Excel gives Dr. Watson error

[Mary Eckmeier]

I've been looking at this section all day as other people
seem to be experiencing the same problem I have... So
here's my 2 cents in case someone out there knows what
might be going on.

- I have Office 2000 installed on a laptop computer with
Office NT 4.0 SPK4. I use the computer infrequently, but
today when I went to start Excel, I received Dr. Watson
errors. Same with Word but no error for Access or PPT.

I've been working with the Office XP Web Components inside
of Front Page 2002 - but I've worked with them and the
Office 2000 applications without problem before on this
machine.

If you have any ideas - that would be great. I did read
the message posted here from Jan Karel Pieterse with many
steps to try and did them all but none seems to fix the
problem.

Thanks

Mary

Hi Mary,

Sounds like a serious problem then <smile>.
Have you tried completely removing Office (There should be a tool for
that as listed in this article:

Then do a fresh installation.
