Thank you Ronnie. I tried it an got an error:

"The module vbscript.dll was loaded but the call to DLLRegisterServer failed
with error 0x80004005

For more information about the problem search online using the error code as
a search item.

I did a bit of search. I want to mention that I am an MSDN Pro subscriber
and I get my product keys from a MS website. I get DVDs from them via US
mail. I am saying all this since some of the "literature" on the subject of
this mysterious error which appears to be vast mention pirating software,
etc. I do not think my systems have anything to do with it

http://forums.microsoft.com/Genuine/...5005&SiteID=25

I am wondering if you would suggest the next step?

Thanks, - A.
