"I search[ed] for
http://support.microsoft.com but that is telling only how
to
fix this office 2003 problem with XP and office 2000.
What error did you search out since you haven't told us what it is
preventing us from searching it out?
Pray tell what is "this Office 2003 problem" that you have left undescribed?
If that's all the info you're getting I'd run Detect and Repair. MSFT has a
lot of stupid errors that say they don't know how to solve the problem at
this time and most of them won't be solved when Bill Gates is a great
grandfather. They have been pulling that crap with error messages in event
viewer when you click the links for 25 years. They also frequently compose
their metastatic, ectopic logs flung to the four corners of the Windows OS
in HEX which can't be metabolized and interpreted without special tools and
traning.
1) The question wasn't stupid. It was however without any detail and having
fixed a lot of Office component problems, many of them depend on a detailed
description of the error you failed to give and didn't take the 3 clicks to
Event Viewer (have you ever gone there to try to retrieve specific messages
which are often there?) to try to give a specific error so you could get
decent help from us.
3) Of course they are in the wrong place but if you had given a specific
error message I would have tried to help and always do.
4) Did you try detect and repair which is one mechanism present in both
Office XP and Office 2003 to fix problems like the non-specific one you
mentioned, i.e. Excel won't open (but not without the specific error you're
getting that you may not have seen because you didn't go to Event Viewer)?
5) What happened when you ran Detect and Repair?
6) What did they say on the Excel group to your nebulous post?
