Error 1606

[Guest paoloricardo@gmail.com]

I keep getting the dreaded "Error 1606 Could not access network

location :." (sic)

 

I've tried all the fixes i.e. deleting registry refs to Office 8.0 and

9.0, checking User Shell Folders and Common Administrative Tasks but

none works.

 

Also I've no idea what location ":." refers to.

 

Apart from disabling Windows Installer (to stop it popping up

randomly) I cannot update my Adobe Reader software.

 

Any miracle workers out there?

 

Thanks
