Crossed links for new user: XPHome

[Guest spamlet]

Can't suss a presumed 'wrong link' issue after setting up a limited account

on our XP Home laptop.

 

When user clicks on Word icon or doc, system says it is preparing to install

and set up Office, and eventually says target must be on another network

resource.

 

If these dialogues are just cancelled Word opens ok, but if it was one of

the docs was used to open Word rather than just the Word icon itself, then

no document actually appears when the programme opens. The same doc will

open from within the File dialogue of Word itself: just not directly from

MyDocs or Windows Explorer, unless Word is opened and the installer

dialogues cancelled first.

 

How do I stop the system calling for the unnecessary and unavailable

installer files for this user, and get his documents to open Word properly

when clicked? His extensions dialogue does associate 'doc' with 'Word' but

it must do so in a different way from other users (Administrators both).

 

Cheers,

 

S

Because it is limited and because Office/Word wasn't installed on that

profile. There is a registry key missing. Run the edit on line 171 (right

Hi Kelly,

 

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have made the registry change as per your

link and yet for this user any Word link starts the search for an Office

installer even though the programme itself continues to open when the

installer is cancelled.

 

The last message is:

"Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1 Premium

The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is

unavailable... (\\appo1\softshare\Office2K\)

 

.... or choose an alternative path to a folder containing the installation

package 'data1prm.msi'"

 

Searching the laptop does not come up with any such file.

 

Any more ideas?

 

Cheers,

 

S

It would appear to have been installed from a server with a name of

APPO1, do you have a cd, or company IT personnel?

Not any more I am afraid: the laptop is getting quite elderly and has long

since been parted from its networks and installation discs.

 

Thanks for the reply though.
