Critical Error -- Please Help! Office 2003

[Alan Whitehouse]

Hi,

I had Office 2003 working and something went wrong -- I don't know. If I
start Word, Excel, Access, Outlook I get the following error and the program
shuts down:

****
Microsoft Excel (or Word or Outlook) has not been installed for the current
user. Please run setup to install the application.
****

In addition, when I start Word I get the following additional error prior to
the one above:

****
The function you are attempting to run contains macros or content that
requires macro language support. When this software was installed, you (or
your administrator) chose not to install support for macros or controls.
****

I did a search on Microsoft KB but what they suggested did not work. Here
is what I have tried so far.

1. For my current local user, uninstall Office and reinstall.

2. Login as local machine administrator and uninstall Office and reinstall.

3. As local user, uninstall Office, delete the Office 11 registry key and
delete the Office folder under Program Files and reinstall.

Every thing is the same. The real strange thing is that Office works for
the Administrator or if I log in as me but logging into the computer and not
our office domain.

I need HELP!!!! Without Office I am dead in the water.

Alan

Try the following:
Renamed the file opa11.dat to opa11.old

it is under C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\OFFICE\DATA

This is caused by corruption in the original trial edition that was
installed and
then expired.

Once we renamed the file, we were prompted to convert the trial to full,
and then
had to re-activate.

Once it was re-activated, everything worked fine.

Also, if you have the Evidence Terminator utility, turn it off.
