Cognos Install-Macros won't work

After installing this version on a new XP Pro box, macros will not work (error 1003) and most objects are not in object store. Nothing unusual occurred during the install. Is there a second disk for the install? Problem with XP? BTW, we constantly have this problem, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Importing objects to the registry, permissions, configuring data sources, endless tweaking, fiddling, crossing fingers, etc. have seemed to eventually resolve the problem. However, on some PCs, none of them are configured like that and macros work. Any ideas what the problem could be with the install of this version?

Maybe my problem is explained in thread401-1455265 ???

Personally, I'd uninstall all the Cognos apps and re-install them after a reboot.

Already tried that. I was thinking it was some clash with MDAC and OLE?
