Preserving Office XP Configuration on Upgrade to '03

Thanks for answering, Milly ... however, outlook.pst is not going to
preserve my email account information (servers, connections, userIDs,
passwords, etc) ... that's the kind of thing I'm trying to figure out if
Office 2003 is going to inspect, preserve and restore when it installs; I'm
also wondering if it will do the same for other preferences ... like default
document directory for Word, Excel ..

Replacement CDs for OEM MS Office XP

Posted: 02 May 2004 05:51 PM PDT

Computers have insurance. MS has a replacement policy if
you purchase the software from anyone but the
manufacturer. Point is, why pay full price for software
from a vendor, Dell et.al., when you can purchase the
same from anywhere else and receive the assurance that
your CDs can be replaced. Dell doesn't tell you that when
you purchase your software in good faith.

Error 1919 when installing Office Systems 2003 Enterprise and Fron

Posted: 02 May 2004 02:40 PM PDT

MDAC 2.8 installed fine on my SBS2003 box, but installation on my XP client gave me the roll-back problem that is described as a known issue and I should contact PSS. Should I contact PSS or MSDN, as the software I am using comes from MSDN DVDs?

Install Office 2000 on XP

Posted: 02 May 2004 10:28 AM PDT

If you Office came with yr sys, as an OEM copy then I'm afraid licence is
tied to origonal sys and is not transferable. - It may even be that the OEM
supplier has configured the install to prevent it installing on anything
other than origonal.
Or it may be simply a question of you entering the wrong key or missreading
it.

Problem with EULA popup window

Posted: 30 Apr 2004 07:58 AM PDT

Hi James,

Besides Gyorgy's suggestion, I would suggest you have a check to see
whether the new machine has other version Office installed.

In addition, please find the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0 and right-click and go to
permissions, make sure that ADMINISTRATORS and SYSTEM had full control set
to allow.

Hope it helps.

Sincerely,

Arnold Gao

Must I download Office Service Pack?

Posted: 29 Apr 2004 01:40 PM PDT

We recommend installation of service packs to ensure that your system stays
secure and to prevent crashes. Users who have opted in to Microsoft "Error
Reporting" send data to us about their crashes. We then fix the bugs which
cause crashes most often and push out these fixes in Service Packs.

need your advice on this site?

Posted: 29 Apr 2004 06:54 AM PDT

As it turns out, the list is a bit smaller for XP.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290540
There are generally three rules for upgrading to Office XP:
a.. Office 97 suites and Office 2000 suites are the only valid upgrade
products for the Office XP suites. You cannot use the Academic Edition of
Office 97 or Office 2000 as a qualifying product.
b.. Office 97 stand-alone products and Office 2000 stand-alone products
are valid upgrade products for the Office XP stand-alone products.*
c.. Office 97 suites and Office 2000 suites are valid upgrade products for
the Office XP stand-alone products only if the Office XP stand-alone product
is included in the corresponding Office 97 suite or Office 2000 suite*.

Office 2003 will not read past files?

Posted: 28 Apr 2004 08:45 AM PDT

I just upgraded a windows XP/office 2000 computer to office 2003 and now any file I try to open is now unavailable/ could not be found, is there any eplanation for this or should I take 2003 off and leave 2000 on??

Brando

I have the same problem with old Word files and get the following error when opening Excel files
The file cannot be opened because your virus scanner has detected a problem with the file. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no success

Pet

Have you tried opening each of the apps by using their icon. Do this first because a small install is run to
create the hkey current user section of the registry. then try double clicking the docs

Mik

I have tried that option, and no different still can't access my files. I do also get the same error as the post above me with the Excel documents. Then on top of it I get warning when I shut down Word that states changes have been made to the template normal and trys to make me save the changes. Even though I have not touched a key, Any one have any other ideas??????????????

First run of Office product

Posted: 28 Apr 2004 02:44 AM PDT

Baker,

Thank you very much,
will go hunt out the ork as you suggest. thanks

 
can download from the microsoft website. 
configured the way you want it, save the template then run
the office custom installation wizard to pickup the
template. this can be done from a cd or installation
point. the custom install wizard (CIW) gives you heaps of
options like dropping extra files into your install,
setting custom directories, configuring outlook, lots of
great stuff. It even saves stuff like changing macro
security (because it's default set to block, not prompt).
