Thank you Marty, I have a feq questions on this: - is there a difference between a user with admin rights and admin account in this respect? in my case there is only one single user on this PC and this user has admin rights. - I tried to open Msohelp.exe. doesnt open ? - I have SP 1 and 2 on 97. on XP I am still in the process of installing all upgrades. on the last 5 I have problems to download/install them. I am going through the links now thanks for your help Lembit ----- Original Message ----- From: "MartyConnelly" <martyconnelly at shaw.ca> To: "Discussion of Hardware and Software issues" <dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Saturday, July 29, 2006 7:14 PM Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Office XP new installation > The usual reason for this is not doing an install from an admin account. > At least I have avoided anything like this by doing it from Admin. > > General users do not have permissions to write to some registry keys > that are referenced by things like Msohelp.exe file. > > Don't forget to add all the Service packs in order first > 97 has 2, XP has 3. > > Maybe something here > > http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=141373 > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241141 > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290576 > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319956 > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290576 > > Lembit Soobik wrote: > >>Hi, >>I have done a new Win XP Pro install on a clean HD >>I have then installed Office 97 - only Access 97 >>then installed into a different directory OfficeXP: AccessXP, Excel, Word, >>PP, Outlook >> >>while Acc97 works, >> >>on the Office XP I get following problems: >> >>AccessXP: a window opens and tells me wait till Windows configures Office >>XP... >>then another window with a similar message and progressbar. >>then its finished and Access never shows up. >> >>on the other programs Excel, Word,.. similar windows show up but very >>short >>time only and then the application is there and can be used. >> >>I have tried with Control panel - MS office XP - change - to repair and >>also >>to do reinstall, both left me with the same result. >> >>any ideas? >> >>thanks >>Lembit >> >> >> >>_______________________________________________ >>dba-Tech mailing list >>dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com >>http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech >>Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com >> >> >> >> > > -- > Marty Connelly > Victoria, B.C. > Canada > > _______________________________________________ > dba-Tech mailing list > dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com > http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech > Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
