Never in my llife have I seen a problem with INstaller, but it's happening. In fact, this OS keeps coming up with new bummers, that I haven't had befor. It hard crashed after a few weeks of operation, and a mini hard stroke this week, forget the old blu screen of death, this one has it's one, just discised a little. I've heard one can convert back to XP, but having skipped that one, I don't know how it is. Please put on thinking caps for me as I'm stumped and every thing puiter related is getting more difficult as time goes on.
Windows Install, ain't installin'

What exactly is the problem?
Windows will not install if for example you have SATA drives-unless you load the drivers for it to see your hard drive...

For months, I had no problem installing anything, but now it refuses, siting something about the windows installer not working, according to some other advise, I tried to uninstall it, it has a problem doing that too. This seems like a new Vista problem as Win 98 never had any trouble. Thanks.

Windows 98SE??? I ran that 7 years ago, what a mess.
Anyhow, You may have corruption (usually due to User eror/Reg Cleaners/malware)
Run sfc/scannow, and check your hard drive for errors. You can also try restoring to a point before the corruption occured (If a restore point for it still exists), otherwise you may need to repair/re-install.
