Microsoft Project 2007 Forum

Hi All,

Although the program installs successfully, due to a problem I don't know, the project guide does not open (View > Turn On Project Guide). I uploaded screens of what happens when you try to turn on. Any ideas to solve?

Thx

I do not use the "Project Guide" in MS Project 2007, so I am not sure what is the best way to solve this problem.

I would recommend installing Internet Explorer into the same bottle. The file is an HTML file, and the dialog box complains about missing JScript.dll files. Perhaps Internet Explorer will provide the missing files.

Let us know if this helps.

I checked my own installation of MS Project 2007, and I found that I already had Internet Explorer installed in the bottle. Clicking on the "Project Guide" menu option caused MS Project 2007 to crash.

I suspect that this feature simply does not work. If anyone has a workaround, please let us know.

It is always questionable when Windows applications automatically load an IE browser as in Europe Windows does NOT ship with Internet Explorer, thereby making it very likely that people there are using other browsers. It always makes me wonder when companies only bother to test their website with one browser.. Pure laziness or pure stupidity, I don't know.

Anyways, more to my point, IE isn't guaranteed to install or run. I do believe I have gotten Firefox to install. I do now know if Crossover would "make it the default browser". Microsoft software usually is pretty decent about using the default browser [sometimes]. You might try that route if installing IE fails.

Otherwise, an update of your efforts heretofore might be in order.

HTH
