Trying to install MSE on my old XP computer that I use now mostly for gaming. OS is XP SP3 with all updates. I recently removed ZoneAlarm Pro and now use XP's builtin firewall. Today, I uninstalled AVG Free 2011 using AVG's removal utility. Then I downloaded the XP version of MSE from the Microsoft download center and tried to install. Install started, but then failed with error code 0x80070645. Rebooted PC and tried again, same result. I've looked for any leftover files from Zone Alarm and AVG but haven't found any. CHecked running services and do not see any that look related to Zone Alarm or AVG either. I think I tried MSE on this machine a couple years ago and gave up and went back to AVG. But AVG slows things down. MSE has worked well for me on my other computers, would like to get it running on this one. Any suggestions are appreciated.
