Your Office Software might need to use some data from the original disk and if you didnt store all the data from your office disk you will have it re-insert it.

check in your start up ..\nGo to START > RUN > type in " msconfig >\nthen go to START UP it should be there to uncheck\n\nIf it still runs it is probably needs to be deleted in your registry \nThat's START > RUN > Type in "regedit > click on \nHKEY_current_USER >Software> Microsoft> Windows> Current Version>Run ...what you need to delete should be here or in\n\nHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\n>Software> Microsoft> Windows> Current Version> Run or run once

Insert the Office 2003 CD and then try installing the stuff..it would work!\n\nCurrently its trying to run the package from the installation cache of Office 2003..which is not available..hence the error!\n\nAll you need is the Office 2003 CD!

I had this and I think I went into Windows, then System 32, and selected Taskmgr and clicked on Run and that brought it back. Hope this helped.

Start > Run > MSCONFIG\n\nClick the "Startup" tab.  Be very cautious when deselecting programs; you do not want to stop something from running that you need for the system to run.

if your running windows xp:\n\nstart -> run -> "msconfig"\n\n----\nIf someone says to go to the startup folder, ignore them; the registry startup is ignored if you only look at that.

Trying searching for the same problem under Outlook 2003. Alot of times the problem is relate to something Microsoft Windows related. I have one of the original Betas of Office 2007 and when I installed the latest refresh I had a few issues. You can also try unistalling the product and reinstalling to see if that helps.\n\nAs an FYI always use the System Restore feature in Windows XP before you install a BETA version of any application software product. This way you can return to a previous state fairly easy. If you happen to have System Restore turned on, I would go to a restore point prior to installing O2k7.

Try downloading the Windows Installer Clean Up utility from this website:  http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301\n\nIt gets rid of everything associated with the program that add/remove programs misses.

When the new software needs to alter the Windows system files or configurations, it must be restarted.  If not, then it can just be run.

no, it should update itself without the need of un-installation.\n\nIf you begin experiencing problems, though, you'll need to uninstall it and re-install.\n\nI've seen issues when jumping two or three generations ahead, like going from office 97 to office 2003.  In that case, you should uninstall.  But if you're just going from office xp to office 2003, then it won't be a problem.

After you unchecked the programmes in the startup configuration utilty & rebooted, the window you saw appear stating that you have changed the start up configuration is normal.\nYou should have put a tick/check in a small box in that window which you pressed OK to, to confirm that you do not want to see that window again. Regardless of this the programmes you unticked will not start up again (unless you re-enable them by putting back the check in the future).

You've got to re-install office 2003.\n\nAnd\n\nThis is because you didn't put the CD-Key, did you?
