All of a sudden, I can not run any of my office 2003 applications.
When I try to run Word, Publisher, Excel or Powerpoint, I get the
following error:

"MS [office application Name] cannot install the necessary files due
to windows installer error 1634... Component not used on this
computer"

Since last successfully using Office on this computer, I have not
installed any programs, updated any programs or exposed the computer
to any of the Black Tuesday stuff.

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance........

Stan

I forgot to mention that I did run Office Repair from the office
installation disk which did not fix the problem.

Regards,

Have you tried running a Repair? ...uninstalling Office 2003 and then
reinstalling it?

Is the machine fully patched at both Windows Update and Office Update?

Here's the only somewhat worthwhile reference to the error message that I
could find:
