Joe..no..it isn't in add/remove, basically, I go thru all the steps, validation etc..then it hangs..and hangs..and I have to CAD out of it. It installed in minutes on my other 3 pc's, including my old 733mhz Micron. Go figga. The only thing on my HD that I could find was the install log, which I believe I've deleted, not sure tho. Do you think it could be having McAfee on my pc that's doing it? I know it runs even if you shut it down from the sys tray. Although..now that I think of it..my other new pc, has McAfee and it installed fine there..so..guess not. I HAVE tried every type of google search, MS search to find answers but none helped or applied to my problem. Jackie In a message dated 2/2/2007 12:23:47 P.M.

Is IE7.0 showing in Add/Remove when you check "Show Updates"? If you gets the dregs out and the registry cleaned up it may install. I installed IE7.0 when it hit the street and haven't looked back. The security is a little stiff but that can be changed.
