Another Victim to Office SP-2

[David J Breslin]

Like several of you I fell for it and installed Office SP-2 and in doing so lost the ability to access my Excel and Word Docs that were previously created. When I go to open Excel I get an Unable to Read File error. Likewise when I get a similiar error when trying to load word or a word document.

Rundown of my case
1) Office XP Professiona
2) Tried to Reinstall/Repair ect with lots of headaches and liitle help
3) Tried to Unregister and then ReRegister Excel with no success(excel.exe /unregserver) &(excel.exe /regserver
4) Tried to ReRegister WinWord (winword.exe /r
5) Note I am using Norton Corporate Edition so I cant tell it not to check office document

If anyone has any ideas please Email me a responce at (e-mail address removed) in addition to posting here.
THanks All and Happy Holidays

Thanks Sue - I had to remove ALL my Norton products: Antivirus, SystemWorks, and Internet Security but I DID GET BOTH EXCEL AND WORD TO WORK.

What I am wondering is now that Word and Excel are working, is it safe to reinstall all of them? Only part of them

Thanks for all your hel
