Stuck on Repair MDAC/MS Jet for 8 hours

(1/4) > >>

mingus:
Windows 10 1803, ran chkdsk and sfc, HDD checked fine.

running in safe mode.

stuck 8 hours on Repair MDAC/MS Jet ... Registering 132 files.

reason for running is a problem with Office 2003 - I did an Office repair.

is it okay to abort?

thanks

Boggin:
This has been reported before and it could be related to Office.

Is there still movement in the CPU usage ?

If the CPU isn't showing any fluctuation then you can stop it, but you could stop it anyway.

Did the Office repair work as Office 2003 has produced anomalous problems for some in Win 10 as it isn't compatible and no longer supported.

Subsequent Window updates could screw it at any time.

mingus:
there was 1-3% mostly. I aborted and now running Eset online scan. PC was infected with some sort of bitcoin trojan at least.

Office 2003 repair did finish.

I uninstalled Office 2003. I wish there was a way to buy Office 2007 or 2010?

thanks

Boggin:
A Google for where can I buy office 2007 or office 2010 from your location will produce a number of links.

I did that from my UK location and a number of sites came up but I wouldn't know if any were trustworthy.

MS just seem to be supplying Office 365 and 2016 - I don't know if 2016 is also on an annual lease as 365 is.

I'm still using MS Works that came preinstalled for the odd time I need to write a letter or produce some lined sheets.

EDITED because I had the wrong Office version for the Google search.

mingus:
yeah, buying office on ebay is tricky. we will see. maybe just go Office 2016.

I may have to do an in-place Win10 install over, see what happens after the long eset scan.

thanks again.
