Guest Don Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 I have a computer running XP Pro that has problems installing programs. Seems that the admin rights are no longer there, not even under the admin account. I have created a new admin account, but it has no rights either. I see that there alot of DCOM errors showing up in the event log, but can not find anything out about them. If I do try to install a new program, or even try to do Windows Updates, they all fail. They only thing that installed latelt was IE7. Once that installed, I lost my mapped drives on my network. not sure why these 2 things would go together? I tried to have a tech log into the computer from his location, and we could not do it remotley through his program or even through Remote Assistance. We even tried turning off all firewalls. Right now the computer is not running an anti-virus program, because I can not get one to install. Either from one I downloaded online, or from a CD. Not sure why the computer is this way, just is a problem I inherited when I said that I would help fix it. Any ideas?
