Re: Error code 0x51F Office 2003 SP2
Thank You TaurArian. Method #1 worked for me. I opened Word 2003 clicked on
detect and repair. Then inserted Office 2003 CD when prompted. Waited for
about 4 mins. then when it was finished, I closed Word and clicked on the
yellow updates in the sys tray. This time I chose Express over custom and ALL
5 updates installed.
