Thx Profesa ... I am at lease getting better info that way but still failed. The error message upon installing is:<br />
<br />
&quot;Error 1402. Setup cannot open the Registry Key<br />
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwar<wbr />e\Classes\<wbr />giffile\sh<wbr />ell\Open\d<wbr />deexec.<br />
Verify that you have sufficient permissions ...&quot;<br />
<br />
I did try it after booting clean (disabling start-up INI's &amp;&nbsp;Services using MSCONFIG) and got the same error.<br />
Also, I am logged in as an Administrator.<br />
<br />
Any ideas? &nbsp;The thought of reinstalling Office crossed my mind ... if that would fix it ... but I don't want to give up to soon ... especially if it in fact a permissions issue ...<br />
