Hi everyone, I have the same problem with MS Office 2003, and I'm 100% sure the reason is one of the components I'm removing with VLite... VLite is incredible software, making Vista better and helping us to improve the performance of our PC's, but we have to find what component removed by VLite that makes the issue with MS Office 2003... My sugestion is to try removing single components one by one, and installing vlited vista every time (for example on virtual pc) and installing office 2003, today I'll begin, if I find the component, that we shouldn't remove, I'll post it... if anyone of you do the same, I would be gratefull... sorry for my english :-P
