I have the EXACT same plroblem. I'vr tried EVERYTHING, even re-installing Windows
Installer. Nothing seems to help. I try and run orktools.exe but the system then
tells me that it can't install orktools as I'm running windows in SAFE mode, WHICH
I'M NOT!!! This is driving me crazy. My system is now so slow I can hardly use it!!!
HELP!!!!!
