Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 1 / May 2008Problem reinstalling Wordpad and calculator - keeps uninstalling OE & WMP
I accidentally uninstalled Wordpad. When trying to reinstall it via Add/Remove files > Add/Remove Windows Components, I uncheck everything but accesories and then work my way down to Wordpad and Calculator. Check it go back to the root, hit go but find that it uninstalls Outlook Express and Windows Media Player. Reinstall those and Wordpad goes away. I seem to be caught in this endless loop. All input will be appreciated. > Reinstall those and Wordpad goes away. I seem to be caught in this > endless loop. Wordpad and Calculator both go away, even though they're unchecked when reinstalling OE & WMP. > Reinstall those and Wordpad goes away. I seem to be caught in this > endless loop. Wordpad and Calculator both go away, even though they're unchecked when reinstalling OE & WMP. When you uncheck an item it uninstalls it so do not untick anything you wish to keep, just add a tick to WordPad & Calculator. :) HTH, Edna. >I accidentally uninstalled Wordpad.

Here's the way Add/Remove Windows Components works. If you uncheck an application, it will be removed. Any program that is already installed that you want to keep should have a check mark next to it. Don't uncheck any program you want to keep. That means putting a check mark next to Outlook Express, Windows Media Player, Wordpad, and Calculator along with the other programs you want to keep. Good luck Nepatsfan > I accidentally uninstalled Wordpad.

Uhhh, guy...anything you uncheck will be removed, anything checked will be installed (if not lready installed).  SignaturedadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ...a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that. Get it at http://mysite.verizon.net/xico > Uhhh, guy...anything you uncheck will be removed, anything checked will be > installed (if not lready installed). If that were true, I'd be losing Internet Explorer, which I'm not. It says "To add or remove a component, click the checkbox. A shaded box means that only part of the component will be installed..." I also find that IE and WMP are check by default when I open Add/ Remove Windows components. If I leave them checked they're removed. If I uncheck them, they're removed. I'll see if I can uninstall WMP, IE and then see if they'll reinstall at the same time as calculator and wordpad. you guys are mean i have the same problem too so just try to call a support person or something > > Uhhh, guy...anything you uncheck will be removed, anything checked will be > > installed (if not lready installed).
