    - I CRASHED AND BURNED!! I get a message that says I must reinstall Windows. I don't have the original disk (cd) or floppies. I have a floppy install of '95. I ran a "Maxtor" Western Digital copy and format floppy that I have from another harddrive and it tells me that the boot directory has too many entries. I can get the harddrive as master to boot to the desktop picture (wallpaper) but not to the web picture. the large white dialogue box comes up and says I have to reinstall windows. Is there anything I can do now!!!!!!!!!!1 My email is thmstv@yahoo.com. I was using an AOL service when the thing started experiencing trouble. Also ME is on a Compaq Presario system. All the drivers were ok and it all worked allright. I was getting several blue bacdground dialogue error windows prior to this. They said error in BFFE----. If you think there is any site or download that can diagnose or correct the boot directory please email me at thmstv@yahoo.com I Appreciate it. Thanks, Thomas Stevens Tag: Office 2003 Tag: 253408

    - windows disappear quickly. Hi, I'm troubleshooting someone else's pc. Here's the long of it: They bought a new printer. They installed the software on their pc - running Win ME. They try to print a document and get nothing. Uninstall/reinstall software several times... no luck -- after talking to their tech support decide it's a communication problem. Then they realize their may be additional problems with the pc. Here's a prime example - goto Run/regedit. The result is - the registry window pops-up for less than a second and closes. I cannot get into their registry?? Also come to find the same problem with Add/Remove Epson Software. I did 2 hours worth of MS critical downloads to get their pc up to date, but still no luck. Can someone suggest something? Please... Thanks, JC Tag: Office 2003 Tag: 253344

    - russian keyboard Hi This is on behalf of a client. I don't have ME myself, so I am a little unsure. The client needs a Russian Keyboard (virtual). It was there, but seems to have disappeared somehow after the last web update. When she tries to installk the keyboard again (controlpanel => keyboard => add) it tries to copy a file (no name given) which it doesn't find on the CD. What is the file's name, and where can I get it (I assume it would work to place a copy of that file locally somewhere and install it the keyboard from there, i.e. point to that folder instead of the CD). Is it a .dll or is it hidden in a .cab of some kind? Thanks, - Daniel Tag: Office 2003 Tag: 253325

    - System almost grinds to a halt After my PC has been on for a while, the system resources seem to run very low. Sometimes I try to start a new program and it tells me I need to shut something down, yet I have very little running. This is easily cured by doing a Restart, but it is really annoying. I have installed Process Explorer to try tracking down the problem and it seems to show STMGR.EXE as being the culprit, and the only thing using 90+% of the CPU. When things really grind slow, after several hours of running, P.E. shows % of System Idle CPU as a minus figure. This has been going on for a while, and all the usual virus scans and checks have been made on numerous occasions. I have an AMD 1200 processor and 512MB RAM. Any ideas please?

    - How to configure spare Hard Drive I have two 20Gig hard drives. I want to use one for general use and the other for saving back up documents and programs. But I also want to be able to boot up on either one. In fact, I'd like to work it so that the backup will be a mirror image of the first drive. If that needs special software, then I'd just like to use it for backing up. So I uncabled the second drive and formatted the first drive (DR0) to boot up for general use. Then I moved the cable (DR0) from the first drive to the second drive (careful to change the second drive's jumper to make it DR0) and formatted it the same way. But when I change the jumper back and hook them both up in their original configuration as DR0 and DR1 on the same cable, the second drive automatically gets reformatted somehow and I lose the system boot up stuff. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance Tag: Office 2003 Tag: 253282

    - PC Fails To Start Over the last fortnight my PC became increasingly difficult to start up. It would freeze before the Windows Me Logo was displayed on the monitor. Ctrl Alt Del had no effect. A physical switch off and back on would display the usual incorrect shutdown format and initiate a Scandisk. The pc would then continue to start up and then freeze at another point in the start up cycle. this would continue to be repeated until finally after several attempts the PC would finally start up and display the desktop. On selecting My Computer I was then unable to open any folders which would display the 'Open With' option. I restored my PC and it appeared to work. Next day, on switching my PC on the pc will not go past a 'C' prompt. Ctrl Alt Del results in the same. If I perform a physical shut down the PC re powers and goes to a blue format saying my IFSHLP file is not present. if the PC is repowered it sometimes goes to the format indicating 'Safe Mode'start up. if this is selected the C prompt appears and I am back to square 1. I am using a I Ghz Athalon processor, 320 Mb RAM and 512 Mb PNY NVIDIA Graphics Adapter.I have AV software, a Zone Labs Firewall, Spyblaster, Adaware and the latest download from the Windows Update site. Regretably, I don't have a start disk. Any help would be appreciated as to the possible cause. TIA. Steve Tag: Office 2003 Tag: 253257

Will the Office 2003 software run on ME or will I need to

The system requirements for Office 2003 are Windows 2000 SP3 or later or
XP. Office 2003 cannot be installed on a system running a Win 9x
operating system such as Win Me.
