MTK,
Guaranteed...it is a "MS Project running on WinXP" issue, not a Project
specific issue.
All the items I can find pertaining to this problem, reference people
running Project 2003. However, I am using Project 2002 Pro SP1 and am
experiencing the exact same problem.
I have had Project 2002 Pro SP1 installed on my WinXP SP2 desktop for more
than a year...never had a problem. However, about 2 weeks ago, I went to
Windows Update and installed all the XP and Office related patches it said I
needed. At the time, I really didn't think anything about it. However, the
next day, I tried to use Project...and I got the same results you did, but I
still didn't put two and two together.
I wiped my laptop, reinstalled all my software, installed SAV and Project
2002 and went to Windows Update to finish up. Same resolution to the
problem, with a completely clean and updated workstation.
I reregistered srchui.dll and jscript.dll but it did not fix the issue. I
applied the ProjectServer 2002 SP1 patch and the SQL patch...nothing. I
tried opening a project while connected to the server and while
disconnected...local .mpp files and published...nothing. FINALLY today, it
occured to me to try this on a Win2k SP4 machine. I installed Project 2002,
set the connections for the server, restarted the application and VOILA! Lo
and behold...the project showed up just fine.
So...can someone identify WHICH patch I installed from MS that hosed my
Project 2002 installation?
TIA,
~The Captain!

Mike, I tried the registration steps mentioned in the Knowledge Base
article. Both steps indicated the .dlls were properly registered.
The problem remains. I also looked at the FAQ page you mentioned; I
didn't see anything that would appear to help with the problem.
Thanks for trying!!

I've recently begun having a problem in which Project apparently
loads a Project file, but none of the data shows up in the window.
This includes new Project files and Project files I have previously
created and opened. Anyone have any ideas what is going on? I'm
running a Dell Latitude laptop, Windows XP Pro, 512 MB RAM, Project
2002 fully updated (according to the MS Update service).
Thanks!
