Hi Doofy, Since you can't install any other apps either, it sounds like you have a serious issue with the current state of you system which needs to be resolved... Let's try some basic troubleshooting. If the problem still persists please post back and we'll try some more steps. Good luck! :-) 1. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad blockers using this utility: http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml or this method: http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here: http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php 2. Run a virus scan at: http://housecall.antivirus.com and then install MS AntiSpyware from: www.microsoft.com/spyware to remove any Spyware or Adware which could clog up your PC. 3. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties / Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities. 4. Go to the Windows Update site for everything under Critical and Recommended: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com Some games require a patch: http://www.avault.com/pcrl/patches_list.asp?letter=a -- Cheers, Windows_XP_MVP_Shell/User Jimmy S. http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Visit my MSN Zone.com and Gaming Help Site: http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits MS Games Help and Support Center: http://support.microsoft.com/?pr=gms My advice is donated "AS IS" without warranty; nor do I confer any rights. _________________________________________________________ Doofy Wrote: ================= | When I am trying to luanch Battlefield 2, The technical info says it is this | file`s fault of the error: [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] | It goes on and on with the end of "_appcompat.txt" | PLEASE HELP IT SUCKS AND I CAN`T INSTALL ANY OTHER APPS ON MY SYSTEM!

Hi Doofy, I'm in Canada. My working hours vary depending on my availability. In case you don't know already, all of us who participate in these newsgroups, do so in their own free time as a community contribution. Since you're having multiple issues with the current state of your OS... Your best solution would be to repair Windows using these instructions: How to repair Windows XP: Unplug from your Internet connection, and then repair Windows: using this method: http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm Afterwards, boot up your system, turn on your XP Internet Firewall, plug back into your Internet connection and install all Critical and Recommended updates from: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com  SignatureCheers, *Windows_XP_MVP_Shell/User* Jimmy S. http://mvp.support.microsoft.com Visit my MSN Games and Windows Gaming Help Site: www.msce.mvps.org MS Games Help and Support Center: http://support.microsoft.com/?pr=gms My advice is donated "AS IS" without warranty; nor do I confer any rights. _________________________________________________________ Doofy Wrote: ================= | Jimmy, I Downloaded a trial version of Windows Live OneCare and it did not | detect any problems and I did all the steps you told me to but it is still [quoted text clipped - 63 lines] ||||| It goes on and on with the end of "_appcompat.txt" ||||| PLEASE HELP IT SUCKS AND I CAN`T INSTALL ANY OTHER APPS ON MY SYSTEM!

Hi Doofy, Please try the link again. I just tested it and it is indeed working. :-) Doofy Wrote: ================= | Jimmy, I do no have an Anti-virus and the link: | http://housecall.antivirus.com is not working!

Looking at the path of the error I am surprised that it shows the folders of _two_ users. I would suggest to clear out the temp folders with a program called CCleaner ( ccleaner.com ) or first to use Disk Cleanup (start\programs\accessories\system tools). Before you do this you might want to have a look what these files are saying. You will have to change your view to display hidden files and folders if you are browsing to the folders: in Explorer go to tools\folder options\view and choose 'show hidden files and folders', click apply, ok. Now browse to the txt files, open one and have a look. > When I am trying to luanch Battlefield 2, The technical info says it is this > file`s fault of the error: [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > PLEASE HELP IT SUCKS AND I CAN`T INSTALL ANY OTHER APPS ON MY SYSTEM! > I do have the same issue and there are a lot of people out there have the same issues with this game and it happens with many other games to can you please check in to this is related to video drivers or comparavility. > Looking at the path of the error I am surprised that it shows the > folders of _two_ users.
