Nag message on excel installation with Vista
Have installed my trusty Office XP onto a new laptop running Windows Vista.
When I open Excel I get the meassage "Compile error in hidden module: AutoExecNew" When I close Excel I get the message "Compile error in hidden module: DistMon" As far as I can ascertain, Excel is working OK. Anyone got any ideas as to wha my problem is & what I can do about it? Regards Philip |

Nag message on excel installation with Vista
Coincidence with Vista:
Take a look he http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q307410 OFF: "Compile Error in Hidden Module" Error Message When You Start Word or Excel It points at PDFMaker.xla as being the culprit. If you move/delete that addin, you should be ok. Philip Reece-Heal wrote: Have installed my trusty Office XP onto a new laptop running Windows Vista.

Thanks Dave
Advice looked god. Found and deleted the .xla file you pointed at and searched for other ocurences: none. However, I still get the same problem. I do have Norto Antivirus but hat was update yesterday. Any other ideas? Thanks again Philip "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...

Keep looking. I bet you missed one of the locations of that addin.
Or... Maybe the name changed in different versions? I'd look for pdf*.xla, then *.xla. Remember to look in hidden folders, too. And maybe an old DOS command would help (I don't know if it'll work in Vista, though): Start|Run (is there such a thing??) CMD (to get to the Command prompt) cd\ (to get to the root directory) dir pdf*.xla /s or dir *.xla /s The /s says to search subfolders, too. Philip Reece-Heal wrote: Thanks Dave Advice looked god.

You are a star. The old ways are still the best; lovely to use the command prompt again and lo and beld it found another copy of that pdf file. No more nag screens in Excel now. Havn't found Start/Run in Vista but the comand prompt can be accessed frm Start/AllProgrames/Accessories.. Thanks again for your help and patience Philip PS apologies for not replying sooner "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ... Keep looking. I bet you missed one of the locations of that addin. Or...

In WinXP, I can hold the flying-windows key and hit the r key to bring up the
Run dialog. Flying-windows e is windows explorer flying-windows d is the desktop flying-windows m minimizes everything (like flying-windows d) flying-windows shift-m (capital M) puts things back (I'm too lazy to load the virtual pc that has vista on it!)
