MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / August 2006NEW Adobe? Toolbar Problem
OLD SAGA: Somehow I've gotten rid of the Adobe Toolbar from Adobe v6, in my Word XP on XP Home SP 2. I deleted the startup shortcut for Acrobat Assistant. I stopped the Acrobat Assistant from running in the startup list of msconfig. I downloaded and installed ZapAdobe.dot in the Startup folder and tried to run it. I deleted the Adobe PDFMaker *.dot files for Word & Excel. I went to the Adobe folder in the Program Files and renamed every file in the PDF Maker folder to end with *.old. I then cut that folder and placed it in another folder. I rebooted. NEW PROBLEM: Word XP now starts up without the Adobe Toolbar. BUT -- it starts up and closes with an error message: Microsoft Visual Basic Compile Error in Hidden Module: AutoExec QUESTIONS: #1--Is this compile error related to remove the Adobe Toolbar? #2--How do I get rid of the compile error? #3--How do I get rid of the error message? Awaiting your responses with baited breath, I remain, yours truly, The message is coming from an add-in or template in your Startup folder.

I still get the same error message when starting Word. BTW, I get the error message when starting Excel, as well. <*(((>< >The message is coming from an add-in or template in your Startup folder.

I've checked all the startup folders in Documents and Settings. I do not have an Office\Startup folder, however. I have Word XP & Excel 2000, both stand-alone products. I don't know what a COM ad-in is, or where they are. <*(((>< >Have you checked both the Word Startup folder and the Office Startup folder >as well as COM add-ins?

I think that may have finally done the trick. Even though I had deleted the PDFMaket.dot from the Program Files/~/OFFICE/STARTUP folder, it came back! I deleted it again. Word started up without any error messages. However, I continue to get error messages when starting Excel 2000. I also checked for Com Ad-Ins: The only one is a MS Tool for East European Languages. I don't know what that is, but I do use Polish and Greek on occasion. <*(((>< >See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CheckIfAddinsInstalled.htm > [quoted text clipped - 66 lines] >> >> <*(((>< Awaiting your responses with baited breath, I remain, yours truly, <*(((>< |
