I just realized Outlook was closing by itself also sometimes. Also when I type, the keyboard for 1, 2, 3, 4 shows the symbols above instead of the numbers sometimes. This doesn't go away with a new computer and a new keyboard.

Do you mean that what you see is the same as if you had pressed the Shift key? In that case, it sounds as if it might be a keyboard issue after all.

Diagnostic Results

None of the Microsoft Office Diagnostics found any problems.

More resources


Setup Diagnostic — File corruption or altered file

The Setup Diagnostic repaired problems with your installation of Microsoft Office. Your Microsoft Office programs should now function correctly.

If your Microsoft Office programs continue to crash, the source of the problem may be a hardware failure or hardware configuration problem. Review the results of the Disk and Memory Diagnostics to determine if a hardware failure is affecting your installation of the 2007 Office release.

More resources


Setup Diagnostic — Missing media

The Setup Diagnostic was not completed because a valid source was not found. Either the local installation source is missing, or the original source that was used to install Microsoft Office is not available to the repair process. You may need to provide the original source to allow this diagnostic to run successfully. Valid sources for the 2007 Office release include the following:

  • Your 2007 Office release installation CD
  • An installation disk or repair CD provided by the vendor of your computer
  • A connection to a network installation of the 2007 Office release

After you obtain access to a valid source, run Office Diagnostics again.

Disk Diagnostic — Failure of hard disk predicted

The Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART) feature of your hard disk has found errors that may indicate that the hard disk is likely to fail. SMART is a feature that some disk drive manufacturers provide to give users advance notice of potential hard disk failure. Instability in your Microsoft Office programs may be the result of these hard disk drive errors.

 Note   This result can indicate a severe problem, but some hard disks may not accurately report their results.

We recommend that you do the following:

  1. Back up your important data immediately.
  2. Check the results of other diagnostics, and follow the instructions for resolving any issues that the other diagnostics have reported. After you resolve those issues, run Microsoft Office Diagnostics again to see if this Disk Diagnostic issue is resolved.
  3. If you continue to get this result, contact someone, such as the vendor of your computer or hard disk.

  • Microsoft Office Diagnostics has found blocked-out (failed) sectors on your hard disk.
  • Microsoft Office has had trouble accessing files from the hard disk; it needs these files to function properly.

We recommend that you do the following:

  1. Check the results of other diagnostics, and follow the instructions for resolving any issues that the diagnostics have reported. After you resolve those issues, run Microsoft Office Diagnostics again to see if this Disk Diagnostic issue is resolved.
  2. If you continue to get this result, contact someone, such as the vendor of your computer or hard disk.
