When trying to install and any software I receive a message

Error 1324. The Path My Picturs contains an invalid
character.

Does anyone know how to correct this?

Thanks

Probably.

Two things. First check the actual physical directory. Something
like
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\My Pictures\
for existence any naming conformity.

Then in the registry locate
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
\Shell Folders\
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
\User Shell Folders\

each of which should have a
"My Pictures" valuename. Note that one value is REG_SZ and one is
REG_EXPAND_SZ type. Check the data for something similar to
"C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\My Pictures"
"%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\My Pictures"

Correct any obvious errors. Suggest full registry backup prior to
any editing in the registry.

If that is not it, post back.
