Hello there,

 

Seems i've got a bit of a problem with my Windows 2k. I can't get some of the .exe software on my harddisk to work. These .exe aren't from programs already installed on my system but are like the .exe game demos or other software setup programs. Could it be some core system Win2k file is already corrupted? Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks! :)

 

Windows 2000 Professional (5.0, Build 2195) Service Pack 4

Are you getting an errors?

Could be just missing dlls, which would give an error, or local security policy doesn't allow users to run or install exes. Have you tried as admin or as a user that has admin rights?

Hi :),

 

I'm not getting any errors when i double clicked or start a setup program. It would appear to be like nothing has happened at all. I checked the processes list to check if it might just be working in the background but nothing either. I am using the PC as an Administrator all this while so won't have any problem with rights to installing programs. You mentioned about local security policy governing the rights of installing .exes. May i know where i might find this menu?

 

Thanks! :)
