goman87 Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 She kept signing in on Web Messenger, so that ment to me she didnt have MSN installed, I asked her why she always uses Web Messenger, she said her PC wont let her install 7.0 or anything, she either has to use Web Messenger or Windows Messenger. She said she had a Dell, that is fairly new too. When she goes to install it she get an Error Code of '1601'Any ideas would be appreciated.Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Another thing you can try is the following. Click Start, then Run. Type: msiexec /unreg and press enter. When this is done repeat it but now fill in msiexec /regserver.Sane thing but dont have to type as much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
