Ok, I downloaded tweak UI a couple of weeks ago, now I try to install another power toy and it says WIndows INstaller could not run, because windows is either in safe mode or windows was not installed properly. I tried other programs like office XP and they wont install either!? Someone please help

It sounds like you either broke some DLLs, or that tweak ui really screwed up your system. Do you get any particular error message when you try to install or did you change ny particular setting in tweak ui?

Make sure you are using the Tweak UI that was designed for your OS. If you try to use the wrong version of Tweak UI you possibly could get some strange results.

Well in your system rig profile, it says you have Windows XP, so of course you'd need the PowerToys/TweakUI for Windows XP, here

Depending on when the problem started, I think you should try it.

I use system restore but it doesn't seem to restore completely, I bought a program on february 25, 2003 and I restored XP to february 13, but the program I bought on the 25th is on the computer! I'm angry!
