Thanks for the input. I really don't want to disable UAC, but I have run as
administrator and that didn't work either. I've read that disabling UAC and
then re-enabling can cause some "issues" with the registry, but I don't know
for sure and really don't want to find out first hand. I did get a response
from NVIDIA last night, but they couldn't open my Office 2007 Word document
which contained a synopsis of my system and a copy of the error box that
pops up during installation. I resent, but haven't heard anything back as
of this morning.
