Well... I don't know what or which to blame !!

I recently installed my Win XP !!

It's like somethings gone bad or something... well when i try to install or uninstall programs they won't happen

And then i would have to Manually start the "windows installer"

Same goes for my "Ipod" i will need to start the service... manually... or else my itunes says "software not properly installed"

What could have happened ?

I mean the Services are by default in "Manual"... but why won't it initialize when i install or uninstall programs and software

Help... please

Should i repair my win XP ?

Well I found my problem... just posting so that you all might be aware!!

apparently i had disabled the service "DCOM Server Process Launcher"

Which resulted in my *Windows installer not working

*Ipod not getting detected

*word document not opening properly

* And mp3 not opening in winamp automatically


Everything well now...

Take care

Leave the system services to automatic not manual.
