'problem starting the Office Assistant'
Hello,
I know this is slightly off-topic but... I'm using Excel from Office 2000 and am getting an error on startup which I'd really like to get rid of: - There was a problem starting the Office Assistant. Would you like to try installing it? I did try to re-install it but it didn't help. Any tips on how to get rid of this would be welcome! Thanks! |

From Excel, along the menu at top, click Help and de-select "Show the
Office Assistant". I'm biting my tongue, trying to resist the urge to editorialize about THAT particular piece of code. |

Man I wish it would be that easy to fix it! Unfortunately Help does not have "Show the Office Assistant" as selected. And when I select "Show the Office Assistant" I get the error message referred to in my original message. This one goes a bit deeper than normal. |

Hi Dave, I figured it out though (with MS's help nonetheless!) I went into Setup Programs to Install/uninstall programs and selected Office 2000. I went in and found an option to deselect the Office Assistant there. I'm very relieved! :) Man was it starting to really bug me. |
