    Hey, i've got a minor problem with a file called mshta.exe, which is the Add/Remove Programs program. Whenever I try to start Add/Remove Programs, mshta.exe creates an error, and says it is logging the error. First of all where would i check this log file for the error? Ok, so this all started after I installed IE6. Actually, I was trying to install my new game NBA Live 2003 and it needed IE6 to install with it. So I let IE6 install. Computer rebooted, and when it restarted again in windows, IE6 was trying to install itself when Explorer crashes. I can't do anything but reboot from this point. So after rebooting, things looked to be fine, IE6 installed and went onto the desktop. But then i tried accessing Add/Remove Programs and it came up with that error. I have Service Pack 3 installed. This is my comp specs:

    AMD 1GHZ
    256MB RAM
    ATI Radeon 9000 Pro
    Sound Blaster Live! 5.1
    Windows 2000 w/ Service Pack 3

    hmmm, dumb of me not to look for it in microsoft support first. The computer with the internet though is really slow so i get impatient with waiting. Anyways, I'm not sure if that will work, as my computer is now dead, i think from the power supply. I turned it off at one time, and about 15 minutes later i tried to turn it on and it just didn't turn on at all. I'm thinking it's because of my new graphics card that i recently put in, that the power supply went dead. It's an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro, and I think my power supply is only 200W or maybe even less than that. Anyway, i'll try that as soon as I get another power supply, thanks for that.

    You're most welcome. Let us know how it goes once you get the new power supply.
