Hi,
I have an unusual problem. To me, anyway. I cannot access Excel the way I
usually did. I click the Excel icon (either the icon from a file I saved
or using the icon on the list in the "All Account" list.) The computer then
tries to install Excel. Since I do not have the Office Professional disc
in the drive, a message appears asking me to put in the disk. I did not
delete Excel so I looked around and found an Excel icon in the Office folder.
Fortunately, I can bring up Excel using that icon. However, when I made a
shorcut of that icon and put it on the desktop, I get the same attempt to
install Excel-along with Excel loading.
The only unusual thing I did was to download Microsoft Service Pack 3 I
went to the Microsoft web page and downloaded updates there. That may have
been a mistake as it appears to have downloaded an update for Office 2003. I
have version 2002. When I tried to install the pack, I got a message
indicating Office XP Service Pack 3 did not install. I still have the icon
on the Taskbar indicating a Microsoft update.
How I do I get Excel working right again? And get rid of the update and
the icon.
Thanks
