    Thank you very much jseidel. I really don't know what fixed it but I downloaded all the fixes that were listed in that Microsoft piece and one of them did the trick.

    You are most welcome. A question: Are you running Office 2003? From my reading it seems to be an incompatibility issue with what is now a ten year old version of Office.

    Windows did not find any Office 2003 on the laptop. Thanks again.
