We are currently using Office 97 with SP2 and Windows 2000 Professional SP2. We are having wierd problems running presentations, we have video in these presentations on some machines they work and on others they don't, all the video files are linked properly with the presentation. I guess my question is... Is anyone else out there running into problems with PowerPoint 97 or Office 97 using 2000 Pro (SP2)

Thanks in advance

Yes, I, too, have encountered many probs with Office 97. I am going to list a few workarounds that I have found useful in solving some of these problems. They are all small registry hacks under HKEY_LocalMACHINE. Grant FULL CONTROL to the USER GROUP using Regedt32\Security\Permissions: I hope this helps your problem.

Office Assistant
Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Reference (grant FC to Users)

Outlook Software\Classes\Applications\Outlook.exe (FC to Users)

Outlook Express Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express (FC to Users)

Word97 Spell/Grammar CheckSoftware\Microsoft\Shared Tools (grant FC to User group)

Office 97(Most important fix!!!)Software\Microsoft\Office (grant FC to User Group)

Hope some of this helps. Another way to do this is on the DC using Security Templates...but I have no experience doing this as of yet...so I won't offer any advice. Have a good one!

Sorry how that comment got formatted. All of the fixes start in HKEY_LOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE key. I had listed Office Assistant, Outlook, Outlook Express, etc... as subjects of each fix. Sorry about that!
