Re: Limited User cannot use MS Word

Hello Rick:

I uninstalled MS Office and downloaded and installed the Office Cleanup
Tool. However, when it gives me a list of things that I can remove, I do not
recognize most of them and the ones I do are not programmes having anything
to do with MS Office. I am concerned about deleting something I should not
be deleting.

The ??? list is comprised of
CCHelp, CCServe
A lot of ESS files of various types
3 HLP files
J2SE
KSU
Notifier
OfotoXmi
OTtBP files
PCDLNCH
SFR SFR2
VCamCen
VPrintol
Web Fldrs XP

I know not everything uninstalled since there are still some icons on the
Start/Programs/Microsoft Applications even though those links doe not work.

I am not sure what to do next.

Thanks,
Vela

Hi Wes:

No, it did not help. Firstly, I am presuming that I am making (attempting
to) these changes whilst logged in as a full user. Actually, it did not
seem
to matter much anyway.

I tried the cut & paste of short cuts as listed in suggestion 1 in the
document http://www.rickrogers.org/xpsware.htm. This did not help.

I tried suggestion 2) (Right click, Properties/Advanced) and
interestingly,
in neither the full user nor the limited user were the options such as
"run
with different credentials in bold but rather were in grayout. This
applies
to all MS Office applications though not other applications.

I tried suggestion 3) giving the limited user the ability to read, execute
and write in the Program Files folders. No luck.

Now, one other interesting thing I just found out from my oldest daughter.
She went to use MS Word signed on as the limited user for the first time
after it was set up and it asked her to provide some information first
such
as the Name and initials. I was not around so she just typed in her name
like they ask at school. (She could not remember exactly what the window
was
titled.) However now when I run an Office programme, and then check
Help/About, in the full user mode, it is in my name (as it should be).
When
I check an Office programme whilst logged in as a Limited user then
Help/About, it lists the information she typed in (her name & initials).
The
product id for both is the same. Could this be causing the problem?

One note, she did this entry of her name and initials before I uninstalled
MS Office and reinstalled it. (see original posting) Somehow that
particular
information was not deleted in the uninstall and showed up again once I
had
reinstalled it.

Any other suggestions? I don't mind uninstalling and reinstalling again,
but I need to know how to ensure that all settings are deleted. Then I
can
start over.

Thanks.

Nice document though from rickrogers.org! I need things simple. :-)

In news:675B63B3-052C-46CF-B022-15C9D5A6C5CC@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
VMH <VMH@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
I have XP running. I have a regular user and a limited user (for the
kids). When logged on (regardless of the only log on or via fast
switching) the limited user cannot use Word. It appears that it is
going to install or re-install (even though it is already installed),
then Word will open but so does an error message which says "...no
longer
functioning properly. Run Setup & Repair ". I tried that to no avail.
I
even uninstalled MS Office and completely reinstalled it, also to no
avail. Word is NOT open under the regular user when I am trying all of
this.

Running: XP Pro Sp2 (all updates)
MS Word 2002 SP3

I need Word for the kids to use for homework and I do not want to have
them logged on as a full user!

Thanks in advance for any assistance
