i dunno what happened but i no longer can install any programs...

installshield loads up but then just freezes...

anyone know what's going on?

Have you tried clearing your temp directory? IS has lots of problems if the windows temp directory has lots of files in it (not necessarily IS files either)...

i had the same problem about 2 months ago.

you got windows xp right? if you do windows xp then you got problem with windows installter that is made by installshield.

go to c:\program files\common files\ and delete the installshield folder (yes the whole thing).

also delete all the files in the temp folder.

the reason why you delete the installshield engine is, when you run a installer that was made with installshield it will reinstall the files that are required.

i had this problem a long time ago, did you "disable" any process in Services?

Can someone just tell us what service is needed?

When I uninstall ATI MMC, I always get stuck!!!

For the difference in Task Manager... I got 3 IDriver.exes running, 2 msiexec.exe running, a regsvr32.exe running. maybe 1 extra svchost, but I am not sure

Regsvr32 takes up a lot of CPU

My guess is Installshield needs a fix, not the MMC!

Do either of you have SP2 installed on your pc? If so, you may want to look at the list of programs Microsoft released that may have problems with SP2. Installsheild is on that list :/

Here is link to the Knowledge Base article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...ct=windowsxpsp2

    • OpenAI asks employees to reject Meta's "ridiculous" poaching offers in stern memo by Usama Jawad OpenAI is the place to be right now, especially for prolific engineers who are willing to join CEO Sam Altman in the quest for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). It seems that its rivals have recognized that OpenAI's biggest strength is its employees too, and there have been multiple reports that Meta is poaching its staffers. In fact, Altman himself mentioned recently that Meta is hiring his company's members by offering them up to $100 million in signing bonuses. The company obviously isn't pleased with this situation and has asked its staffers in an internal memo to reject any advances from Meta in the weeks to come. Wired (paywall) reports that OpenAI's Chief Research Officer Mark Chen has published a memorandum in the company's Slack, likening the poaching situation to someone breaking into OpenAI's home and stealing from them. Chen further stated that he will be working with senior leadership including Altman to figure out ways to reward employees with Meta offers in hand with financial compensation and even adjust their overall compensation figures. That said, the executive emphasized that his primary aim is to retain top talent. Chen also quoted messages from seven other senior members of OpenAI's research team with guidance about how to tackle the situation if Meta tries to hire them. One of the advice included asking Meta recruiters to back off if they try to pressurize them with "ridiculous" offers. It is important to note that OpenAI employees have reportedly been struggling with intensive 80-hour work-weeks recently and the company will largely experience a shutdown period next week so that its staffers can recharge. OpenAI believes that this period is also vulnerable for its members as Meta will likely ramp up its hiring efforts during this break. Chen reminded OpenAI employees that they should focus on their main quest, which is achieving AGI, and that confrontations with Meta during this difficult period are just side quests. It is unclear how responsive OpenAI staffers will be to the memo's instructions in the coming days, especially when stacking it up against the reported multi-million compensation offers from Meta. Zuckerberg is even reaching out to some OpenAI employees personally, with the most recent report indicating that Meta had hired four senior OpenAI researchers for its superintelligence lab.
    • Exactly. Use it is fine, but copyright is another story...
    • Not really, I am pretty hot at the moment and tomorrow I will be even hotter as the U.K are some hot days. Not looking forward to work. I just don't want to connect my computer to MS servers, I have no need to, the same with my Mac not being connected to Apple Servers. I have no need for MS or Apple accounts.
    • Really? Do you want it spelled out? Ok: It was a funsies way to say that we can confidently asume that their update servers were shut down years ago already, and no updates have been developed or delivered to any LG phone in years, since, to begin, LG wasn't too well known for their software support.
