    Default need some help with installing a program

    im trying to install microsoft professional plus 2007, and when i get towards the end of the installation it says that it cannot open the registry key.

    i did a system restore to a few weeks ago because i have put a few new programs on my laptop. is there anyway i can get this installed without having to do a complete clean a restart of my laptop.

    any help is apprecaited.

    exactly what it tells me...

    error 1402. setup cannot open the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\microsoft\internet explorer\main\featurecontrol\FEATURE_RESTRICT_ACTI VEXINSTALL.

    i guess right now i need a way to use my system restore to take my laptop back to day 1, but it wont let me restore past about a month.

    is there a way to use the disk cleanup to help my situation?

    Take it back to day one? Use a restore disc.

    If it can't open it, that might mean it isn't there in the first place, so try creating the key in your registry.
