Default Installation error - SU0173



Mike,

AV - Nothing wrong with installing just the AV component of the CA suite


I removed each of the four components in turn but even the AV component
alone made things very slow.

How is the PC connecting to the net?


ISP supplied modem/wireless router. I'll investigate your various firewall
suggestions.

.. it is essential that at the very least you install the 290700 patch for system restore


That was the first thing I did. Prior to reinstalling, I tried using system
restore only to find no restore points and the date shown as 31 December 1899.

regards,
Calum

Calum,

That's actually a different error than the one fixed by 290700 and is due
to problems with Win Me's Help system.

For more details of both these errors see:
KB275646 "System Restore Shows Date of Saturday, December 30, 1899"
(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=275646)
and
KB290700 "Checkpoints that you create after September 8, 2001 do not
restore your computer" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=290700).

Let's hope that it is smooth sailing from now on!

Mike M
