511974.MAINSP3ff.msp missing

[MaxM]

I have put in a larger hard drive. I coppied everything from the old drive to
the new. Almost everything is working, but when I start Word or Excel, I get
a message which tells me that the file 511974.MAINSP3ff.msp is missing.

I have done a complete search of the hard drive, as well as the installation
disk. It is nowhere, and I can't even run the repair stuff, as it will do
nothing with this file.

I am using Office XP.

Any help would be appreciated.

Apparently didn't copy everything. This missing file is part of the Office
XP Service Pack 3 full file version. You might try the suggested fix at
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=295823 "You receive the 'This patch
package could not be opened' errror message in Office 2003, in Office XP, or
in Office 2000". If the problem persists, then uninstall Office XP and
reinstall it properly from the original CD (remember to reapply all of the
Office XP service packs if you do this).
