office 2003 student and teacher

I installed office 2003 student and teacher in two computers. That caused
both computers to freeze. When I opened the Internet browser, I could go to
one or two sites, then everything was frozen. Could not do anything, not even
shut the computer the normal way, I could not open task manager or anything
else. I uninstalled office 2003, and everything is ok now. Does anybody knows
what happened?

Same symptoms on both PCs? That's really weird. Where did you purchase
Office S&T? Does the Office application otherwise function normally? Is IE
the only problem? What kind of PCs are these (make, model, specifications,
etc.)? What kind of internet connection (dial-up, broadband)?

Hi,

I have been having the exact same issue on my Dell laptop. It was
running smoothly for 10 months with Office 2003 TS Edition preinstalled
from the Dell factory, but then I had to do a complete XP reinstall due
to an issue with my cd-rom drive not being recognized. After
reinstalling the system, I reinstalled Office 2003 and the system began
to freeze. I could not even open the task manager. At first I thought it
was Mcaffee causing problems so I uninstlled it. But the problem kept
occurring. I reinstalled yet again another fresh XP system and
reinstalled Office as well. I opened Word and it locked up. I tried
uninstalling and reinstalling Office four or five times and the system
even locked up up on the uninstall. Every other program locks up
eventually as well with Office installed. I have since removed Office
altogether and my PC works great again!! Luckily, I have Office on my
Mac (OS 10.4) and it runs flawlessly. Macs, gotta love em!! I would
however like to work in Word on my Dell PC, but really don't want to
deal with it at this point. If anyone knows of any known issues, I'd
love to hear about them. So far, I have seen this issue reported twice
- once here and once on another tech website. Each instance, including
mine, has happened within the past month - odd.

Thanks,
John
