Office Basic 2003
I'm running Windows XP and am trying to uninstall, repair or re-install
Office Basic 2003 or Office Pro 2000. I am continually stopped by "Error:1913. Setup cannot update file C:\WINDOWS\win.ini. Verify that the file exists in you system and that you have sufficient permissions to update it." I have verified that the read only box is not ticked. I am the Administrator. I have changed the file name from win.ini to win.old and restarted the pc, tried to install it and still no luck. Any help would be appreciated Thanks! Jeanie K |
