HI Ed,
which error message do you get?

Dear AR,
The message I get is"Windows installer service could not be accessed.This
can occur if running windows in SAFE mode or if windows installer is not
correctly installed".
I followed HELP instructions to turn off safe mode and to start windows
normaly. I then tried again to load with out success. I checked and am
running Windows Servicve Pack 1??? Could this be the problem?

Thanks,
Ed
