Hi,
I’ve only just subscribed to Techrepublic and after searching the Q&A section for an answer to a problem which a client of mine is having found exactly the same fault. ‘Ashton’ had exactly the same problem, and although the question has been closed I couldn’t tell whether he had been able to fix it. I have done all the things Ashton tried but with no effect. The problem concerns an error which crops up when my client tries to access add/remove programs. This is the second time in 3 weeksthat the same problem has occured. I fixed it the first time by re-installing Windows. It has been suggested that McAfee QuickClean may be causing the problem. The original Win2k installation was an upgrade from Win98SE.
Anybody have any ideas?
Here is Ashtons question:
This is a repeat of my earlier question. The Add/remove program feature doesn’t work in Windows2000.
Error:
“Object doesn’t support this property or method rez://appwiz.cpl/default.hta
Line 75”
Before the question was submitted, the virus software had been updated, system scanned for viruses with other virus software as well as McAfee 6.0, which is installed. No viruses have been found. Virus software has been uninstalled,(by Mcafee), and reinstalled. Nothing has affected the problem.
Please try again. I would have preferred to contact the person who responded the first time but could’t find how to do so ..so a repeat of the question! I even checked the registry for all the entries that affect the add/remove programs feature.. (See Q266668 from Microsoft.) I don’t want to reinstall the OS unless I know what caused the trouble and get it fixed!
