Missing Microsoft office files

[debugger]

Hello. Every time when i open my internet explorer browser, new tab on explorer, boot my computer, open any drives I get an error first saying this:



and then when i click 'ok' another error pops up and quickly disappears. It says ''Please wait while windows configures Microsoft Groove GUI''. This error comes up every time I boot my PC.

Some days ago I ran a software called 'jv16' which mistakenly deleted some windows system and office files. How to get rid of this error popping up every time?

Thanks

Try doing a full uninstall of microsoft office.  And then reninstall it.  If this doesnt work try visitng the microsoft forums.

Hi,


 have seen other references to this error and a suggestion that you may
want to completely uninstall and re-install Office, as the installer may be
hung up. One poster had to completely remove Office manually, using these
instructions:

I don't want to uninstall my office. Is there no other way out to repair it by just putting in the missing files? Cannot I repair this error without uninstalling and reinstalling microsoft office?

[nonewhatsoever]

you have snipping tool on xp?

jv16 is most likely the culprit here.

Re-install that component of Office that the error message refers to.

If jv16 removed Office documents and/or system files you may have to do a Repair Install.

jv16 is most likely the culprit here.

Agreed. You can try restoring the files from jv16's backup if you chose to backup the files before deleting them.

Isn't jv16 called Power Tools or something ? ?

I do remember it's not a tool for the faint of heart though....

Yes, jv16 Power Tools. It's a fairly powerful utility but it does offer full backup/restore protection for deleted files.

That's if you're smart enough to turn it on before you let it make any changes...

Well, yeah - there is that . Actually it will not let you delete anything without first asking if you want to create a backup. I used to be a beta tester for them.

[patio]

Gotcha...Thanx for the info.

[debugger]

Sighs!! unfortunately I was not smart enough to create a backup for the file cleaner of jv16. I merely thought this tool to be as same as Ccleaner. This error seems to me related to Microsoft Groove GUI missing files. Can you give a tutorial regarding how to reinstall/repair a single office component i.e Microsoft Groove? Thanks.

[patio]

Found This...

[Allan]

Or you can just do a repair of MS Office. Insert the Office disc and you'll be asked if you want to repair the existing installation.

[patio]

I don't believe the Groove component is included on the MSOffice CD...

[Allan]

It is. Whether you want it or not.

[patio]

Gotcha....Thanx.

Everything i read said it was a DLoad.

I guess it's only in some of the higher end suites. It has always been included in the versions I get from Action Pack (Office Professional & Ultimate). As with most Office apps, you can always buy the standalone version if you like.

okay I did a full reinstall of Microsoft office and got the missing files placed again. Thanks for all your support.

It's included on the discs for Ultimate and Enterprise only. All other versions shouldn't have it, including Professional and Professional Plus.
