Share File in Windows XP over Network
To make it possible, you must first open the folder's properties (ger. Eigenschaften). Here you open the slide (ger. Reiter) Sharing (ger. Freigabe) and click the radio button "Share this folder" (ger. Diesen Ordner Freigeben). The next step is to give permissions. If you don't give permissions the user can see the shared file but cannot open it. So you click the slide Securities (ger. Sicherheit) and click the button add (ger. Hinzufügen). In the text field you give the IP adress of the user, who should have access. Eventually you can give the user e.g. admin rights and click OK. Now the system should have access to the folder which is in your PC.

Windows XP Installer Problem
I am running Windows XP Home Edition on my computer. After I installed the operating system, it works properly and without problems.
Every now and then, sometimes after 2 weeks, sometimes after 3 months, my Windows XP Installer gets damaged. Unfortunatly I can't make out the reason. I already tried to set the system back to a system restore point but it didn't work. By meaning the Windows XP Installer gets damaged i mean, if I try to install programs with the Windows-Installers the message: "Windows Installer service could not be accessed. Contact your support personnel to verify that it is properly registered and enabled" occurs.
This occurs for each programm i try to install, which are using the Windows Installer, every other program with own install routine works fine.
Unfortunatly a restart of the computer as well as redownloading the installer file does not work.
I would be glad to get a working Windows Installer or an other way to install programs using the Windows Installer without reinstalling my operating system every time.
