Photo Toolkit and Word & Excel 2000 Lockup

Running XP Pro SP2 here on a Dell laptop.

I have installed Photo Toolkit 1.7 and I love it. The only problem (and a major one) is that when the tool bar is loaded (either in the Image and Fax Viewer or the Toolbar in Explorer, neither Excel or Word will properly startup. The main windows of each open and sort of freeze - blank, Nada. If I then unload the Toolbars - POOF the applications will continue to load fine.

Of course when Photo Toolkit is unloaded, everything runs fine from the get go.

This is unfortunate. I have seen a couple of other references to issue with Office products and that a solution was (or has) been found... but it appears that I have the problem here.

Any advice? IF I can provide more info please let me know.

Oh, thank you for detailed report!
Yes, there is such a problem with Microsoft Office assistants and third party plugins. And we will try hard to eliminate these troubles from the next version.

I find a problem: If the name of a folder contain some character e.g. the folder name "ï¿½ï¿½Ä¿ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½-ï¿½Ô¾ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½", all the photos in this folder cannot be open by Xnview. But can be open by Windows Photo Viewer.

And if you change the photo name to an ordinary name, they can be open again by Xnview.

Why? Is it a bug?
