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.

Do you have the Windows CD ? If so, put it in the CD and run this command sfc /scannow
It basically checks for windows files. See if it gets you to somewhere.
Cheers,
