Microsoft word 2003 stopped working

[MADDAWG4]

Wow i am so extremly frustrated have a paper due tommorrow and microsoft word 2003 stopped working. I installed some office update online and it made my microsoft word stop working.

When i open it itwindows installer comes on and says preparing to instal. Then it says installing microsoft word feature.

Then it says the feature you are trying to use is on a disk or removable storage that is not available. Then it says insert microsoft office basic Edition 2003 and click ok.

Then no matter what i click it says blah blah try to find installation package BASIC11N.MSI from a folder in which you can install the product.

Then when i click cancel it says error 1706. setup cannot find required files. then when i click ok it closes microsoft word and i cannot use it. Then it says microsoft word is not installed for this user... run setup.... or something like that.

WTF... and when you try to call microsoft they want to charge you $35.

Please help i am a broke college student who is trying to type a paper.

thank you

Hello Everybody,

I have the same Problem as the original poster. Same exact Error message.

Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

P.s. i dont have the original disc, i bought it pre-installed from DELL
