That registry change did the trick!

I'll try the Registry edit in a little while.

The exact message I get is is in a dialog box titled "Office Assistant" and
says:

There are no Office Assistant character files present on the system. Please
run Setup in maintenance mode and install at least one character.

I don't understand why this started popping up. It wasn't there when I
first installed Office 2003. It only started after I did a Help search
online for toolbar information.

Hi

I am running office 2003 and have not installed the assistent. If I go to
the menu "Help | show the office assistant" I get an error message telling
me that the assistant has not been installed and I need to run setup to
activate. But I don't get it every time I open an application.

In
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Common\Assistant\
I have two values
AsstState=26 (Hex)
CurrAsstState=26 (Hex)

Maybe you can add and see if that change something

Yes, but that still requires the Office Assistant to be installed and the
Office Assistant will continue to be loaded and running as a process in
the
background, just in case you decide you might want to use it.

Go into Help for the office application. I searched for "deactivate

Assistant ".

Since I have not used an Office Assistant since Office 97 I did not
install
it with Office 2003.

But, every time I open an application it pops up with a notice that
there is
no office assistant installed and that I need to install one.

I know it is not installed and I do not plan on installing one.

How do I stop this annoying pop-up, besides installing an object
that I will
never use?

Thanks
