First off i want to appologize for not giving complete information, i will provide that as i can obtain it. I am at work, and have been having a problem with Word 2002 for the last few days on my home pc, and have not had the cance to investigate it till now.

I am using Windows XP Pro, with Office XP pro and have had no issue for the last month or so.

The last 2 days, when i start Word, i get a message that tells me that the windows installer needs to run-- it then gives an error saying it cannot lovate a certain file (seems associated with office xp in some way, but i did not write it down- again, i appologize and will provide more information later)

Then it goes into Word, and works fine.

Anyone run into this and know what the cause and or solution is? I will most likely just uninsatl and reinstall, but would rather not if it is not needed.

I use NAV 2002, and have most current definitions- did a fulls can and eliminated possible virus infection from the equation.

Thanks---

Joe
