alright, i'm running windows xp and using office xp professional with frontpage. I'm not sure if this info will help, but I also reinstalled xp over a previous installation, but it was a clean installation without removing previous apps. Hope you can help me out. Thanks

Having the same problem with a number of users, did you ever determine the cause?
I'm no whizz kid but I've struck this before on W2k installs when I've logged on as another user ( admin ) after installing Office 2000 on new laptops. OS seesm to see this as a new install and tries to complete for that user, ie in another user environment. Seems to come from the restart after install of the App.
Hope this sheds a clue on the situation.
