Thanks but have been there and done that. In fact SP3 for XP updated the Windows Installer.

As I said above, the problem seems confined to Excel since the 1706 and 1603 errors didn't happen with Word, Access or Power Point. Thats why I think it's an Excel install problem.

Use ccleaner and remove the rest of the office entries, then reinstall

Thanks Speedy. I came to the uninstall Office conclusion a couple of days ago when Google kept saying... "any more searches on Error 1706 and Error 1603 and Google will no longer meet your search" :badpc: PressF1 was a last resort.

I'll do the uninstall / reinstall asap.

Cheers
