Microsoft Office - Assistant

[Dave]

Okay, I just switched from SBS 2000 to SBS 2003. Now on my clients running,
Office XP and Office 2000 Pro I get this error from time to time.
"There are no Office Assistant character files present on the system.
Please run setup in maintenance mode and install at least one character."
I do as the error suggest and then sometime later I get it the error again,
but not on all stations. Some of the stations seemed to be fixed, while
others it comes back again.

Maybe this gives you some insight, it seems to be a problem running the 2
different versions of Office.
