Problem with Excel Help

WIN XO HE, XL 2002 SP3
Hi, every time I hit F1 within Excel, I am getting the following error
message:
"The window name "langrep" passed to HH_GET_WIN_TYPE has not been
specified."
Any idea how to fix that?
Tx,
S

I have no idea, but I'd start with:
Help|Detect and Repair

(or maybe reinstall excel/office)

(I have no idea what "WIN XO HE" is either--winXP Home???)

Hmmmm.

I'm not sure how much you'll have to reinstall from SP3. Any chance you still
have the download in your Temporary Internet Files (or whereever those patches
go when you download them???).
