FP is easy to remove if you do it from add remove. I thought you were trying to move it to another drive though. If that was the case windoctor by norton utilities would fix that problem. On Tue, 14 Dec 2004 09:31:28 -0700, Dana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I don't think it's Windows per se. I mo

Yes, I *was* trying to move it. I did move it. My bitch is that now that I have moved it, Word and Excel don't work, even after I moved it back. The remove comment was an example. I will keep the Systemworks suggestion in mind. It might be less trouble to get the Office disk out than to go buy a w

I don't think it's Windows per se. I moved several other programs that seem to work still, with the exception of Quicktime not automatically opening, probably a file association problem I haven't had time to fix. Winamp and Realplayer seem to be happily adjusting. It's an issue of M$ throwing dispa

Umm..I have to agree with Matthew there. You just cannot move installed applications to other locations on your hard disk, and expect everything to work. Microsoft or anything else. Heck , if I even do that with GAMES, some of them won't work. The issue isn't a microsoft one. If you feel that w

You need to put the files you took from Frontpage back and then uninstall about everything you don't need or can reinstall onto drive E. Moving any Office files around is a major deal to Office because the applications share so many files. I would definitely uninstall other programs before jus
