Larry & Dave, I tried to install it from the internet, and I was getting the same problem, hence I resorted to installing it locally, to see if there would be a difference. Thanks for your suggestions abt permissions (I tried that but permissions seem to be ok), I will keep trying. Let me know if you come up with any other ideas.
