(word still runs fine) When I .exe it, this Windows Installer thing pops up say saying "preparing to install" and once the bar goes all the way complete, it starts all over again and doesn't end unless I press 'cancel.' It also lags my comp really badly when its going through this process. Any reason why this is happening and how to get rid of it? It just started happening recently.   | ||

I believe if you like, give it a directory of your isntallation cd rom or files it'll fix itself but i never bothered. Here's the fix I use. HIT CANCEL. Now, what'll happen is, if you double clicked on a file, the file wont open but the program will! now open the file since the program is open. win! | ||

If, when using a MS Office application, you have the message "Preparing to install ....", just create an empty folder named "XLStart" in the following position: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11". Now restart your excel application and it should work ... it's low impact lol | ||

I had to do a repair with Office 2003. The only solution I could find (besides a fresh reformat) was disabling Windows Installer in services, but you'd have to reenable it when installing new programs. | ||

However When I try to open Powerpoint I get " this application has failed to start because msvcr80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Since I don't have the install CD, anywhere I can get this .dll and where should I put it? | ||
