Unable to record macro in Excel 97 under Windows XP

We are running Widows XP Professional and Office 97 (don't laugh, the business can't spend the money to upgrade office).

Our issue is that if we try to record a new macro in Excel, we get an error stating "Unable to Record".

Any thoughts? We have given the local Users group Modify permissions to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office", "C:\Windows", and "C:\Program Files\Common Files" all to no avail. I suspect that maybe there is a registry key that the User group needs permission to, but it has eluded me thus far.

Any help would be appreciated.
Michael
