Where the heck does this function/feature/executable (?) actually reside
within MS Office? I have it, but all my pointers are "shortcuts", and lack a
useable "find target". I have Office XP and Word / Outlook 2002, and the
feature is alive, well and working.

Does this Microsoft Office Application Recovery tool exist for Office /Word
2000?

Reason for asking is for a person who has posted elsewhere and it seems they
cannot find said tool.

Thanks,
 
Usually in
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Office10
named DW.EXE

No, this will not work for recovering Office 2000 apps.
 
OK Patrick....Thank you very much. I'll will look for that right now. Too
bad for my friend and fellow poster though. Again, I thank you for your
courteous, and quick reply.

Hmmmm. I just checked that DW.exe; seems that this is the Error Reporting
Tool. I'll look around more, but if you have another idea of where it might
be, I'd be most interested. I wonder why my shortcut in
Start>programs>office tools >Microsoft Office Application Recovery hasn't an
active "find target".

That is the app recovery tool as well.

Has me stumped. I am still not sure (don't mean to be a doubting Thomas on
this) but a click on DW.exe does nothing; all indications (that I've found)
are that it is solely the Error Reporting Tool. The Office Tools does bring
up the Applications recovery tool, but again, they are shortcuts in that
menu with no active "find target". Is that normal?

I checked "SlipStick". No help on this issue, but it's always been
(generally) useful for others.

Why *VCatch* is still listed in Slipsticks Antivirus page remains a mystery
however. Known *Spyware*! Has Bargain Buddy, (other elements which in this
instance, cannot be disabled with Custom Install) and other nonsense.
