    Outlook Express and others not working after doing a windows update

    So I just did a windows update on my borrowed copy of XP and now my outlook express, icq, and a bunch of other program exe files are missing. Anyone know how to solve this problem other than reformating?

              No I never did that before, I will try it after I backup everything. Think that will work?

                Maybe the update checked to see if it was a valid copy and found it was not so it disabled them.

                    Thanks, I'll do the system restore, going to let the files backup first since its good to back it up anyways. Ill let everyone know how it goes

                        My "borred copy" is giving me genuine windows popups every now and then.. I have like 5 oem copies that have come with pc's and laptops, but they're always stuck with that machine so i just download one i can use on them all.

                        Almost time to start buying OS's i guess ;)

                            Yeah, that's probably the reason why you're currently fucked.
                            I'm just a newbie.

                                  It you have automatic updates activated with Windows XP AND a bootleg copy, you will experience problems. Microsoft has gotten extremely savvy with software theft.

                                  Just pony up for a real one, though chances are you will have just as many bugs
