Got the error message when installing MS Office XP, and again later when
I tried to run Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0. The Adobe support site is
where the instructions for uninstalling SP2 were given.
As it turns out, I found the cause and solution to the problem. The
cause is Corel Word Perfect 10 Office Suite. I installed it, then
uninstalled it. This caused the ODBC registry entried to be deleted and
replaced with useless ones. The solution was to copy the registry
entries from a "good" system and update the registry. This worked
great. There is also another solution on the Corel support site:
run odbcconf /f odbcconf.rsp from ..Windows\system32.
Thanks for your response.
