This may not sound very scientific, but after hundreds of wasted hour
of searching and experimenting, here is what I did and it works !
1. Uninstall all Microsoft Office 2007, 03 etc versions.,
2. Uninstall all MS Office file convertors, support software fo
desktop gadgets, downloaded patches, etc
3. Go to hard drive and find the Microsoft Office folder and delet
it.
4. Since I did not want to monkey with the registry I went to PC Worl
and downloaded CCleaner and Regclean and installed it.
5. Run both programs multiple times till all registry errors ar
corrected. This could take many reboots as after every reboot you wil
see new errors when you run the softwares.
6. Alternate would be to open registry and delete all references o
office, risky !
7. Installed Office 03 fresh by finding the setup file on the cd usin
windows explorer, right click and run it as administrator and downloade
patches and everything is doing great now
