I have tried several fixes but I can't get any software to install that uses
windows installer, it just closes up. Now I get this error when I try to
start the installer: Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or
control request in a timely fashion.

Not even sure if that will help installing my programs because it was
running and I still couldn;t install programs.

I need help fast becasue I just had to replace my hard drive so now I'm in
the process of installing programs that weren't backed up and I have 4
partitions to do.

Thanks
