After updating Office to SP3, the file associations in Microsoft Document
Imaging are broken and yes, this is expected behavior. No big deal to
restore file associations. BUT. . . click on File and MDI crashes. Can't
save, print, or anything else on the File menu. Anyone have a fix for this?
Our users are on Windows XP in a highly secured and locked down environment.
Thanks.

Ok folks. Here's the fix from some helpful people out there showing personal
initiative. Do note that this will revert these files to their earlier
versions supposedly making them 'vulnerable', but you may, like others of us
decide, that it's more preferrable to have the damn thing work properly in
the first! place!
Fixing File Menu screwup in MDI:
NB: For just the File Menu, you may only need to replace the MSPVIEW.EXE file
SP3 changed a number of files in the MODI folder to April 2007 versions.
From the original Office XP 2003 CD's, the files are located in a Cab folders:
All files are dated 2003 except for one noted below dated 2004. Replace all
the 2007 files with these:
Extract the following files from the CAB folders on the Office CD
MO561405.CAB:
MDIINK.DLL
MDIVWCTL.DLL
MSPCORE.DLL
MSPGIMME.DLL
MSPVIEW.EXE
M4561414.CAB:
MSPFILT.DLL
MSPSCAN.EXE
Replace the updated version of the files in:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MODI\11.0\
The following may, or may not, be necessary. In my case, the above fix was
more than enough to restore the File Menu, but the original creator of this
fix says that he replaced all these as well. Your call.
(NB: Depending on when you got it, the CD probably does *not* have the 2004
version of the MSPLCRES.DLL file)
Some of these files are in the CAB folders listed above, others maybe
elsewhere. You’ll just to have open each CAB folder on the CD as/if
necessary:
Path: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MODI\11.0\Drivers
MDIGRAPH.DLL
MDIMON.DLL
MDIPPR.DLL
MDIUI.DLL
Path: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MODI\11.0\1033
MSPFLTRS.DLL
MSPLCRES.DLL 2004
Just a final note; although I know the MS people will not be happy to read
this: The creator of this fix also completely stopped downloading anymore of
MS's 'updates' after this, just as I did about a year ago after the nonsense
with the DST stuff (both for OS's as well as Office). To date, I have yet to
be infected or hacked by anything. There are other ways of protecting oneself
from that stuff rather than having to enduring hours of wasted time due to
MS's incompetence or indifference! Just a suggestion.
