That should help. Assuming you can find the msi log

Thanks anyway but, besides the fact that it's all Greek to me, it's working now so I don't care anymore

I was gonna call you but decided I would break it or send it back before I bothered a friend

Just as well, I spend my days searching for 1603 errors You already figured out the layman's description. Product won't install -lol

Honestly, I got lucky. But it's still not fixed - i'm just gonna live with the bug

I spent all my time on Win95 forward to Vista learning and tweaking this crap

When it told me it failed to install I was ready to take it back and tell them to fix it !!!

I've had so many things break lately I feel like I'm living in Bob Dylan's song Everything is Broken

I got an e-mail tonight that my replacement iPhone is ready for pickup
I've spent thousands on my truck
My furnace motor is on it's way out
This new PC, thanks mostly in part to MSoft and their partners, has sucked another grand out of my vacation money

Bah, I could go on but that's enough to kill the thread

Maybe you just need to buy a nice $500 laptop and don't install junk gadget apps? I don't know what MS mouse and keyboard is, but it sounds like it's related to Microsoft Bob and should not get installed on a computer -lol

I can't type on a Laptop, and really like my large monitor

I know I could have probably bought a laptop and run it on a monitor, but I still like my mouse/keyboard setup and thought why bother with one when all I'd do is add stuff to it to make it like a desktop

I don't usually install much

I've had my iPhone 5 for 18 months and the only thing on it besides factory is Google Maps

It's the program that allows you to set all your custom buttons/keys etc on your MS hardware

It used to be separated with Intelli-Point and Intelli-Touch
