Hi,

I don't see this error documented anywhere on Microsoft. It seems it does not want to register the web components, but this doesn't make much sense to me on a new formatted computer, although it would have been MUCH more sensible to install Office 2003 FIRST, instead of your other dodgy programs (who knows what they may have done?).

Are you installing from a genuine Office 2003 CD? What does the writing on the CD say?

Is your XP a genuine retail version, or the Dell restore CD?

Office 2003 is not being very nice to me. When I first installed it, I kepted getting an error 25090. I followed the instructions on the website to fix it, but that did not help at all. So I took the plunged and formated my computer again ( just did it two days ago, so not much loss). I decieded to install all other programs first, THEN office. This time, mid way through instalation, I get: ERROR 1911. Setup cannot register type library for file c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web components\11\DFUICOM.exe. Contact microsoft product support services (pss) for assistance. (great, their product doesnt work and they want me to spend 35.00 for assistance for their product?)... Anyone have any problems like this? ALso now, my computer wants to DEBUG now after that I installed Office. Whats up with that? Any assistance would be very greatfull. This is also Office 2003 Professional edition. I am running a Dell Inspiron 5100 Laptop. XP Professional Edition that I just loaded on. I am the only user on this computer (that I knowenly set up).

Thank you,
Delaney
