Microsoft needs to address this issue with something other than the KB crap.
I administer a school computer system with over 200 computers, every one of
them has XP with Office 2003, and every one of them has just started doing
this error over the past month or two as I went around logging on as admin
and letting the updates run (last time I do that again!). Also, each student
has their own account that floats on the domain from computer to computer and
I certainly am not going to do this for every user. Apparently MS caused this
problem with one of these last updates, so MS needs to fix this problem with
some other update - not having me uninstall every installation, modify the
registry, then reinstall. Not to mention, our latest 2 mobile labs came with
Office 2003 pre-installed with the Dell system disks, and no separate
installation disks without doing a total restore. This is NOT AN OPTION for
us. We are getting ready to purchase a new set of computers, and Apple Macs
are looking very good to me right about now. PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM IN SOME
SANE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a user to user support group, all volunteer responses and user
opinions. If you want to communicate with Microsoft directly, this isn't
the place. Please try again in the proper venue, or rephrase the
question remembering who you are addressing.

Found a fix for that problem... if you require it send me an email at
peterrink******.com and i will email you the file.
Cheers
Iggy

In my previous post under my email address i stated that i had a fix
which i do..

i will also tell you how i did it, and it follows:

Just remember that i am running windows XP machine with Office 2003.

The way that I fixed it was to create a temp user account with admin
privliages and then open all the office apps in that account.

Once I had done that I just exported the office key under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER and then logged off

Then logged onto the other account and imported the reg key and it
seemed to work for me.. give it a shot what have you got to loose.

If this fix works for you please let me know…
Cheers
Peter

I just tried Iggies post, and I have to tell everyone that it worked
like a charm. So far this is the only post that actually WORKS, even
the MS doesnt do anything, at least for me it didnt. If you are still
having problems, go ahead and try Iggies post, it should work for you
as well.

If you have any questions, I would be glad to help you out, just email
me at Gadow21********.com. Thanks again IGGY!!!
