Dell System OptiPlex GX260 Series
Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 2.26 GHz, 512MB RAM
MS Windows XP Professional Version 2002, SP3
Just finished working with tech from Malware removal forum, machine appears to be clean. However, when I attempt to install AVG I get error message about old version of Roxio Easy CD Creator (5). Tried to remove it via Add/Remove programs -- get the Installer error.
<> Downloaded Windows Installer Clean Up Utility - get Installer Service cannot be accessed error message.
<> Downloaded Windows Installer 4.1 -- says it's successful, but isn't listed in Add/Remove programs
<> Loaded SP3 (thinking that might include Windows Installer - still not listed).
<> Retried Windows Installer Clean Up Utility again - get same error message.
AVG install log (this is not the full log) but it lists the following:
Computer operating system: WNT:5.1/2600,WinNT (Windows XP) Service Pack 3
Local machine: installation failed
Installation:
Error: Action failed for registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows: creating registry key....
Error 0x80070005
Suggestions? I'm a little confused by the Windows NT vs Windows XP information. (This PC was originally configured by UC San Diego techs -- did they use "network version" of XP? or it really doesn't make any difference?)
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide. Happy New Year!
