Ran >>"Automatically diagnose and fix common problems with Windows Update" on the Microsoft page because I kept getting "Unable to initialize installer GUI" message. It stops me from opening exe files. Im running Windows XP . After running the Fix It app it said "One or more Windows Update components are configured incorrectly"....How do I fix this? Im stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
