Project could not open Global.mpt

[Curtis]

This is the error message I get upon opening Project Standard 2003:
"Project could not open Global.mpt"
I have done as the error insisted, that I rerun setup and repair the
installation. I have copied the file from the disk overtop the actual
Global.mpt. I have copied it from other working stations. I have reinstalled
numerous times and versions, including 2003 Pro. I have upgraded the rest of
Office from 97 (I know...weird) to 2000. And yet I still receive that same
error message. This is the only machine of rough 10 giving me any issue.

Of course, having just removed a virus may ba an issue. However... a clean
install of the program should repair the issue. However, upon uninstalling,
deleting the program directory manually, reinstalling and trying again I get
the same error. It's about to go out the window. If anyone has any ideas,
please post them here.

Hi Curtis,

Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup

One other possibly action is to search the PC for the global.mpt file(s) as
you may have more than one. You can rename them and then reinstall Project
to get a fresh global.mpt. If the old global.mpt files contain important
changes, macros, etc, you can use the Organizer to transfer the details to
the new global.mpt.

Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on )
