That's because nobody is willing to do any diagnosis and doing a complete rebuild is faster and more reliable anyway. E.g. who knows what else is broken besides whatever particular cause your diagnosis finally discovers? BTW you might get more informed help from a newsgroup which specializes in Office Updates.

Thanks for the info, Peter. I got an error message when I tried to execute #4
in Detect & Repair Office 2003. It read: "Installation source for this product is not available. Verify the source exists and that you can access it." Could you direct me from here possibly?
