I guess I should have specified that I am working from my
own computer, I am not working on a network. I tried the
DIABLE NETWORKPROTOCOLS=0, no help I'm afraid. I'm not
at all sure that the Microsoft Article is relevant. If
it helps any, I installed the first time from the Office
XP CD, and after that using the file from the website,
not the upgrade. I don't think that this is the problem,
as it worked the first time I installed from the website
file. It only started noy working when I uninstalled and
reinstalled the website file.
