Thank you Shane - I don't know how many forums I visited before stumbling on yours, but they all had one thing in common - no fix for 80070026. I did run your all in one windows repair tool , but the obvious repair was the one you directed me to (which incidentally even Microsoft didn't do yet) - a repair reinstall. Awesome - I will tell everyone about your help , use your programs for tweaking and repair , and I have liked your page on Facebook.
