A coupleof weeks ago, my computer had a mass conniption, which required me to completely repair my Windows XP Home installation. Afterwards, several games that I used to play over the Internet (League of Legends, Dawn of War II[which uses Windows Live Games or whatever that is]) no longer connect to said Internet.Some of the forums/suggestions I have seen have mentioned that it may be an error within the .NET framework, and they said I should un/re-install it. Attempting to do so, I chose to repair the installation first, thinking it would have less a chance of going horribly wrong as these things do. However, after the installer "verified the files" but before it began to repair, the program cut off and informed me that the Windows Installer Service could not be accessed, and that [Installer] is not correctly installed.I then tried to repair the Installer service, and tried every online FAQ (including the Windows ones) I could find, but to no avail. No matter how often I un/re-installed it, the .NET Framework refused to repair, and my games still refuse to play.Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.1 person needs an answerI do too

Hey,Run SFC scan and chcek if it helps.Description of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe):http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747/en-us"The Windows Installer Service Could Not Be Accessed" error message when you install a program in Windows XP:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315353

Sorry, neither of those methods worked, although that [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315353] is the error message i get.
