[AccessD] Question re new install of Office 2003 pro

Just my personal opinion, but I've found that the only reliably way to
fix this kind of thing is with registry hacks.  Maybe someone else has
had a different experience.

Subject: [AccessD] Question re new install of Office 2003 pro

Group,

I recently upgraded to a new Dell computer with Windows XP Pro, and
Office
2003 Pro.  All is good except that when I open Excell or the Access
Visual Basic Editor a dialog appears to try and install some file from
the Dell utility installation disk.  I should add that I purchased the
computer bare since we subscribe to the Empower program and have the
operating systems and office software.

I went through the put the Dell utility disk in once and it did
something, but the next time I opened Excel or the VBE the dialog
appeared again.  If I cancel the dialog Excel, or the VBE opens with no
problem.

I looked on the MS Knowledge base and there is a description of a
similar problem with the dialog asking for the office install disk.  The
resolution was to make some registry changes.  I am wondering if anyone
else has had this problem and if there is a better way to fix it than
hacking the registry.

Thanks in advance

Doug
