WinXP and Office 2003 problems

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

That just sounds like a messed up install of Windows. Do you have any
service packs for Windows installed and do you have Service Pack 1 for
Office 2003 installed?

I have every thing up to date.

If it is a messed up install, it only affect Microsoft products, but then
again, why should that be a surprise?

Before the Dutch drained the marshes, Ely was an island. Ely also has a
large cathedral, which is said to be the longest cathedral in England.
These are some pictures I took near the cathedral. These pictures are
proportioned to fit the desktop.

Sorry about the previous post, I pasted the wrong paragraph. What it was
suppose to say was:

The problem turned out to be a major registry problem. I used the registry
cleaner in the FixIt Utilities 5 and Microsoft Word started working and the
JAVA applets started behaving.
