Yes, I do.
In fact, I was actually trying to install office 2007 on the computer and it was failing.

I checked the event viewer. it names a file called fpault.dll as
failing the protected files check. This file was not on my computer at all. supposed to be in c:\program
files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\40\bin

The reason it was not on my computer, i havent D faintest idea.
Anyway, by a miracle, i found this fpault.dll file on the original xp cd, hiding in I386\FP40EXT.CAB which is not a place i would ordinarily be looking. I extracted it and copied it to c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\40\bin

like the red sea parting office 2007 rolled on to install itself.

Thanks very much for your help.
