Re: Fatal Error when attempting reinstall or repair



I did a complete uninstall and reinstall and everthing appears to be fine
now, with one exception. The Office Professional 2003 setup files are
missing when I do a disk cleanup. Before I would always uncheck that box in
Disk Cleanup, so that my setup files would remain, saving me from using my CD
each time. Any ideas? Thanks!
