Loose your Groove

Did I mention how well my laptop has been running since the Vista reinstallation?� Oh yeah, except I still haven�t tackled iTunes again�🙂

Here�s one that�s caught me out before .. and, as I didn�t reinstall the applications (hubby did) .. it snuck back in again.� Small business owners in Australia & New Zealand may be familiar with the MYOB suite of accounting/bookkeeping software.� It literally stands for Mind Your Own Business.� Well, Accounting Plus v17.0.0 (and some earlier versions) don�t play well with Microsoft Office 2007.� In particular, when you try to display a payroll advice, MYOB crashes with a �stopped working� error.� Very frustrating when you are trying to process the salary payments.� Even more frustrating when it�s your own salary you are trying to pay.

The solution? Uninstall the Microsoft Office Groove component (Control Panel > Programs and Features > highlight Office and click Change > add/remove features > click Microsoft Office Groove and select Not Available > click Continue and follow your nose).� This will require a reboot.

Problem experienced with Office Enterprise 2007 on Vista, but may not be isolated to this particular configuration.

So, just when I thought I�d got my Groove back, I had to uninstall it�🙂
