Error 1919 - trying to install Office XP on my HP Pavilion 7955

[Edith]

Help! I could not complete the installation of Micro
Office XP because it came up with an error 1919 and a
component not found in the registry and visual Fox Pro
Database. Can anyone help me? I found info on this error
but it really looks complicated!
Thanks -

Hi, Edith,

Are these the instructions you found?

324520 - OFFXP: "Error 1919. Error Configuring ODBC Data Source" Error
Message When You Try to Install Office XP or an Office XP Program:

If so, you'll want to try those steps, or find someone who can do it for
you, if you're not comfortable.

To narrow down the information in the article, are you on a network? If
not, Method 2 is not an option. Within Method 1, there are two options:
one for retail (off-the-shelf) operating system, and one for OEM
(pre-installed) operating system. How was your operating system installed?
