windows installer
After reformatting a long time ago, I'm still having system problems. For instance, my dad installed microsoft office under his name, and when I go to open word under my name, it attempts to install it. It does this for all office programs.
Next, when I try to install acrobat, iTunes, photoshop, or tivo desktop it says there is an 1607 error or that there is a problem with windows installer. The first thing I did was google the error and a few good sited came up and gave me some instructions, none of which worked. I am now in the process of chatting with dell to resolve this, but chances are you guys know more.
Lastly, under network connections, it doesn't show that any connections exist. I have tried wiring the computer via USB from the modem and through ethernet. Neither time does it show that I have a connection or let me select anything options or properties. This makes setting up the network that I will need to run Tivo desktop.
What is going on with my computer? Should I reformat it again and hope it solves the problem? Thanks. Also, I have a dimension 4550 with xp.

Check your drivers to see if there is a conflict or problem with them.

This is not a hardware problem. You should post in the XP forums.
You might want to copy your Dad's profile and delete yours. That would be the easy way to fix this.
