Well, recently my HD died, and I set out on the path to make a 1337 gaming Win2k almost totally optimized. I used HFSLIP to slipstream hotfixes and DX9.0c in(since dx90c doesn't install for some reason), and then I nLited stuff as I previously have. A new problem came up though at some point. Because of the weird HD stuff I had to get through, I can't pinpoint when, but at some point either HFSLIP or a policy I set(gpedit.msc) broke the windows installer. It fails to update if I try to install 3.1(v2) again. So...my question. I've tried setting all the windows installer keys I can to turning it on, or leaving them default. Nothing works, even with reboots. It just stays disabled, and I can't install Kerio or any other programs with .msi based installers. Does anyone have a list of ALL the policies I have to change to get my windows installer working again? It says in the log(all logging enabled) "This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator." Oh, and I'm logged in as an admin. Help! Thanks! -Kramy

I don't see that text(neither does FF's Search feature), but I did find a massive glaring options button right where I wouldn't expect it that brought up a JS menu. Why wouldn't they link it to your profile? Oh well, all better now.

Well, I feel like a n00b asking this, but how can I disable the thread layout that spontaniously popped up and won't let me revert? Perhaps I'm looking for the wrong option or something, but I just spent an hour looking and can't find it anywhere, and I'd rather not waste another hour trying to find it when I could be reading stuff. Edit: I suppose I should have posted this in the other misc forum, but it does apply to other forums of this type aswell, and I'm not a fan of blasting identical topics around. Thanks, -Kramy
