MSI filetype disappeared !!!

[Guest RJK]

Hi,

 

Just been working on a young ladies PC, on which I installed XP SP3 a couple

of weeks ago,

....including installing and uninstalling Nvidia Ntune | and having to

uninstall that :-(

....uninstalled and installed latest nvidia Forceware drivers for older 6200

AGP card...two or three times !

 

anyhow, ...a while later after trying to install the "User profile hive

cleanup service," her system box had lost the *.msi filetype association,

and I had to manually put it back in to Windows Explorer | filetypes list

to get it to install.

so I'm wondering is this was a fault in SP3 as in :-

or if my fighting with nVidia graphics drivers did it ?

 

....any thoughts appreciated ?
