    Office file repair tools - any recommendations?

    Ah if only...I am merely [tongue firmly in cheak when I say 'merely'] a desktop engineer who has no control over the way user connect to the rather large Tele Comms company that I contract for. If they came close to listening to any suggestions I have they'd at least have a usuable internal...

    Office file repair tools - any recommendations?

    It is Excel workbooks I'm referring to here and yes, I think it is generally a case of users becoming impatient and forcing Excel to close. Quite right and possibly the best option without third party tools but when this doesn't do what the user wants they want me to supply some kind of 'magic'...

    Office file repair tools - any recommendations?

    Ah ok, that's something I didn't think of...I will give it a go. Generally it's Excel files that are getting corrupted, some of our guys work with some pretty complex and large workbooks that are quite often being used across the network so impatience with shutting down etc can quite often...

    Office file repair tools - any recommendations?

    Looking for recommendations for third party tools to repair corrupt MS Office files, in particular Office 2007. I am aware of the ability to repair from within Office so don't need help with that but so often this just doesn't work and the temptation is to try something off the net. Wondering...

    Outlook Calendar Isse

    Is this affecting all users or just one...you say 'when the user' and 'her mailbox' which makes me think just one. Are users working in cached exchange mode? Has this always happened for the one user or only just started? I used to have a handle on life... but it broke. Cpt. Red Bull

    Apologies for later reply... I have no access to AD unfortunately, hands are tied as we have a department for eveything, I work in the UK..the AD team are in Germany. Still got the problem with no sign of being able to fix it yet. I used to have a handle on life... but it broke. Cpt...

    Cannot start the source application for the object.

    All users are on XP Pro, some are running Office 2003 and some Office 2007. I'm totally stumped... I used to have a handle on life... but it broke. Cpt. Red Bull

    Cannot start the source application for the object.

    I've posted this in the Office forum too but to no avail so was hoping someone might be able to offer some insight here (tenuous link, the user is running Windows XP Pro) Here's the orignal post with a bit of an update wedged in... update....have now tried this guy with a new profile and on a...

    Excel 2k3 - cannot start source application for this object.

    Quick update on this... Have tried this user with a new profile and a completely new build machine and still the error persists...the problem just seems to follow him regardless of profile or computer logged on to. All the while it works for others and worked for him previously. Still stumped...

    Excel 2k3 - cannot start source application for this object.

    I have a user who has several spreadsheets with embedded jpegs. When trying to open the jpegs he gets the following message: I assumed this to be a file association issue at first but file association for jpeg files is fine. He has no issues opening the jpeg direct from source but not from...

    Microsoft Outlook 07 strange Contact issue

    You may have sorted this by now but going on what you are saying it would be worth using something like nk2edit http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/outlook_nk2_edit.html to remove the offending address/es...editing the NK2 file directly will more effective than deleting from within the address bar...at...

    Computer loops while configuring updates on startup

    Good that you got it fixed and it will no doubt thank you for the rebuild anyway [wink] I wonder if you picked up a driver as part of the updates that stuffed things up for you. I used to have a handle on life... but it broke. Cpt. Red Bull

    Computer loops while configuring updates on startup

    xit sounds like you had more than the standard issue there...possibly. I've seen this with several laptops and desktops running Vista and have fixed it in the following way... goomb. is right, system restore prior to the updates/issue and turn of Windows Updates, then manually check for updates...

    boot from usb drive and copy C:/ dir to txt file

    It's also possible that the OP was not there at the start of these machines lives and that he or she has in fact been left with the unenviable task of picking up on someone else's poorly documented work...or worse still, no documentation... I'm sure we've all been there [smile] I used to have...

    boot from usb drive and copy C:/ dir to txt file

    Sorry, didn't want to seem like I was suggesting they weren't legit but you can see what I'm suggesting could be misused as it were. Good luck, whatever you chose to do [smile] I used to have a handle on life... but it broke. Cpt. Red Bull

    Local Root Folder Won't Open - Re-sets Desktop

    I can see this ones been here a while with no answer so maybe this is better than nothing? The issue could be in relation to another piece of software that's installed. Your error message gets a direct mention. Read your way down the thread and see if anything jumps out at you. Apologies if it...

    Opening .PST and .OST Without Outlook?

    The above may well be good, not tried it either [smile] As for your OST...in the absence of Outlook you will need to convert it to a PST before you could try the above from BrBob Take a look here- http://www.windowsreference.com/ms-exchange-server/how-to-convert-ost-to-pst-format-for-outlook/ -...
