    Windows 'Setup.exe' ..quit working

    i was deleting audio programs to install a new sound card. and i got a message that Setup.exe quit working.. apparently it referred to deleting the sound program, but i need to get rid of it

    i also got an Error 5001

    >Setup DLL\Setup.CPO(462)
    PAPP:Sound Blaster X-Fi
    PVENDOR ------
    PGUID -----
    $9.1.0.429
    @Windows Service Pack 1
    (6001) IE 7.0.6001.18000
    error code 5001

    IS THERE ANY WAY TO FIX THIS.

    Not a good idea to delete programs...
    you should always use the "uninstall" option.

    Try a system restore to a time prior to your meddling with the system

    i un-installed in theControl Panel-add/remove.. but i have dual boot, and i didn't know at the time you lost all your restore points if you booted in on the other HD.. i got distracted and didn't click on F8 fast enough and lost my restore points in C: to fix it.

    i didn't meddle with the program, i was following the instructions that came with my new Sound Card.
