Hijack this can get rid of the reg entries not the files. Deleting the
files is one thing but you could have a trojan bringing them back in. I
still say the issue is Norton. I do not think those Imaging programs are
the result. I have Adobe 7.0 in here and do not have this issue. It may be
that Norton recognized what it thought was an attempt to change system files
by Office disabled the attempt and now you have what you have. An uninstall
will not fix that. Addins - did you look there in the Office applications
not just COM? Look at Excel. First do you get the corrupted Splash? If so
look at the startup folder in C:\Programs\Office\... xlstart.. Make sure
there is no personal.xls there. Then go into the Documents and Settings
folder under your profile and then Application Data. Then under Microsoft |
Excel you should see a Start Up. Look in there. If it is not empty move
the stuff out do not delete. Remove the xlb also under Excel. Make sure
Norton stuff is gone under Application Data as well. Now there is a way of
opening an Office Application in safe mode depending on the version you are
using. Hold the CTRL key down when double-clicking or selecting the startup
program Excel say.
