Right, I'm running an nLite customised version of Windows XP. It appears that whenever I reset my PC, Office 2000 "forgets" it is installed. When I run say Access or Excel using the shortcuts I get an error message saying, "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."

Funny that, it is installed. Now I never got this with my default XP install so I assume its something I've either removed from this nLited XP or a setting I've made somewhere. I know I moved the default TEMP location to C:\TEMP, which I reckon could be the problem.

So does anyone know what is happening to Office when I reset and how I can fix this? If I have to re-nLite I don't mind doing that.

*Edit* This also affects Windows Live Messenger it now seems.

I've now fixed the problem. I just ran nLite again and didn't move the TEMP folder this time. All working lovely now.

Still using Office 2000? lol
At least use Office 2003.
cuak!

Yup Planning on getting Office 2007 this summer.
