    Thank you so much, step 2 did the trick, a very easy simple fix after I had chased my tail all day uninstalling, installing, cleaning registry's, using Microsoft Fix it 20052, trying anything I could find on Google, even contacting Microsoft direct, no help there, Dam I wish I had found your post first!!
