Help getting ANY software on PC to work

[cristo]

I'm using an emachines with XP 2002, celeron processor.  For sometime now I have been having trouble getting any software working that I have installed on the PC.  Everything seems to install correctly, but get error message or nothing when you try to start the program.  In this case trying to install TaxCut and I get the following:  "TaxCut has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience"

Any ideas??  Thanks!

Does it give you any more info on what the error is?

Try System Restore first.
