Office 2003 not updating

i may have the following problem
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907380
the link to the script to verify installation mode doesn't work.
how can i verify installation mode?
thanks

Notice that you've reinstall Windows 7, have you installed the latest version of VGA driver (graphics card)? Office client itself might not be the root of issue since we've reinstalled it already.
Thanks.

Microsoft office 2003 not working after software update

I tried opening up my MS Word and Powerpoint programs last night by clicking on their icons. It did not open. However, I opened the programs a few weeks ago when I created several documents but now nothing. But at the same time it does open my existing files using these programs. And when that's happened, I am able to close the existing file and do a FILE: NEW and save with no additional issues.
I have a feeling that the most recent Software Update 2011-002 is to blame. Just like when previous versions were to blame when it disabled my previous version of Photoshop. Also, just as the last Safari update a while back still continues to cause problems for me when I try to check my email on AOL for Desktop for Macs forcing me to go directly to www.aol.com over the web.
What can I do to remedy this problem without having to purchase an updated version of MS Office? I personally don't believe the latest version of MS Office will work on my laptop because it DOES NOT have the Intel chip. Unfortunately, I purchased my laptop just prior to the Mac Intel processors came out on the market.
In conclusion, each time the program crashed or stalled when I tried opening it multiple times I sent a report to Apple.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Send me an email if necessary. I don't always log into the Apple site.
Thanks, Christie

Office 2013 Home and Business not updating

I have two PCs on my network that I bought from Dell. Both came with a license for Office 2013 Home and Business. Office trial version was already on the machines and i just registered and activated the trial version using the licenses I was given from Dell.
Everything was fine until I was troubleshooting a duplicate email issue in Outlook on of the machines. At this time I noticed Office didn't appear to be on the latest version of click-to-run. I am relatively unfamiliar with click-to-run Office 2013 and the
changes to how it updates. Apparently it does this automatically. Problem is these two machines don't appear to be updating at all. I can't find an update history just a version number. I found online and performed the following troubleshooting steps:
1.) Disable then re-Enable Updates by going into File -> Account -> Update Options
- this seamed to start the downloading of updates but they never installed. That window telling me they were
downloading just goes away and nothing happens.
2.) If "1" doesn't work try an Online Repair.
- the repair begins and ends before completing saying "Something happened". This effectively breaks the install and
a following dialog box explains that Office was uninstalled.
3.) Re-install Office
- but have to run a cleanup tool first to remove remnants of previous install. I then find it difficult to find an
installer that will work at all kept getting "Something happened" message. Finally Dell support found an installer that
works. however even after the install Office will not update.

Per your post, it seems that you activate the Office 2013 Home and Business trial version by Dell provided. I can confirm the update service is available for Office 365 subscription users, but I am not sure whether it is working for the trail version.
You'd better confirm it with you Dell provider or post a new thread in
Office 365 forum, thanks.

Office 2013 C2R Update Scheduled Task does not work

Hi all.
I am having difficulty getting network deployed updates to work correctly. I installed and older version of Office 2013 with the ODT from a network share and set the update path. I then downloaded an update via ODT.
The issue is the scheduled task does not update office. If I trigger or manually run from a command prompt "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\integratedoffice.exe RUNMODE RERUNMODE modetorun updatedetection modeargs reschedulemode tasktrigger
scheduledtask updateuitype background” from Task Scheduler nothing seems to happen. Monitoring Task Manager it looks like integratedoffice is called albeit very briefly.
But, if I run "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\ClientX64\integratedoffice.exe RUNMODE RERUNMODE modetorun updatedetection background” from a command prompt Office updates, but if I edit the Scheduled Task to above Office does not update if the
task is triggered.
As Office can update if the right command is given it would appear that my config.xml etc is correct. Any ideas on why the Scheduled Task does not work?
Cheers
Jakes

What permissions are set on the location of the updates ? C2R currently needs permissions granted for machine accounts as it runs under that context. This will change at some point that C2R gets updated.

LastLogonTimeStamp Attribute Not Updated for Computer Account Over SSL-VPN

We like to use LastLogonTimeStamp (LLTS) to find stale computer accounts, disable them, and eventually delete time. What we have found is that domain member computers that connect to the domain exclusively by SSL-VPN (for instance in the case of employees
who work from their home office) do not update LLTS. Consequently these computers frequently appear on stale computer reports.
I suppose the required logon type is never used when connecting over SSL-VPN. Therefore I would like to know if there is a way via a logon script or some other method that we can update this attribute.

That is normal as you connect to VPN using locally cached credentials for the user and the computer accounts.
My recommendation to track these computers is to have an agent that periodically report the computer status (Example: Using Microsoft Intune) or have a scheduled task that will run a script when the user is connected to VPN and register the computer name
as active in a file that is hosted in a share.

Office 2003 no PC Sync :-(

Hi,
I'm using Windows XP Home SP2, MS Office 2003, Nokia PC Suite 6.84.10.3 and syncing via cable, Zonelabs Zonealarm Firewall, AVG Anti Virus, PC Tools Spyware Doctor
My sync was working fine at least I think it was since I just re-built my labtop untill I installed SP3 for Office then PC Sync stopped working.
I un-installed Office then re-installed with no Service Pack so now it's just Office 2003 not Office 2003 SP3 but the PC sync still doesn't work.
I have no idea what could be the problem as on my other labtop with same config Office 2003 (no Service Pack - it was never installed!) it works fine??
The error message I'm getting is: PC Sync has encountered a problem and has terminated the synchronization
The Synchronization was aborted by the user.
This I don't understand as both machine settings are the same but the sync works on one and not the other!
Thanks in advance

It doesn't work!
The phone says sending contacts and bookmarks and everything in the sync profile but unfortunately it doesn't seem to send or recieve??
PC Sync still comes up with the same error:
PC Sync has encountered a problem and has terminated the synchronization.
The Synchronization was aborted by the user.

Buttons on toolbar do not work in Microsoft Office 2003 programs.

I am using Adobe Acrobat Elements 6.0. My toolbar buttons do not work in any of my Microsoft Office 2003 programs. I can Print file and change the print file to Adobe PDF to convert, but it would be nice to be able to use these buttons on the tool bar. When I run my mouse cursor over the buttons it tells me to "see Adobe PDF menu for settings." Can anyone help me?

Did the buttons previously work in Office 2003?
The best information I could find is a troubleshooting guide: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/317/317147.hml Make sure your installation of Acrobat and Office are fully updated.
As a side note, Adobe stopped developing Acrobat Elements in 2007. http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/acrobatel.html

Script for updating Office 2003 to 2010 shortcuts

Hi,
Scenario:
the upcoming week we plan to update all our pc's from Office 2003 std to Office 2010 std. We do not manage the shortcuts the users have on their desktops, quick launch bar, startup folder etc. But the most shortcuts have Excel, Word or Powerpoint in their name.
Question:
To make it for the user as easy as possible we're looking for a solution that checks if the user has a shortcut in i.e. the startup folder. If it exists than it has to be replaced with the Office 2010 shortcut of the application. If not exists then do nothing.
I can't find a decent script that handles wildcards well. Any out there already tackled this problem?

Installation of Live Office; Update for Office 2003 (KB907417)

Hello,
We are trying to install BOBJ Edge 3.1 on windows server 2003 R2 sp2 and office 2003 sp3.
Live Office installation is getting cancelled with the following message.
"Produkt: BusinessObjects Live Office XI 3.1 -- Update for Office 2003 (KB907417) was not detected on this machine. Please install the update and re-run setup."
We installed the mentioned update on MS Office but the message did not disappear.
Does anyone have any insight on this issue?
One problem we are guessing is that of MS Office language. We have MS Office 2003 installaed in Swedish. Does any of you think that can be the reason.
thanks in advance.

The solution for fixing 2003 with out upgrading to 2007 is to install this update

Office 2003 Sevice Pack 3 Showing As Not Applicable For Clients Needing It.

have some office 2003 (Hebrew) client not installing SP3.
WSUS server shows "not applicable" for these clients.
update with "Microsoft Update" from internet shows SP3 as valid update.
WSUS server is configured to automaticly approve revisons.
Thanks

couldn't find any documentation about pre-requisites for sp3
install manually works so there doesn't seem to be something missing.
i did find info which may be connected to my problem
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907380/en-us
problem is the links it the article dont work
KB907380 is seven years old - "office update" is decommissioned.
install manually?? (do you mean download the fullfile.exe ?)(if so, sure, it includes the pre-reqs, WSUS does not)
after SP3 is applied, does WSUS now detect other updates?
(you know Office2003 is now unsupported by MS, right? :)

Update RoboHelp for HTML X4.1 -- Office 2003

Dear all,
I use RoboHelp for HTML X4.1. Last week Office 2003 was
installed.
The error massage "The Import Word Document Wizard cannot
locate Microsoft Word. Please install Microsoft Word"
showed me, that I have to update RoboHelp.
The suggested way with Auto-Update (menu "HELP" --> "CHECK
FOR UPDATES" --> button "NEXT") lead to the
massage "No new updates were found."
I read the RoboHelp Service Releases page, but did not found
the right download.
Please provide the right link for me!
Thank you in advance!
Andrew

Hi Andrew. I'm afraid that MS Office 2003 is not supported by
RHX4. There is an update to RHX5 to support it so your options are
to upgrade to X5 or get an earlier version of MS Office
reinstalled.

Robohelp and Office 2003 suddenly not working

Hi.
I'm working in the IT department for my company. I don't use
Robohelp myself, but one of my collegues do.
I'm trying to figure out why his Robohelp with Office 2003
suddenly stopped working. Seems like there may have come an Office
update that Robohelp wasn't happy about. But that's a guess.
Symptoms: What we are seeing, is that the RTF file just keeps
growing. Up to around 150-200 mb, and then Word stops responding.
Just freezes. Before the problem, the file stayed much smaller. The
projects are not only new ones, but also older ones, that have been
compiled before.
Measures taken so far: We have reinstalled his computer. with
a fresh Windows XP. A new Office 2003 with SP2 and other updates.
Then Robohelp with all updates. Both X501's and X502.
Is anyone else experiencing this? And better yet, does anyone
have a cure?
Thanks - Peter

It's Robohelp for Word.
My collegue seems to have found out, that it has something to
do with the graphics format, that some screenshots are stored as in
Word. He's experimenting a bit currently, to see exactly what's
going on.

What to do about Microsoft Office 2003, Windows Presentation Foundation & Google Update.

I am not sure what to do about the following 3 third-party plugins. It appears that the Windows Presentation Foundation plugin "has a major security vulnerability that can be exploited by malicious websites as described in the Firefox Article "How to enable and disable Windows Presentation Foundation." It seems that the easiest way to deal with this plugin is to disable it via the add-ons manager. My question do the other two plugins pose security risks - should I disable them. I have tried to find additional information on all three plugins and cannot seem to ascertain whether they need to be updated or if, in fact, there are updates for these plugins. I am not sure if they are even compatible with Firefox, perhaps they been added to the Mozilla Add-ons block list. At any rate, any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
The three plugins in question are:
Microsoft Office 2003 Unkown ? Research Office plugin for Netscape Navigator plugin
Windows Presentation Foundation Unknown ? Research
(WPF) plugin for Mozilla Browsers plugin
Google Update Unknown ? Research
Google Update
Thank you in advance.

hello, i have those plugins on my computer too but have always kept them disabled because i'm not exactly sure what functionality they offer - i have never encountered any site that would depend on them or would cause problems without them, so you can likely just disable them without any harm...

Anyone Else loose MS Office 2003 launch W/10.4.10 update?
Bouncing icon in tray with no launch of any MS Office programs.

Any Help?

I'm not sure what Office 2003 is, I have 2004, but if you want to revert to 10.4.9, do an Archive and Install, then download the 10.4.9 combo updater and you should be fine.

Report Generation Toolkit does not recognize Office 2003

Hi there
The newly installed MS Office 2003 and LV 8.5.
When installing Report Generation Toolkit is screams that it does not recognize Office 2003:
"Microsoft Office version 2000 or higher was not detected on the system. You need to install Microsoft Office 2000 or higher before you install the NI Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office 1.1.2."
What to do?
thanks
Pawel

Did you reboot your system after installing Office 2003? Have you launched Word and/or Excel since installing Office 2003? I think there might be some registry initialization that takes place on first launch of Word and Excel. If you've launched Word/Excel and the RGT 1.1.2 installer still isn't detecting them, there may have been a problem with your Office 2003 install. Try uninstalling Office 2003 and reinstalling it. When you reinstall, double-check that Word and Excel are selected in the install. Then launch them both a first time before trying to install RGT 1.1.2. If it still doesn't detect Office 2003, perhaps there's another problem with your system. Are you using any foreign language software? What OS are you running? Is it Office 2003 standard or professional? Is there anything weird about your Office install, like is it installed over the network instead of from CDs?
I'm hoping the answer to one of these questions helps you solve the problem. Keep me posted...
