Since the day I upgraded my PC to a Windows Vista Ultimate PC few issues were always on with my system. During the installation of Vista itself, I faced my first Genuine® Windows Error Messages – one that I don’t remember now.

Anyhow, my Vista experience wasn’t bad. I enjoyed the migration to Vista more than my migration to Windows XP. And so it went on. In the past seven months, I installed a horde of softwares, tools, games, what else and what not; uninstalled the ones I didn’t use much or the ones that were there for hobbies sake everytime I ran short of HDD space. So that’s that. Somehow, a few problems became a fixture. These were:

1. Internet Explorer 7 used to crash the moment it was launched.
2. Nero 7 Trial never progressed after the “Ask Toolbar” selection.
3. I could not burn DVDs. No matter what tool I used, I would get some error.

To add to this, yesterday morning my Adobe CS3 Design Premium license failed. The software asked me to reinstall the product or contact my IT Administrator. Frustrated, I uninstalled my CS3 installation and attempted a reinstall on which I was requested by CS3 to insert the CS3 Media in the drive, which was already there. And now I was scared that I am in for some mighty trouble, involving a lot of my time.

Anyhow, it had to be solved.

So I started with my research, fired up FireFox did some Google search and came up with references of two tools – the MSI Installation Database Clean Up Utility (msiccu.exe) from Microsoft and the CS3Clean.exe utility from Adobe.

Installed the MSI clean up utility and ran it. Boy! I was amazed. So many applications I had already uninstalled were still listed there. I selected them all and uninstalled them. Next ran the CS3Clean.exe with the option 4 selected a couple of times and voila! my CS3 setup was good to go!

Spent 4 hrs in total and solved the CS3 issue. Also, my Internet Browser works wonders now (not that I use it, yet). I could not install Nero 7 but I have installed the Nero 8 Trial. Bah! I need moneh!

Somehow, I cant burn DVDs yet… No possible error – maybe its time to restart my system :D

Oops I almost forgot to do that. Sure, I should do it now. He He… But the MSICCU tool is recommended to every windows user… geez.. you’ll be shocked, if you’ve been using your system for a long time.

Also, my system is working far faster than it was working earlier…

And this is just In:

I volunteered for a responsibility at college and took the help of about 10 friends in the industry working in HR profiles to complete a document layout. Finally the college students utilizing the extra-ordinary “beliefs” of students from the senior batch and some 2-3 years work experience holding students from the junior batch have completely redrawn the aforementioned document. So much for having professionals with about 7-10 years of industry experience. What scares me is – I forced these people to compromise with their important business schedules to help me, now if they genuinely enquire about how their efforts have helped me, what do I tell them?

Anyhow, these are just my woes from a non-existent meritocracy, and there is no dearth of people cribbing against the system (like minded people :D).

Could you make out what the post heading was all about?

I need help.
