Compile error in hidden module. Please help..

[Royston Tin]

Hi,

I have recently installed WinXP and SP2. Also installed is Norton
Internet Security including Norton Anti Virus. Norton is run in place of
Microsoft Firewall etc..

First problem I had was that whenever I tried to install Quicken 2002,
from the install disc. I got the '16-Bit MS-DOS Subsystem error'
message, and the program would not install. For more details please see
KB305521. Anyway I followed the instructions in the KB article and the
issue was resolved.

Now, whenever I run MS word or MS Outlook, and exit, a message appears
"Microsoft Visual Basic - Compile error in hidden module: Autoexec".

Please advise me how to resolve this issue.

Many thanks

Royston.

It points at PDFMaker.xla as being the culprit.

PDFMaker.xla is the problem for excel (actually)

Hi, Dave,

Many thanks for your response.

I could not locate the files referred to in the KB to erase them, but I
did get an inkling that the problem could be something to do with Adobe
Acrobat Reader.

So I re-installed it.

Presto!
