The ultimate answer was to install the latest Microsoft Installer Version 4.5
This fixed all the problems. What still is not clear to me is how the
earlier installer
presumably 3.1 failed so horribly.
There was no adware. SidebySide is in fact I believe a compatibility program
that helps
AMD 64 bit Athlon (a highly unsupported processor from what I can tell thus
far)
Intel should have little concern. Its like the process was blackballed.
The only security software that runs on it is Norton 2009 Internet and Ghost
By the way Zone Alarm does not support it nor does Mcafee nore does Kapersky.

I would not buy one again if given the chance its not worth the extreme
headache!
