loading/reloading Office
If I can't crack this I'm likely to turn to excessive quantities of alcohol in the very near future.
9 days since laptop self-ingested its own motherboard. Hard disk recovered and 100% operational (this is now in a USP cradle) which I can read and write to with no problems form the machine which I expected to become my desktop solution for the forseeable future.
The offending machine is a little used device which in theory was acting as a server (one back office application - never implemented), a couple of shared design programmes, some shared files and mass back-up device on second drive (currently removed).
It won't let me load Windows Office (I have tried the original pack and a brand new unopened pack) - it gives an 'error 1046' and tells me to verify sufficient permissions to access the registry.
Signe din as administrator, have checked adminsitartor rights OK, have tried as both the administrators, have tried right clicking and 'run as administrator' on both set-up files (Copy 1 and copy 2) - still the same error.
As an experiment tried opening the winword.exe (right click - run as administrator) on the old disk (cradle via USB as above) and it advised insufficient disk space or memory (neither of which causes is valid - plenty of space on both discks and oodles of RAM, everything else operating fine).
Now, where's the JD !!!
