That's what I did when I first encountered the problem 2 weeks ago, then it went to uninstalling Office, deleting anything office on the local drive, clearing registry entries, and doing a clean reinstall and that did not help. That's what led to my decision of getting rid of the profile and starting fresh.

natas

damn.. are you guys using roaming profiles?

imported_Megatron

Not yet, the profiles are on the local for now.

natas

how are you deleting the profile?

imported_Megatron

As administrator going into %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings and killing that ***** and then going into the registry and killing the entire profile entry for that user under HKEY USERS.

natas

hmm.. well, there still could be some remaining keys if you aren't deleting them under the system option/contorl panel. Under HKLM - Microsoft - windows (or windowsNT cna't remember) - profile list, you'll have to match up the SID with the user ID.

But are there keys for that specific user there also?

My last post was my non-technical way of saying just that.

Sometimes there are multiple instances of the same object (in my case it was Microsoft Word) in the registry which makes loading it SLOOOOW.

After deleting the extra ones, it loaded in a snap.

Screw all of this ish, I've wasted too much of my time on this ****o.


I'm just going to have to give him a whole new workstation altogether.


Thanks anyways nat & bizell.
