error performing inpage operation

[k9carts]

Hi,
Tried to install Acrobat 6.0 today to my laptop (Win XP
SP 1). I currently had Acrobat 5.0 running okay. The
installation gave 2 errors after the install wizard
screen in the windows installer screen:
1. "unexpected termination"

2. "the I/O operation has aborted because of either a
thread exit or application request"

I spoke to Adobe and they felt that there was a problem
with the windows installer. In the process, now all my
shortcuts (e.g., start>Programs>program name) to windows
office xp pro (excel, word, powerpoint, frontpage) give
me the error:
"Error performing in page operation"

I am running up-to-date Norton anti-virus, so I am hoping
that this is not a virus. Did have automatic updates
want to install something new to messenger which I don't
use. This installation initially failed as well.

Is my Windows XP broken? Can anyone suggest a fix?

Well this is an old message. Unforunately there seems to be no reply t
it either. I'm having the same problems with installing mcAfee 7 on m
Window 98 machine.
This problem isn't mentioned at all at Microsoft.com.
Is there anyone with a solution?
