MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / December 2004Office Assistant Problem
A message keeps popping up that says "There are no Office Assistant character files present on the system. Please run setup in maintenance mode and install at least one character." But when I put my CD in and run setup in maintenance mode, the only options are "Update", and running that doesn't fix the problem. What do I need to do?"  SignatureThat'sallfornow! What version of PowerPoint?

Terry, How do you run in Maintenance mode....where do I go to do this? Thanks > A message keeps popping up that says "There are no Office Assistant character files present on the system.

But when I put my CD in and run setup in maintenance mode, the only options are "Update", and running that doesn't fix the problem. What do I need to do?" I asked Terry what version of PowerPoint was in use. I'll ask you the same - - what version of PowerPoint are you using?

Surely this is a windows problem ..not powerpoint. Why not go to control panel/add-remove programs/ microsoft office/ and uninstall office assisitant in the 'custom install' section... Unless, of course, you want office assistant on your system Regards PJ -- to reply take out noads > Terry, > How do you run in Maintenance mode....where do I go to do this? > > Thanks > > > A message keeps popping up that says "There are no Office Assistant character files present on the system.

This isn't happening just in Powerpoint, I run on a SBS2003 and all 5 computers are effected. They all run Outlook 2003 however run different windows i.e Windows 2000, Windows 1998 and Window XP. When ever I open a word or excel document it brings up an error that there is no office assistant present, I have tryed to install them off the CD this did work temp. however once I shut down the computers at night it was back to bringing up the error. From all others that I have spoken with this seems to be a problem once the new version of outlook is installed is this a linked problem and is there a way to fix it? I really don't care if there is an office assistante or not it's more the error and "flashing" between programs because of it that is the problem. THanks in advance > A message keeps popping up that says "There are no Office Assistant character files present on the system.

Lauren, It is *a problem* if you have different versions installed "There are no Office Assistant character files present" error message when you start an Office XP program http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839132/en-us Cordialmente SignatureEnric Ma?as [MS MVP PowerPoint] > This isn't happening just in Powerpoint, I run on a SBS2003 and all 5 > computers are effected.
