Please help....
I am getting an error message that states I... "may be
running in safe mode or Windows Installer may be installed
incorrectly"... when I try to add features to Excel or
download a new version of MSN Messenger.

I am doing online classes and need to resolve this issue
very quickly!

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Christi,

Looks like Windows Installer Service is corrupted. You can down load and
re-install the Installer Service from the below link.

You can also verify whether the Windows Installer Service is started or not
by going to CONTROL PANEL,Services and checking for the status.
