PTS 0 Posted August 21, 2003 I noticed a patch for IE and one for DAC, so I downloaded them and rebooted. I noticed that nothing that usually loads at startup actually did so. Not even my Antivirus. Strange indeed! So I tried to load at least one of them post boot and I get some wierd error message about the file not being there, but it was. I did not do a system backup prior to this because I thought sure Microsoft had all of these screwups rectified. Little did I know I would get RECTALfied afterwards. Luckily Windows Update did a backup for me. So after a restore everything is back to normal. I do not know which of these two patches did this and I don't care. They will not be going back on my computer until someone can tell me what the hell is going on. Be careful guys.. D. Share this post Link to post
PTS 0 Posted August 21, 2003 UPDATE! I just installed the IE6 patch again, but this time I did that one by itself. Once again after reboot my stuff was not loading. I was paying a bit more attention to the error messages that were poping up this time before going straight to panic stage and it said that I did not have some sort of permission to do what I was tring to do. I even got that error with System Restore before another reboot. This makes no sense. Share this post Link to post
franzj 0 Posted August 21, 2003 Two possibilites that I can think of: your NTFS permissions on one or more files or directories are not correctly set, and/or your registry permissions for one or more registry keys are not correctly set. Offering a diagnosis or solution to these problems I find more difficult, because I don't want to tell you the wrong thing. Good luck with it, Francis Share this post Link to post
