Try reinstalling Windows?  Even if it is apparently the same version on you
disks and the PC, you will get an option to 'upgrade'.  All your groups,
settings, etc.  will remain but this way you can be sure that all progs,
etc.  are of the same version.

I have encountered, in the past, e.g.  installing a printer driver from a
set of Windows disks, but it complaining of being the wrong version even
though as far as I knew both disks and PC were v3.11.  I assume there must
have been some clash of versions somehow (a bug fixed release of
something?).  Anyway, reinstalling always seems to do the trick for me.

Hope this helps,
