Re: XP Security Update- Office 2003 Quit Responding

Yes, I am having exactly the same problem. Thanks for the tip to do a
System Restore, I did the same thing, and it appears I can now reopen these
files.... a bit scary. Will be interesting to see how widespread this issue
is.

I did report the issue, it directed me to the Office update site, I ran the
available updates and it made no difference to the problem.

I just installed the Windows security updates. Now I cannot get into any of
the Office 2003 programs. They would open, but if I clicked on any of the
icons to open, save etc. the programs would quit responding. I even tried
inistalling and reinstalling Office. I finally ended up doing a System
Restore to yesterday's date, and everything seems to be working fine. It's
asking me to download and install the updates again, but I think I will
hold
off. Is anyone else having this problem? I also ran a virus scan, and
there
were no viruses found.
