OK guys, I've done it all and still get the error message. I also went to the SQL forum recommended by Rock and posted this message:

I have the exact same problem running Windows XP Pro/SP2, and would like to fix it. Surly someone here must know how to do it. Here's what I've done so far w/ no help:

--I ran eusing registry cleaner and "fixed" 707 problems
--I ran msconfig and could find nothing like SQLDUMPER in the Startup lines to uncheck
--Then I ran sfc /scannow followed by Disk CleanUp w/ no change

A couple other things: 1. The problem started after I uninstalled Microsoft Accounting 2007, a new program that I do not even know when or why I downloaded to my computer. It may be purely coincidental, but that is when it started. I'd go back to a Restore Point, but I don't know when installed the software. 2. The error message ends w/ this "...Please uninstall then re-run setup to correct this problem." The problem is I do not know what to uninstall or what setup to re-run.

Registry cleaners are dangerous in unskilled hands and in any case would not help with your error. You need to either contact Microsoft Accounting 2007 tech support - and this could not have magically installed by itself, you must have installed it with something - perhaps an MS Office 2007 trial - or do a System Restore.

You will be able to tell which System Restore point to restore to be looking at them. When you highlight the dates in bold on the System Restore calendar on the left, look on the right panel. This will say what happened. If you are fortunate, you'll see an entry made just before you installed MS Accounting. That's the restore point you want. If you are unfortunate and can't find such an entry, then surely you remember roughly when you installed this new program. Pick a date before that with the understanding that going back more than a few weeks isn't a good idea.

I also doubt that you would see an entry in msconfig for SQLDUMPER since this is only produced when there is an error in whatever is using SQL. You should be looking for something Office-related that is set to start with Windows.

You might also see if there is a SQL service running and temporarily disable it. This is only useful and safe if you have no other programs using SQL. If you are a home user, you probably don't. To do this:

Start>Run>services.msc [enter]

Scroll down until you see the correct SQL entry, double-click it, stop the service and set it to disabled.
