I have that “L2561412.CAB” file located in my “MSOCache” folder, which is one that is put on the machine after an install, at least as long as you’ve chosen the option to leave them on your computer.

My experience is that the MSOCache folder is the same for all Office 2003 installs, so it could be copied from elsewhere.  (Note that there is an “MSOCache Relocator” utility that can be run in the event Office gets ‘lost’ trying to find it.)

If all else fails, PM me and I’ll zip an MSOCache folder up and send it to you.

Thanks, Captain Al. I did a search of the C:/ drive and couldn’t find MSOcache on it. I also don’t see how to do a pm. I am willing to give it another try, as I have Office 2003 on 2 other machines with Win10 (3 computer license). Otherwise, I’ll just go the LibreOffice route. I’m retired and don’t need to collaborate with anyone anymore <g> Let me know how to pm, if you’re still willing to help out.

Thanks again,

Ron

I think a couple answers may have hit on it. My son and DIL were here last evening and both had phones connected to the guest network. I cleared the network map, but they didn’t disappear for a few minutes. When I looked later, they were gone. Logic tells me it shouldn’t be (can’t be?) a hacked connection with my distance to any houses or roads, but with all of the things going on today, it spooked me a little to see 2 unidentified devices connected. I’ll monitor it for now. Thanks again to all who responded.

The guest network is isolated from my network. I just wondered what would be trying to connect to it.

I’ll try that. Thanks.

The printer and phones show up in the “My Network” section. These show up in “Guest”. It is password protected, but not a long password.
