Excel quit opening

[amber_verstraete]

We have office 2003 and work with XP and we went to open Excel (which had
been working previously) an error came up and said it couldn't open and says:
The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that
is not available. Insert the “Microsoft XP Small Business†and click ok. When
I hit he cancel button it says:
Error 1706. Setup cannot find the required files. Check your connection to
the network, or CD-ROM Drive. For other potential solutions to this problem,
see C:\Program\Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\1033\SETUP.HLP.
If anyone has any ideas as to what's going on let me know!!

Have you tired inserting the disk and selecting OK? What happens when you do
that.

Yes. but we only have Office 2003 here. I put it in and it doesnt' like that.
Any other ideas??

 

[Jim Thomlinson]

Can't help you then. I will not ask how you ended up with XP on your system
when you only have 2003 but without an XP disk when it is looking for an XP
file is not an issue that we can resolve. Either upgrade to 2003 or get the
XP disk.

Can you open it in safe mode?

Start -> Run
Excel.exe /s
