installation problems

I find it difficult installing updates, and other things after downloading.
I receive messages like windows installer services could not be accessed.
When I try using media player it says that an application error occurred.

Please see this page http://dts-l.net/goodpost.htm then post back to this
thread with the information we'd need to be able to assist you properly.
