I installed the Office Beta 2 Technical Refresh and the latest
Compalitability Pack. Despite this, old Word 2003 files do not open!

If you're using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the
Office Plugin that comes with it. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office
programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more
information.

Thank you for the response. Disabling the Office plug-in in Norton Antivirus
makes me vulnerable to malicious virus/worm/macro attacks. Is there any other
way? Seems easier to uninstall the TR

As long as you leave Norton AutoProtect enabled, you are
protected from most viruses and worms and macros. The only thing
the Norton Office Plugin does that Norton AutoProtect doesn't is
check password-protected Office documents for macro viruses.

The Technical Refresh cannot be uninstalled separately. If you
want to remove TR, you must completely uninstall Office 2007 and
then reinstall Beta 2.
