The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Windows installer starting by itelf.

Asked by ChristopherNls in Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Windows Registry Cleaners, Microsoft Windows Operating Systems

Tags: Any, Dragon Naturally Speaking, 10.0, Want to install itself again

Hi Experts:

I just installed a new program, Dragon Naturally Speaking 10.0 , (speech-to-text) a few days ago.  
Now, when I start another program, PaperPort 11.0 (from the same vendor: Nuance) Windows installer starts with "please wait while Windows Installer configures Dragon Naturally Speaking."  Its already configured, stupid!  I haven't let it complete, and I always have difficulty closing it through Task Manager.

I have occasionally seen this happen with other programs as well.  I'd rather not uninstall\reinstall DNS, as I had some trouble installing it the first time: 3 times an error message from WinVerifyTrust said that a certain .cab file was corrupt, or didn't have the correct signature  or some such.  

When that happened, the DNS install halted an rolled back.

The 4th time was the charm, as DNS 10.0 installed without argument from WinVerifyTrust, (no error message) and went on to work perfectly.

I use a registry cleaner, JV-Power Tools, and wonder if perhaps it removed a piece of something it shouldn't have.  I make backups of what was removed, but don't look forward to reading through dozens of them without even knowing for sure what I am looking for.

 System: Toshiba Satellite A65, Windows XP Pro, 1.4 gig RAM, system well-maintained by me, Antispyware, AV, Zone Alarm, regular defrag, registry cleaning, yada yada.


Thanks in advance for all your help.
