Update:

I went into Windows Event Viewer (Settings -- Control Panel -- Adminstrative Tools -- Computer Management - Event Viewer -- Application).

Within the Event Viewer there are dozens of Warnings and Information entries all pointing to Visio 2003. The Properties of the Information entries all state Visio failed to install.

Tried to remove Visio via Add/Remove programs and removal failed.

Used Hijackthis to remove Visio from the Add/Remove program list (nice tool).

A gent on the XP Forum advised ot remove Visio from the Installer using the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility. Did that and all seems good.

Rebooted system and all applications seem to run a-okay.

Thank you all very much!

Best regards.
