  • 5. Settings in MST File not Applied
    Office 2003 I have created an MST file for Office 2003 using the Custom Installation Wizard from the Office 2003 Resource Kit. When I install Office 2003 using the MST file, none of the custom settings in the MST file get applied. For example, the spell-checking options, grammar-checking options, and file locations that I configured for Word in the MST file are not being applied to the installed application. In other words, what I am getting is the default settings for each of the Office applications. Also, I want to copy a custom Normal.dot file into the Templates folder, and that's not happening either. The MST file is in the same folder as the MSI file. I am running the installation using the MST file and the /qb command-line switch. I do not get any errors during the installation (although, I have not yet tried it with the /qr command-line option). Any ideas as to why the custom settings in the MST file are not getting applied during installation? Thanks for any help that you can offer. --Tom

cd rom drive can not open office cd rom

I have a toshiba satellite 105 laptop computer that I bought in Decenber with 
windows XP and I was running office 2003 stuent and teacher edition on it, 
but after I installed the vista home premium upgrade as a full installation, 
I can not get the CD drive to read the CD rom.  I can not even see it with 
windows explorer.  I was forced to load up an old office 97 cd just to have 
word to use, but it is not what I want out of word.  Please help me find a 
way to get this DVD-Rom/ DVD-Ram drive to read this CD rom so I can use this 
software that I purchased to use on this laptop.

So the cd reads all other cd's excepting Office 2003?
If you did an upgrade of the o/s, and Office 2003 was installed prior to the 
upgrade, it should still be there.
Theres something you are not telling

The software is not there, or it is not visible.  All other cd roms have 
loaded so far.  The only other problem I have encountered since I upgraded to 
vista is that my Sony DVR mini cam software will not function with vista, and 
Sony support has advised me that they will not make a fix for vista.  

I downloaded  a trial of office 2007 and it works fine, but I really don't 
want to pay microsoft for anothder version of office all over again when the 
trial period ends.

When I upgraded to vista, the instalation made my old XP OS a searchable 
directory, but nothing would launch from it.  Office 2003 was there and I 
saved all of the files from that directory to vista.  After all of my files 
were transferedto vista, I did delete that XP directory to free up space on 
my hard drive.  Perhaps when I did that, office 2003 was also deletd.  But I 
could nt launch Office 2003 from that directory, because nothing there was 
bootable.

Not having done the upgrade process I'm commenting in the dark.
I find it a little odd that after an upgrade you have to reinstall your 
apps.

What exactly you copied from the winxp o/s folder might have some bearing.

If you currently have Office 2007 trial installed, you should not attempt to 
install Office2003

1.disappearing CD data (NOT CD-ROM letter!) 

On my Win2K SP4 after some time my IDE CD-ROM (CD-Recorder actually) stops
reading data. Like if there is no CD in the drive. I thought that my CD is
dying, but then I discovered that:
1. It does NOT happen with same CDs and drive under Win98!! They work even
after few hours (well - like they should).
2. Audio CDs do work all the time. Not only they play correctly (I know that
computer isn't "needed" for them) :) ..but their TOC is read correctly (for
cddb/freedb checking).
3. Later I installed another old CD recorder - this one on SCSI...and same
thing! The times varied but in both cases the effect is like the CD is
unreadable or the drive is dying...

ANY ideas?
(machine is checked for spyware & viruses, has all updates, etc...)

TIA!

2.Windows unable to read CD Data from CD/DVD ROM Drive 

When I insert a CD into either my CD or CD/DVD ROM drives Windows cannot 
read from it and I get the message that the CD is either damaged or 
corrupted. This happens to all the CD's that I try.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you!

3.Outlook 2003 looking for disk in CD ROM drive 

When ever I launch Outlook 2003, I get prompted to "insert disk into 
drive E" (drive E is my CD ROM drove). I get prompted to click OK two times. 
This also occurs when I launch Microsoft Word 2003. I believe this happens 
when I 
launch Outlook 2003, because I use Word 2003 as my email client editor. Why 
are 
Word 2003 and Outlook 2003 looking for a disk in drive E? When I have a CD 
in drive E, this does not happen. What do I adjust to stop this from 
happening? Their is no other problem in the operation of either Outlook 2003 
or Word 2003.

4.Identify CD-Rom drive 

Using FileCopy, I'd like to copy a file from a CD-Rom that is always in the
same folder to the hard drive.

Sub TranferFiles()
SourceFile = "E:\folder\MyFile.doc"
DestinationFile = "C:\Temp\MyFile.doc"
FileCopy SourceFile, DestinationFile
End Sub

One problem with this....The CD-Rom drive is not always E from one PC to the
other.  So how do I identify the CD-Rom drive so that my code looks like
CD_Drive = ???????
SourceFile = CD_Drive + "\folder\MyFile.doc"

Regards!

5.Floppy Drive and CD-ROM & DVD drives 

I have just completed and update of Windows XP Home, 
Since then when i start the computer only one of the 
three drives work. (once only) When I try a second time 
the error message appears not accessable.   I have had 
the PC taken to a agent and he carried out a repair to 
the software and created a fresh start point.  He all 
works ok.  But as soon as I carry out the Updates my 
system will not let me use my drives.   

I only have Nero and Norton anti virus 2004 on the system 
so the artical list do not effect me.

Can any one help, as my only course seems to be go back 
to my start point and forget any of the updates that 
window has and no security against other people using my 
computer.

I an not a great computer user but can get around my 
systems.

Thanks

Paul
