Office Add-Ins
Word 2007 has been crashing on startup. I would like to get rid of some
office add-ins but each time I try I get this error message. "The connected state of Office Add-Ins registered in HKLM cannot be changed". Somehow, I've got three different PDF add-ins & I'd like to keep only the one from Adobe & dump the rest. (Is this the new search toolbar that's bundeled with everything?) Anyway, I'd appreciate any help with this. Thanks Steve |

(Is this the new search toolbar that's bundeled with everything?) Anyway, I'd appreciate any help with this. I have 2003 not 2007, so I have not tried the below myself. But it *should* work by analogy with 2003. Are you comfortable editing the Registry? If so, 1. Close Word. (Use Task Manager to check for any invisible Word processes left open.) 2. Open Regedit, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\ Word 3. Export that key, then delete the lines that reference the unwanted add-ins. (They are probably in a subkey ather than directly in the Word key.) 4. Close Regedit. 5. Open Word and see what happens. If it doesn't make things better, or if it makes things worse, double-click the file you exported in step 3, and it will return that part of your registry to the state before you did your edits. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com/ "If there's one thing I know, it's men.
