Links from PowerPoint to Logos 4

Thanks for the idea, Richard.

I tried it, but it didn't work. I set the UAC to "Never Notify," which forced me to reboot. I opened up my PPT, opened up Logos 4, and tested it.

I still get the Security Popup.

Mark,

Got a new computer, setting it up again.

I think I edited the registry correctly this time, but can't seem to get rid of the HyperLinkWarning message.

The Microsoft support page (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925757) has now been edited to include Office 2010, but my Registry does not have the same directory structure.

The Microsoft support page lists HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\CommonHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common

My Registry is a little different. See image attached.

I appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks.

I tried exactly what you did, but I'm still getting the warning popup.

I closed Microsoft Office.

I went into the Registry Editor, where the DisableHyperlinkWarning key already existed. I deleted the key, then exited Registry Editor. I opened Registry Editor again, and added the key.

Then I rebooted.

I checked the Registry Editor to make certain that the key was there with the value of 1.

Then I opened PowerPoint, ran the slide show, clicked on the link, and the warning popped up.

Why is this not working the way it should?

Dominick,

I've done EVERYTHING in the Microsoft Support document. I used Method 2, since I'm using Windows 7, and Method 1 pertains to Windows XP users.

I'll include screen images. I'm stumped. I'm still getting the annoying popup message.

I even went into the "Trust Center Settings" in PowerPoint 2010, to add as "Trusted Locations" the files in my Logos 4 Library:

Finally,one more graphic.  This is one of the PowerPoint slides with a link to Logos. I captured the screen after  clicking on a Scripture Reference link, showing the annoying popup:

I'm completely stumped. Several months back (on a computer I got last spring), I named the Registry Key "HyperlinkWarning" instead of "DisableHyperlinkWarning" Once I corrected that, everything worked.

The only difference between that computer and this one is that one is running Windows 7 Professional and this one is running Windows 7 Home Premium.

Hopefully, someone can help me solve this sometime tomorrow. My OT class has a test tomorrow, but I will be presenting on Wednesday morning, and I don't want to see that ugly warning pop up!

Thanks,

David

Thanks for suggestions Keep Smiling. I did not know whether or not I had 32-bit or 64-bit Office installed. This machine (HP Pavilion DM1) is 64-Bit Windows 7 Home Premium. It had the Office Trial pre-installed. I just added a previously purchased license to activate it. I never even considered which version it was. As it turns out, I have to 32-bit version of Office installed, which is recommended per the Microsoft Blog entry you referenced.

I made the suggestion change in the Office Trust Center Privacy Options (unchecking the box for "Allow sending files . . ." The added FileValidation key under Security (in the Registry) was not added automatically. I added it manually, then added the DisableHyperlinkWarning key to that as well. I'm still getting the annoying popup.

Here is a screen image with column widened, to show spelling of DisableHyperlinkWarning;

Did you mean for me to delete all the added keys in registry?

Last time I did this (reference this same thread), it was so easy!

In an hour or so, I will be in my office, and will be able to compare setting on this computer with the one that is in my office. With Labor Day yesterday (though I was working from home a bit) I did not go into work.  [:)]

Thanks again for the suggestions.

Blessings!

I had deleted all the added keys, and started over. Still no pay dirt. My registry appears to be just like the one on my other machine--all to no avail.

I now have only one "Security" entry. 

Do my entries look like yours, Keep Smiling? I'm particularly interested in what you have for the "File Validation."

I'm wondering if I should uninstall Microsoft Office, and re-install from the disc I received when I purchased the licenses.

I'm at a total loss.

[:O]

Thanks!

Let me tell you what I did. I wondered if the key was not doing what it should have because I used the pre-installed version of Office. When I got home tonight, I decided to uninstall that, and reinstall Office from the DVD. That did not work. Everything was the same.

I just tried what you suggested above. I added a reboot of the system between #5 and #6, just for good measure.

It works! No more annoying pop up security messages.

Thanks for hanging with me. I've got to ask you, though, did you just come up with that last procedure by intuition, or did you find something online that made you come up with it?

I really appreciate your help!

God bless, and keep smiling for Jesus!

David
