1203067 2011-05-18 10:59:00 the "fix it" file from MS Help solved the MS Office 2003 pro problem i . e . uninstall / reinstall - following on, a series of updates appeared, all relating to Office Pro 2003 - but they won't download! they,re not on the downloaded list so I wondered why - also the new PP files pptx won't open - suggestions offered were, download "file format converter" but that wouldn't till i downloaded KB918420, 917153, 917347 - the system won't accept them - am i confused or what??? -

this from the same source, the fix it site

Locate and then click the following registry subkey:



HKEY_USERS\ . DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersio

n\Explorer\User Shell Folders
In the details pane of Registry Editor, locate AppData .

The value of this key should be %USERPROFILE%\Application

Data .
If the value is not set to %USERPROFILE%\Application

Data, right-click AppData in details pane, and then click

Modify
In the Value data box, enter %USERPROFILE%\Application

Data, and then click OK .
Close Registry Editor .
Try to install the update again . If the problem

persists, repeat these steps but use the following registry

subkeys instead of the subkey that is specified in step 4:



HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\

Explorer\User Shell Folders



HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion

\Explorer\User Shell Folders

in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE the only difference is common Appdata and ALLUSERS - the words common & ALL added from the first two - should i change/delete them?

can anyone offer some help please?
