miku
Hi Guys I have an AMD 1. 4 GHz w/ ECS K7S5A. I have Windows XP. It doesn't response very fast. Consider it would take 5-10 secs to open in My Computer or Control Panel. I looked into it and found this out.

Windows Installer and XP Pro

SamuraiXPH
I cant get Windows Installer to work properly on my XP pro system. Everytime i try to install a program that uses Windows Installer, IT says could not access Windows Installer Service. This may be caused by running in safe mode, or if Windows Installer is incorrectly installed.

Sorry, Should have got back sooner. I managed to locate the proper software for the device (external hard drive housing, connected to standard parallel port. ) I did find, however, that certain hard drives don't work very well with it.

Is there anyway to run Borland DPMI modules inside Win32? Is there a way to convert a Borland DPMI module into a standard DOS module, etc? I am not familiar with Borland C or whatever Borland language compiled programs.
