I have Win XP Pro. Earlier today, I was trying to install turbo tax. When I clicked on the setup.exe file, nothing seems to happen. So I checked the task manager. Setup.exe was running in the processes tab. I was logged in as my user ID, so I looked at the processes that were up that I owned. One was openme.exe. I stopped this process and once I did, the setup ran and I was able to install. Didn't know what this openme.exe was doing to my PC, so I renamed it to see the effect. I rebooted afterwards and once I logged in again, it was saying that it couldn't find openme.exe.
I guess it's a windows application file that needs to be run everytime I login. I just don't know why when it's up, I can't seem to execute setup.exe files, or even some applications (like when I clicked on the installed turbo tax exe file, nothing happens).
Also, I disabled Messenger, but when XP comes up, it says '2 unread messages' in my icon.
Does this seem that XP is corrupted? Do I need to re-install? I am running dual-OS (98 second ed. and xp pro). I initially had 98 second edition, then upgraded to xp pro only, but there was some work application incompatible with xp so I uninstalled xp. This reverted me back to 98. I then decided to do dual-OS so I installed a fresh version of xp on a separate partition.
Never had any problem when i initially upgraded to xp from 98, but when i did the actions above to have dual OS, there have been a lot of funky things that have happened.
Thanks for any advice.
