Blank screen \page when i open MS project already created

[entry person]

I have been using MS project standard 2003. I have also created some
..mpp files using this ms project 2003. But suddendly it stopped working
for the last two weeks

I re registed regsvr32 c:\windows\srchasst\srchui.dll and regsvr32
c:\windows\system32\jscript.dll but i cud not resolve the issue

Its a stand alone application and i am no way connected to MS Project
server

When I open I am getting small white box with red multiplication mark
inside at the extreme left side

I uninstalled and installed Ms project and this is error i am getting
for all the .mpp files

MTK,

Guaranteed...it is a "MS Project running on WinXP" issue, not a Project
specific issue.

All the items I can find pertaining to this problem, reference people
running Project 2003. However, I am using Project 2002 Pro SP1 and am
experiencing the exact same problem.

I have had Project 2002 Pro SP1 installed on my WinXP SP2 desktop for more
than a year...never had a problem. However, about 2 weeks ago, I went to
Windows Update and installed all the XP and Office related patches it said I
needed. At the time, I really didn't think anything about it. However, the
next day, I tried to use Project...and I got the same results you did, but I
still didn't put two and two together.

I wiped my laptop, reinstalled all my software, installed SAV and Project
2002 and went to Windows Update to finish up. Same resolution to the
problem, with a completely clean and updated workstation.

I reregistered srchui.dll and jscript.dll but it did not fix the issue. I
applied the ProjectServer 2002 SP1 patch and the SQL patch...nothing. I
tried opening a project while connected to the server and while
disconnected...local .mpp files and published...nothing. FINALLY today, it
occured to me to try this on a Win2k SP4 machine. I installed Project 2002,
set the connections for the server, restarted the application and VOILA! Lo
and behold...the project showed up just fine.

So...can someone identify WHICH patch I installed from MS that hosed my
Project 2002 installation?

TIA,

~The Captain!
