Hi Ray,
Did you use any 'cleanup' software on your PC?
MSP files are stored in \Windows\Installer PC
for later reuse when updates are installed.
If the files are deleted you'll generally need
to update the software. See if 'detect & repair'
in the Help menu of an Office app works.
=======I can't update my Office 2003 software said it can find .msp files or
something like that in order to update my software... please help!!! <<
