Hi folks ... im in desperate need of some assistance. Somehow (all of a sudden) my Office 2007 doesnt work and I get the following message when trying to open Word, Excel etc... "The command cannot be performed because the dialog box is open. Click OK, and then close open dialog boxes to continue", and also this message behind the previous one "Microsoft Office Word has not been installed for the current user. Please run setup to install the application".

hhmmm, its just come up with this completely out of the blue. I've tried System Restores and tried removing Office 2007 using the 'add/remove programs' but the icons remain in the Start Menu.

I have also tried deleting the 'Microsoft Office' folder from 'Program FIles' but get an error saying "Cannot delete MSOHEVI.DLL. Access is denied"

Can anyone offer any assistance or guide me through the process to COMPLETELY remove Office from my computer so I can install 2003 (as i prefer it)!

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Are you the computer administrator of your machine? Have you been using the same account since you installed office '07

Hi mate. yeah its my home computer. all seems to be sorted now, i have managed to get hold of 'Your Uninstaller! 2006' and that got rid of the bugger in a matter of minutes!!! bye bye Office 2007 and welcome home 2003!

*i appreciate office 2007 is a great package but i came a little unstuck when sending my CV off to companies as they couldnt open it with Office 2003.

They couldn't open '07 documents in office 03?? That's strange..

to be honest i cant recall trying ... although i did send my CV to a company and I got an email back saying it wouldnt open. i then assumed that office 07 wasnt backwards compatable. oh i dunno, i may warm to 2007 again, but for today im more than happy to have a working word processor, be it 2003 ... i may start experimenting with 07 when ive calmed down a little! lol

lol.. Well I'm glad that your problem is resolved..

I've only briefly experimented with Office '07 (The trial period from the cd!).. It had a cool new look and feel, but I prefer to stick with what I'm used to!

cheers mate, much appreciated! take it easy!

Yes. I am sole user and administrator.

Where may I get "Uninstaller 2006"? If I ever get Office 2007 deleted it is back to Office 2003 which worked like a charm.

I'm sure a google search would turn up that software.. however, it is much easier to simply delete Office 2007 using Microsoft's add/remove program. It should be efficient in removing the application..
