I really don't Know that much about computers & somethings wrong with mine. I use a computer thats shared amongst other in the house hold, one day my mom freaked out & clamied I ruined the computer by donloadin crap, she did something to it & since then I haven't be able to install any programs, when I try it says the following....
The windows installer service can not be accessed. This can occur if you are running windows ins safe mode, or if the windows installer was not correctly installed.
Basically I'm screwed cuz theres a bunch of programs & games I wanna get, but I really don't not a whole lot about computers can anybody help?

Are you using a computer with Windows XP home edition (where you each have your own account). If you are your mom may have taken away your admin privlidges which means you can't download anything. I don't know if thats right because I have always been an admin so it's just a guess.
