Just ran into a similar situation with Office 2010 being installed on a WinXP system. After the installation, the registry had been jacked so that when you try to send a PDF from Acrobat Reader to an email recipient, messages talking about how Outlook had not been set up yet started popping up. The end user uses Thunderbird for email, and Office 2010 apparently waltzed right in and took over all associations in the registry.
As I told the client, "Installing Office is a great profit opportunity for me...to clean up the mess it makes."

Happens for just one user's computer, not others, on the COPY TO command in code. All users are XP Pro with Office 2010. User did say that he's getting odd messages from Windows since they changed something on their server. (Perhaps a new server? Can't recall.) From that user: [Never really noticed before now, as I do not use them often, but it seems as though all my Microsoft programs; Access, Excel, Word, Power Point are all missing shortcuts. When I try to open any of them I get a message saying "problem with shortcut, this shortcut has been changed or removed", or something to that effect. Bill, I did notice a change in the appearance of the icons when we switched over recently, but had not attempted to run any of these programs.] I speculated that his file associations are perhaps screwed up. If I were their tech (and I'm not), I'd probably uninstall/reinstall or repair the Office 2010 installation, making sure that there were no other versions of Office on his pc. Ideas beyond that? tia. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/4e8a1e8a.7070...@ggisoft.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
