Ok here is my problem. It does matter what I am trying
to install or unistall but if it is from microsoft it
takes a few hours to do. Windows updates I download at
night anf finnally by the next morning they have
installed. Money 2004 I need to unistall and reinstall.
After 3 hours it finally unistalled. I have no problems
with other vendors products just Microsoft. Does anyone
have any ideas?? My laptop installs everything from
microsft quickly. Thanks for you help.

No one can help unless you provide more information. Also posting in a
Windows newsgroup when you are having problems in money will not get you the
results you want. Please post in the corrent newsgroup with more
information about the problems you are having with that application.
 
Cris you do not understand....it is NOT one product in
particullar. IT is all Microsoft products.....windows
update downloads is my main concern
Donnie
 
Chris....ok what I am saying is that all microsoft
products take forever to install. Windows updates take 1-
3 hours to install....Office 2003 took overnight to
install....Money 2004 took half a day to uninstall and I
started reinstall at 3pm today and is still not finished.
All this leads me to belive that it has something to do
with windows xp pro. However I have a laptop also running
xp pro and the updates and software all install fine. It
acts like some kind of setting in the desktop has been
changed but I have not chaged anything. I have tried a
repair install of XP but this did not solve the problem.
The only thing else that I know to do is to reformat my C
drive and start over from scratch but I really do not want
to do this...any ideas?? Thanks for all your help

More information is still needed. What are the specs of your PC? has it
always been this way on that PC?
 
Donnie;
Seems very strange, still, start with all the stuff on the link in my
previous post.
Also, if this is a recent issue, try System Restore to a date/time
before issue started.
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/system Restore
 
Microsoft use the same installers as other programs use. The only
difference is that all the programs you have talked about required large
amount of hard drive space.
 
Chris specs are as follows....
P4 3.06 HT
1024MB Ram
120 GB Hardrive 90GB Fre
128 Nividia 5600FX Ultra Video Card
any thing else you need to know???

Microsoft use the same installers as other programs use. The only
difference is that all the programs you have talked about required large
amount of hard drive space. You should scan for virus, end un-needed
process', and disable software firewall and anti-virus software before
install any software. Other then that there is nothing you can do. If you
have problems with other installers i can provide more help, but since you
said its only Microsoft programs there is no "fix" All the programs that
you said you are installing take up hundards of megabytes. That is the
biggest reason it takes longer. If no of this helps i would suggest backing
up all important data and doing a clean install of Windows XP.

Why is my computer running so slow, it used to be much faster?

Just a stab in the dark, but is your hard drive running in DMA
mode?
