the docref #:DFEE-58US3H,ERROR OX80040707.I had this error recently. none of the solutions suggested by scansoft , microsoft or install shield was the correct message. i know of at least 2 correct answers. the operating system is corrupt or the program being installed is still listed in the add/remove programs box. i know this is so because i received the same error message when trying to install dell resolution assistant. i went into the registery and removed the resolution assistant from the add/remove programs box and then installed the program. the resolution assistant had not been able to be installed not because the program was on my hard drive but because the program was still listed. as for the other reason (corrupted operating system), i had a driver for my direct memory access controller that had error code two. the suggested fix was to reinstall the driver, which was done but with the same result.....the driver is bad. this information should be made known. i spent quite some time trying to fix the error at the sites i listed previously. i am not asking for help. i am giving some good answers. please let me know if you intend to say maybe check this or attach it to your list of reasons for the error 0x80040707.thank you for you attention in this matter . i hope i was helpful.........brian osullivan
