    Missing Microsoft office files
    « on: May 30, 2010, 08:05:56 PM »
    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?

            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.

            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.

              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.

              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.
