I actually got it working, after much grief...(I've been trying to find an answer to these issues for a few days now, on several forums - and you were the first to respond!) I created a temp user with admin privileges, and logged in. MS Office tried to install again - so I let it. I then...

I am trying to add new users to an XP Pro SP2 machine. Everytime I do, they do not have access to: Spybot-S&D, Adaware, Spywareguard & spywareblaster. Also, when I log a new user in, MS Office 2000 starts the installation routine again. All other s/w runs fine. Help! Thanks!
