Thanks, Mary. I have the Installer CleanUp Utility, however, it only
partially lists programs I have loaded and does not list Microsoft Office.
This could be because I've uninstalled nearly all of it, except the two
previously mentioned files. Therefore, I have not been able to use it to
delete these two files; the MORPH9.DLL and the PPINTL.DLL files. I have even
tried to start my computer in safe mode at the command prompt but the files
'cannot be found'. Other posts I've read suggest that these may be trojans
or viruses. What should I try next?

Full-file version update may request Office source files

They aren't trojans.
MORPH9.dll is a standard Publisher .dll. It was refreshed in the second service
pack.

What are you seeing on the menu of the cleanup utility?
Scroll down on this page, does your menu look similar?

Have you tried to re-install in safe mode?

Yep. Looks just like that, except it doesn't show Microsoft Office Small
Business Edition . . .

Also, I'm not getting a request for the source files. I will try installing
in safe mode and will post results. Thanks for your help!

I now have evidence that my IP address is being used by other users. Could
either of these .dll files have been modified in some way to hijack my laptop?
MORPH9.DLL
PPINTL.DLL

OK. I had bad info about the whole IP address issue.
I tried to install in safe mode and got the following message: 'System admin
has set poicies to prevent this installation'. I don't recall setting any
policies . . .

Scott, Do you have the service pack 2 for Windows? Do you have a restore point
to go back to before all your issues became apparent?

Mary,
Thank you again for your help. I don't know if I have the service pack 2 so
I am now downloading it. Only 1hr 10 min to go! I do not have a restore
point that I am aware of.

I can do that. What am I looking to accomplish? Will this undo everything
I've done the last two weeks? Does it uninstall anything I've installed?
Does restoring MS Office bring it back to the working condition it was at
prior to my uninstallation attempt?
Thanks again, Mary.
Scott

Read the restore instructions. What you have downloaded in the past two weeks
will be gone. Any files you have created will be okay. If you want to save your
downloads put them on a disk.
Hypothetically your computer should be back to before you started the uninstall.
System restore is completely reversible.
Why did you uninstall Norton? Just disabling the Office plug-in would have
sufficed.
