When I start LionClock, my computers asks me to insert Microsoft Office CD or to install Microsoft Access. What is going on?

SYMPTOMS

When you start LionClock, the computers asks to insert Microsoft Office CD or to install Microsoft Access.

CAUSE

LionClock doesn't use or depend upon Microsoft Office or Access. However, this message may still be triggered on some computers if the following ODBC registry keys are missing:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC


Note
These keys may have been removed if you removed a Corel product from your computer. These products include any program in the Corel WordPerfect Office Suite.
