Hi...

First, understand that typing in all caps is not only hard for people
to read, but is considered RUDE on the Internet...as it's considered
to be SHOUTING. So, unless you are blind, you'll want to kill the caps
lock.

That error simply means that some addin you have is not working
properly...most likely because it is older and isn't working with 2003
because it is probably calling a process that is no longer available
in that version. So you'll need to hunt down the problem and fix it.

Read this article to more fully understand the problem and get tips on
how to find out where your problem exists.
