Active Setup Product Update Problem
| Wed, 12-08-2004 - 5:39pm |
I recently uninstalled/re-installed the Webshots software. Now, everytime I boot up I get the following message box: Active Setup Product Update (that's the title of the box). The message within the box says "Setup is unable to update any components. Please check your internet connection and then try again". I've never had this message before after uninstalling/re-installing any programs. What does this message mean and how do I make it go away or fix whatever the problem is?

I tried to find something on Webshots site, one thing said that you should make sure that you have emptied your temporary internet files. Other than that I would need to sign in to dig more and I don't have an account there.
Also does your computer have all of it's updates? The only other thing I can find for Active Setup are old pages about Active Setup for IE 4 to IE 5.0....... That is old.
I would check further on the Webshots site and see if anyone else has had that happen. Then let us know what you find out if you would.....Thanks Janet
Have a nice day !.
Let me look around and see if I can find something out about this. If it is a problem you would have without Webshots or not.
I have looked at Webshots before and I thought about downloading it but it is just something else taking up my cpu power and is always going on the internet by itself and that bugs me.
Be right back.........

Have a nice day !.
Are you running Windows XP? I am having the darnedest time trying to find anything on Active Setup after 1999-2000.
I can't find anything either. It could be that something is corupted. Can you right click on it and turn it off?
We have a Tech guy stop by from time to time that may be able to answer you. But here is Microsofts link to reinstalling IE. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=318378
After checking on what people had to say about Webshots either it installed smoothly or they were having worse problems that you are. One guy said he downloaded the free version and had a Shell.dll problem. So he was going to email or call Webshots and there is no way to get ahold of them at all unless you have paid for their program. And he said he thought it was silly to pay to get help for something that was broken before you buy it.......
This is the first time I have come up with nothing like this. I am sorry. Anyone else have any ideas?
My computer has started runnng slow and I have not installed SP2 after searching for the best way to handle this because I know it has to be installed. Then best way that most of the geeks have said is to get the disk and reinstall Windows and install the SP2 on a clean installation......I hate to do that but it might be a better way than to mess around with things not working at all............
So we both need help.........Janet
Have a nice day !.
I did read somewhere that in order to update some things according to Microsoft you need to get XP.
Have a nice day !.
