[Openvpn-users] Can't install Tap-32

I've had my lists turned off for a while so hopefully I'm not re-asking a question that has already been answered.
 
I have a service tech (and his Dell Laptop) with XP SP2 and it WAS running OpenVPN when it left the building a month ago.
 
Now he can't connect.  So, a little investigation and it turns out the TAP-32 won't work.  I uninstalled OpenVPN completely and reinstalled.  During install I get a message in the install log that the TAP32install.exe returned a "2" (failed).  This happens AFTER the window pops up about unsigned drivers which I say OK to.
 
I went to DOS and uninstalled and re-installed the TAP device hoping that I would get more info in the DOS box.  It creates the device, pops up the window about unsigned drivers, and then it fails.  The only message is that install.exe failed.
 
It is running on all of our other laptops just fine.  Most are running XP SP2.
 
Firewall(s) are OFF, anti-virus is OFF, Pest Patrol is OFF.  The user is an administrator (although I tried it logged in as ADMINISTRATOR and failed too).
 
If anybody wants more info, just ask.
 
Oh -- I even tried the WINSOCK fix program just in case.  No help.
