Downloading em now... I give em a try...

 

Click Start, click Run, type the following command, and then click OK:N:\dotnetframework\dotnetfx.exe /t:c:\temp /c:"msiexec.exe /i c:\temp\netfx.msi REINSTALL=ALL ReinstallMODE=vomus"

Note Replace N:\ in this command syntax with the original installation path.



What the hell does that mean? How would I know the original path?

 

Update... Nothing worked. The 2 major issues I wanted fixed, are still here. Now when I checked my control panel to remove and resintall stuff I noticed that both of my .net 1.1's have no file size next to em. Does that mean that they are not installed?

See what I mean, I circled the 2 things Im talking about....

jason, great post man!

Essentially, a component of .Net is fubar'd....and its not responding the way it should. Jason gave you the proper way to handle it....

 

Awesome, Im going to try this today. Thanks for all the help Jason and Derrick...

Edit... It worked... thank you soo much.

 

Glad we could help.

How's the firewall issue?

 

I think its good. It popped up that one time, so I restarted... then it fixed its self. I haven't seen it do it since then. I do plan on getting rid of my "free" virus stuff and getting a better one. What is a good one out now? I know MS Live One Care was good, but they are going to stop using that or making it from what I heard.

 

Live OneCare was fast and appeared to do a good job, but was one of the poorest rated AV programs. Thats why they are going to stop making it, they gave up with catching the top rated guys.

If you plan on online purchase:
Kaspersky ($50) or BitDefender ($25). The best of the best.

If you plan on retail purchase (most preferred to least):
Kaspersky ($60) or Webroot ($40).

The prices I quoted you are for the single PC versions, including some online sales going on right now. Kaspersky is normally $60 online, same as retail, but has $10 off right now. BitDefender is normally about $30, but has $5 off right now.

 

Great. I'll have to look in to them when I get paid and pick on up. Thanks again.
