Hi Doofy,
Since you can't install any other apps either, it sounds like you have a serious
issue with the current state of you system which needs to be resolved...
Let's try some basic troubleshooting. If the problem still persists
please post back and we'll try some more steps. Good luck! 
1. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup
programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad
blockers using this utility: http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml
or this method: http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php
You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here:
http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php
2. Run a virus scan at: http://housecall.antivirus.com and then
install MS AntiSpyware from: www.microsoft.com/spyware to
remove any Spyware or Adware which could clog up your PC.
3. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties
/ Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run
the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.
4. Go to the Windows Update site for everything under Critical and

Jimmy, I Downloaded a trial version of Windows Live OneCare and it did not
detect any problems and I did all the steps you told me to but it is still
the same problem:
C:\DOCUME~1\DANIEL~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\b984_appcompat.txt
with the same "_appcompat.txt" at the end the whole time!
All the udates are installed and the Error supporting wizard has no info on
this error!
Please help Jimmy!
Thank you
I just want to know when is your working hours and in wich land you are eg.

Hi Doofy,
I'm in Canada. My working hours vary depending on my availability.
In case you don't know already, all of us who participate in these
newsgroups, do so in their own free time as a community contribution.
Since you're having multiple issues with the current state of your OS...
Your best solution would be to repair Windows using these instructions:
How to repair Windows XP:
Unplug from your Internet connection, and then repair Windows:
using this method: http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm
Afterwards, boot up your system, turn on your XP Internet Firewall,
plug back into your Internet connection and install all Critical and
Recommended updates from: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
