Try to install the kb3102810 fix
You can use internet explore and access the catalog M$ and bring the two,.
That is to say a right click and run as administrator
Then go to the catalog and the top search right for each update and allows them to basket
