This is driving me nuts, & I don't know where to look from here.

Basically I get everything setup & running properly, Office XP apps installed via administrative install point + transform, everything functions fine. After sysprep & ghost Excel gives this error every time you open it & a similar error every time you close (Compile error in hidden module DistMon). Works fine other than that, & all other Office apps work fine. I have seen this in both a Windows 2000 image and a Windows XP image. The Office admin install point has been re-created.

Any suggestions?

I have tried MS's suggestions (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=307410&product=xl2002) with no luck.

[EDIT]Of course after I post it I would think of the answer, POS little app called PDF995 that people want to use because they're too cheap to buy Acrobat causes the same error. Imagine that.[/EDIT]
