Hi

I am new here and NOT very technical, but desperate. Can anyone help ?

For some reason my 'Frontpage' has disappeared and when I look in the admin files it say 0 bytes. I have not been able to upload any updates for about 3 months, also cannot access Excel and various other things.

I cannot find my original disks, I have a sony viao with XP, anyone any ideas.

Thxs in advance

Jayne

Hi Jayne, welcome to the PCHF!

What do you mean "frontpage"? What stage of windows?

Hi

It comes up with a box saying 'Frontpage' when I try to access Excel and when I get messages saying 'updates' are available and try to down load them.

It goes to 'Windows installer' then it says 'Please wait while we try to config Frontpage' then it finally comes up with this :

Microsoft Office XP with Frontpage

The feature you are trying to use is on a CD-Rom or other removable disk that is not available.

Insert the disk and press OK

Use source
Microsoft Office XP with Frontpage

Then it gives me this

Microsoft Office XP with Frontpage

The path with Frontpage cannot be found, verify that you have access to this location and try again. Or try to find the installation package PROPLUS.MSI in a folder that you can install

If I try to do this it gives me

Error code 1706 set up cannot find the required files. Check you connection to the network or CD-ROM. For other potential solutions to this problem see
C:\ProgramFiles\MicrosoftOffice\Office10\1033\SETU P.HLP

When I come out of it it then gives me Fatal Error

Am really stuck

Thx for reply hope this explains
