That is the error I'm getting, and I've done everything in every article;
however, I still get that message. I am able to install when they are
available through the automatic update, but I can't manually go to the site
and do it. I have even logged on in the administrator account, and I still
get the message. I can't download templates, games, etc. due to this. As
I've said, I have done everything short of reinstalling. Is there anything
I'm missing? Running XP Pro, with all updates.
