I am using office 2000 and have not had any problems
until lately -- whenever I try to open existing files
(either .doc or .xls) in their perspective apps - an
error msg pops up stating "cannot load fxfileop.dll" - I
have tried doing the repair and the reinstall and yet
nothing will open. I can open these very same files on
another computer. NE1 else seeing these errors just
recently? and if so, what was the fix for them?
 
I found the problem was with an old antivirus program
(Antivirus Expert Pro) that I had uninstalled -- but of
course it left some of it's garbage after the uninstall.
I had to go in the c:/program files/SOFTWIN and I changed
the folder name to 000SOFTWIN and the problem was solved.
So in my case the file named fxfileop.dll was associated
with the Antivirus Expert Pro. -- Thought I would let you
all know in case you or someone else runs into the same
problem.
