If restore to a previous time does not work, check your version of IE. I
have found some older programs do not work on the newest Internet Explorer.

Subject: [PCSOFT] can not run program
Diet Pro
I have a Dell 3000 with XP that I have been running Diet Pro on for over a
year with no problems,.I have AVG and Zone Alarm programs enabled. About a
month ago I upgraded one of my online utilities I can't remember which
one. Shortly after I went to log onto my Diet Pro and it would not open. I
tried opening from the start menu with no luck and even the folder in My
computer programs, nothing, Finally I tried uninstalling from the Diet Pro
disc only to get a. 1606 error Could not access network location
%userprofile%Recent
Then I tried reinstalling the program and got a 1607 error Unable to install
Install Shield scripting runtime
Then began the long process of trying the recommendations of Support to
install Msciexec.exe from the Knowledge base KB0007, then Q108340 followed
by Q108158 going in to the registry and making changes all to no avail. The
one thing I found was that nearly all the corrections were for Microsoft
program installers. Others were only noted as program specific, which means
"Good Luck!":
So here I am with a program on my machine that does not run and I can not
remove. I am toying with the unhappy choice of formating the hard drive and
starting over again using Dells restore program as they do not ship the
installation discs anymore. Which also has some dire warnings like the meds
they try to sell you on TV where the cure is more dangerous than the
condition That is unless I am missing something, any suggestions?
