If u r a new user you should always use some software setup monitoring software before installing anything.
Most probably u would never want to roll back as mostly everything runs fine but when you do have problems n find yourself helpless
it proves to be a lifesaver.
I think windows xp has the system restore service .
You can roll back to some stable restore point had you marked one .
Enable this service if have a large capacity hdd which most users have.It does use lot of storage space but with todays monster hdds nobody misses a few gbs here n there.
This is a small piece of advice from an experianced user .
I know you didnot ask for all this crap so curse me for being a wiseguy but please mark my words .
Anyway u asked for a simple solution for ur XP problem.
I recommend you uninstall ur office 2003.
Reboot n deleate all the folders created by office n then go
for a fresh install Or to be on the safe side also reinstall windows
and then run office setup.
Or wait for replies from the gang for a short solution if you dont
wanna do it the lengthy way.
Take care BBye...

well amit its easy for an experienced guy to say to go for formatting and reinstalling the o.s.
i remember the days when i used to **** in the pants when i had to reinstall an os.

I never asked him to format.
I just suggested a reinstall.

roll back..

u can try to restore xp to an earlier date...before u installed the update...it might work..

T

that update is probably sp2 ... so i guess ur using an original windows
anyways ... i say its probably sp2 cuz only a milestone update like this usually causes problems
so for now u can uninstall sp2 from ur add/remove programs ..
make sure the show updates tick box is ticked
at a later time if u want sp2 u can get it from the digit dvd this month

cheers

Naah .i am not using a Original Windows so its can surely not be a Sp2..........

Ill try getting the cd and do sumtin bout it.
thnx

BY the way how ppl in INDIA use original Win Xp??
must start a poll for that.!!

T

o no
plz dont do that
itll just be one of those messy ones

anyways there are ppl who use original software

A

Yep there are quite a few.
Mostly they either work for an org.
Or they got stuck with the legal copy that
came preinstalled with their branded pc.
I dont know even a single individual who purchased it
n not got stuck with it.
Do you?

and one who bought it from the states ..
as in hes there studyin
and there theres a rule that u have to buy an os with a new comp

that's crap - i've been lived in the states for about 4 years - and my bro's still living there - there's no such rule - you can easily pick up a comp without buying an os wid it...

Now whos rite.

To fix the SKU001.CAB problem... just put ur Office 2003 CD in ur CD/DVD Drive...

Actually the recent updates released for Office 2003 applies/replaces the SKU001.CAB file inside /MSOCache/All Users/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/
Folder... where installation files of Office 2003 are stored.

While applying updates, It needs few files from the CD to apply the patches.
