I have this exact Error Message myself. I spent 3 hours on the phone Friday
night with Microsoft tech assistance, after 3 hours when I said I would just
format the drive and reinstall from scratch I was begged not to as I am not
the only person having this problem and they need to fix it. I spent another
3 hours last night on the phone and again was begged not to reinstall. I
just got off the phone with Technical assistance (I won't be spending 3
hours tonight) they are escallating this to the Development team to try to
fix. This is pitiful, I spent $400 (bought the full install when it first
came out because I wanted the deal on 2 upgrades Home Premiums for $50 each)
and I am in the twilight zone here this entire mess reminds me of
Millenium.. Right now I have a computer with no firewall, no antivirus, no
sound driver, no video driver because Microsoft wants to fix this problem, I
will give it until tomorrow night and I will reinstall from scratch I will
let the people know who are having problems if it works.. I once read that
Microsoft only builds good software every other time.. 3.11 worked fine, 95
sucked, 98 was solid, milenium sucked, xp was solid, vista is starting to
become a headache, I think Windows 7 will be great, when is that coming out?
I hope soon!
