Installation ended prematurely Posted: 03 Jun 2004 01:48 PM PDT Hi Brett, Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 230895 OFF2000: "Installation Ended Prematurely Because of an Error" When You Run Office Setup http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;230895 WORKAROUND To work around this problem, do either of the following: Method 1: Run Setup from a Network Server If you are in a networked environment and you have access to an administrative installation of Office 2000, run Setup from this location instead of your CD-ROM drive. The security settings mentioned in the "Cause" section of this article do not affect running Setup from a network server. Method 2: Turn Off the "Restrict CD-ROM Access to Locally Logged on User Only" Security Option If you turn off the Restrict CD-ROM access to locally logged on user only security option, you can run Setup from your CD-ROM drive. Please see the documentation on the Microsoft Security Configuration Manager for more information about modifying this setting. NOTE: You may have to restart after you turn off the Restrict CD-ROM access to locally logged on user only security option before you can run Setup from your CD-ROM drive. For more information about the Microsoft Security Configuration Manager, visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/security/techdetails/prodarch/securconfig. asp For additional information about the AllocateCDRoms registry setting, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 172520 Access Denied Error When Trying to Access a Shared CD-ROM 221524 FIX: Cannot Install Applications from Media When 'AllocateCDRom or AllocateFloppies' Reg Values Are Set Please let me know has this helped You...

Lost MS office activation key Posted: 03 Jun 2004 09:41 AM PDT Just for interest sake how long have you been using computers? Also, are you asking a question regarding Product Serial Number for Windows XP or MS Office XP? If it is the Windows XP serial number you are after then this should be stuck at the back of your PC case where you connect all the cables. The factory installed version of Windows XP will have a different serial number to that of your actual PC because Dell is authorised to roll out standard configured systems using standard serial number assigned to Dell worldwide. If it is the serial number of your Office XP then this should be on the CD jewel case or CD cover depending on how this came with your system. You have to understand that Dell is shipping out millions of systems every year some with only Windows XP and some with additional software such as yours. It is difficult for them to standardise a system to supply you for the lifetime of your PC. After all they are running a business of selling PCs. Is it still under DELL's warranty of 1 year (perhaps more if you paid for the extension)? For the future, you need to organise yourself so that these things don't get lost. Have you got lot of clutter in your house to make it difficult for you to store important CDs (and manuals!) safely? Perhaps you may need to make copies of original CDs and keep them besides your computer (in your safe house) as these are invariably required when you install Service Packs and critical patches. hth net wrote: |

Where should I install Office 2003 Posted: 02 Jun 2004 12:18 PM PDT You can place the installation anywhere you wish but be advised that there are several MB of files that will need to go to your boot partition. Installing to a second partition/hard drive may be a good idea for space saving, but if you need to reinstall your OS, you will need to reinstall Office anyway since the boot partition has essential system files. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

Getting New Computer Posted: 02 Jun 2004 10:05 AM PDT You can have it installed on one desktop and one laptop. If you replace the laptop, then uninstall it from the original one. If you replace the desktop, then uninstall it from the original one. As long as you are removing it from the old machine, and it is only installed on one desktop and one laptop, you are in compliance (as long as that is the agreement you agreed to in your end user license agreement provided with the software you are installing). -- Susan Ramlet MVP - Microsoft Office ---------------------------------------------- Please post replies to the newsgroup where all may benefit. <microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1763201c448e4$598ddff0$gbl... |

Event notification? Posted: 01 Jun 2004 03:46 AM PDT Thats correct, it has to be run minimised. There are some addons/apps that state that they can minimise OL/OE to the task bar.

Problem with Setup Posted: 31 May 2004 08:13 AM PDT Hi, Rob, When you insert the installation disc, it should display a series of screens that ask you if you want to install Office, and how. You can use these screens to customize how it's installed, if you so choose. The default, I believe, would remove all previous versions of Office. So if you make no choices and just blow through the installation screens (which most of us do), that's likely to be the default behavior. Read each of the installation screens that come up while you're installing, and try overriding the default of removing all previous versions of Office. If you use the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility to remove registry entries related to the installation state of Office 2000, it is possible that Office 2000 will no longer function properly. However, your upgrade will no longer recognize that Office 2000 is there, and the Windows Installer will no longer request installation media (because it won't "see" Office 2000 any longer). Microsoft have learned what a pain this is, and current versions of Office have mitigated the requirement for original media. This requirement still exists for Office 2000. However, they have recently released a patch for Office 2000 that may eliminate the need for original installation media; you could try installing it. Your Office 2000 needs to be at the SR-1 level to use this patch, but it might be an option for you. The details are covered in http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;835220 which provides links to the downloads. You could install it, then try your upgrade again. -- Susan Ramlet MVP - Microsoft Office ---------------------------------------------- Please post replies to the newsgroup where all may benefit.
