Ok, my PC is starting to act up. Here are the symptoms:
a. IE - cannot open a link in a new window. The window will launch but the page will not load. I can work around this for most pages by clicking the 'stop' button then F5 to reload the page, but pages launched by javascript cannot load at all, & I can't do anything about it. I need to file my income tax returns by 15 Apr, & doing it electronically is the easiest. Unfortunately the tax authorities only sent me the necessary stuff for e-filing (since I've been e-filing for two years now), and I don't have the forms for a paper submission.
b. Install/uninstall wizard - I was trying to uninstall BG2 just now when I got this weird error message:
Error Number: 0x80070725
Description: Incompatible version of the RPC stub. Setup will now terminate.
Can't install/uninstall any programs. Using the add/rmove function of the control panel doesn't work either.
c. I have Norton Systemworks installed. Used to be able to do LiveUpdate without any problems. Now when I try it I get a message that LiveUpdate can't find any products that can be upadted by LiveUpdate.
This is really weird, and I would really be grateful if someone could tellme what's going on here.
If I need to reinstall Windows (I'm using Win 98 SE), can I just do it without having to reformat the hard drive and reinstalling countless other programs?
