Hello fellow members. I am in need of your invaluable help once again.

My computer is running Windows XP Pro Edition. My computer is a stand
alone home desktop computer, NOT connected to any network.

Occasionally there is an event warning logged in the Application Log of the
Event Viewer, found under the Administrative Tools in the Start Menu.

This is the information given for the Event Warning:
Source: WinMgmt
Category: None
Type: Warning
Event ID: 63
User: "user name"
Description:
A provider, OffProv11, has been registered in the WMI namespace,
Root\MSAPPS11, to use the LocalSystem account. This account is privileged
and the provider may cause a security violation if it does not correctly
impersonate user requests
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are always two Event messages logged at the same time every time.

I have Microsoft Office 2003 Student and Teachers Edition installed. I
assume that the provider, OffProv11, is from Office 2003.

MY QUESTIONS:

What is this error?
What is causing this error?
What is the "WMI namespace"?
How can I stop this error from happening again?
Is this a serious secruity threat?

Can someone please help me correct these errors. I am NOT a computer expert
so for me to understand your generous help and advice, please do not use
technical computer language and acronymes.

I am very grateful for any help and advice you generous people out there are
willing to give me!!! :-) :-)

THANK YOU,
