: : : I am not able to repair delphi or install any other software from CD. It gives me the error message:the windows installer service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running windows in safe mode or if thhe windows installer is not correctly installed.

: : : When i try to upgrade win2000 inorder to fix this problem it again gives me the error message setup cannot load the keyboard layout file KBDUS.DLL. setup cannot continue.

: : : What is the problem??

: : ---------

: : It seems to me that your Win2000 is damaged severely, that there is not "one" simple error behind the problems. Maybe a virus damaged some files, maybe a damaged drive,...?

: : Given the complexity of operating systems nowadays, one needs direct acces to the system in order to evaluate the damage, so I'm afraid that I can't help you here. I advise you to let a Win2000 expert have a look at the system ...or otherwise, alas, reformat the hard drive and start from scratch...

: : But maybe a visitor of our forum recognizes some some of the symptoms, and I'm overly pessimistic?
