Error in Reinstalling SP3

[Guest pestocat]

I installed SP3 with no problem, however I had an unrelated issue using

msconfig and one of the steps to correct was to uninstall SP3. Now I can't

re-install SP3 without errors. I get an error " The requested lookup key was

not found in active activation context". Any idea on how I can fix the

problem.

Thank you

Perform system restore to the point before problem occured or before

installing SP3.

Re: Error in Reinstalling SP3

 

There is some commentary on the web on this error message (google on the

entire text) which suggests a relationship with IE7. You might want to

uninstall SP3 and then rollback to IE6, reboot and install SP3 before

reinstalling IE7. But take a look at commentary on various forums by doing

the search.

Windmap,

Your suggestion worked. Everything is working.

I went to the earlierist restore point, pressed the button and it worked.
