1.Office 97 Spellcheck unavailable in non-Administrators User?
I recently had to reload everything due to a power supply failure, the
reload was done on a clean / new hard drive.
I have everything working but am unable to get the spellcheck in Office 97
Professional to work in users that do not have administrators privleges. And
now I see that the spell check in the Oultook Express is not working either.
Any ideas?? the program works fine otherwise.
Thanks Jeff
2.XP - Outlook Express runs as Administrator but not Limited user
This topic belongs in
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress but since I'm
already replying...
Your problem is probably due to upgrading in-place from Win9X and switching
to NTFS at the same time.
Log on as gpz, then open a Command Prompt. Enter the command SET then look
for the output line which starts USERPROFILE. It is probably pointing to a
path other than the "normal" 2K/XP default which would be Documents and
Settings\gpz. Log on as an administrator and grant full control to the
profile path for gpz.
Quicken is an application which stores data by default underneath its
Program Files directory. Microsoft published guidelines years ago which
state that Program Files is for storing program files. In other words,
assuming that applications are designed properly, the threat of virus
infections would be reduced by making everything under Program Files
read-only except when logged on as an administrator. Since you obviously
can't do anything about Intuit's design at this point, log on as
administrator and grant change permissions on the Quicken data directory for
gpz (or a group containing gpz, if there will be other Quicken users). Try
to keep permissions as narrow as possible. For example, don't grant them to
the Everyone group or grant them at the Program Files level.
Upgrading in place, especially from 9X all the way to XP, is difficult. You
may also find apps that cannot be fixed without re-installing. Even though
you might have an app which supports 9X and XP, it might have 2 different
versions of a DLL file and only install 1 of them, depending on the OS it
detects during installation. When you upgrade the OS, it no longer has the
compatible DLL. There are many such situations you could run into, which is
why people rarely upgrade in-place across multiple OS generations.

3.Install Office in Vista Standard User or Administrator?
It seems like this should be an easy question, but I can't find it anywhere.
I have Vista Home Premium and I need to install Office Enterprise 2007.
Should I install it as the system administrator or in my standard user
account? I would like to make sure it is available for the other standard
accounts on my computer.

5.Office will not load: Only runs under master administrator account
I have installed Office 2007 Beta 2 and have been running it without problem
for a while. Suddenly trying to load any office application results in a
message saying "Microsoft Office <program name> has not been installed for
the current user. Please run setup to install this application".
The account I am using is an administrator account, but the only account
office will run succesfully on is the master administrator account. I have
tried uninstalling the beta and removing all registry/local settings files
several times, reinstalling from both the master administrator account and
the one I use, ensuring it is set to install for all users. I have also tried
reinstalling Office 2003, but the same error still occurs.
I have tried all of the possible fixes I can find on google/Microsoft KB but
none of them work. Any help would be appreciated!
