You will need to have UAC turned on and allow a couple of UAC prompts in order to create a folder in C:\Windows. -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ |

There is also this. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295823 This is a last resort as it will require you to reinstall all of your Office products. It is also not compatible with Office 2007. What other Office products do you have installed? -- Kerry Brown Microsoft MVP - Shell/User http://www.vistahelp.ca/phpBB2/ |
