Microsoft Office with Frontpage

by Umer579 Oct 3, 2007 5:01AM PDT

Hi Guys,

Since the last two days, I'm having this problem where anytime I click on MS Powerpoint file, MS Word or MS excel file, I get this prompt with title:"Microsoft Office XP Professional with FrontPage" and after I click cancel it says" Error 1706, setup cannot find the required files. Check your connection to the network, or CD Rom drive. For other potential solutions, to this problem see C:\program files\Microsoft Office\Office 10\1033\setup.hlp"
After this, it just opens MS Word and I've to open the word files manually. I'm using Windows XP Media Center Edition and my laptop is Toshiba M115-S3094. I never had this problem before 2 days but I was tweaking with the anti virus software so I believe I might have done something wrong. Will really appreciate any feedback.
Thanks,
Umer

You need to share just a bit more.

Such as which Office CD you gave it to finish it's install or if you got a new laptop with that Office 2007 demo installed. Many are (re)discovering that we need to wipe off the demo first.
