Mystery re PhotoDraw & Works 2000

T

Terry Pinnell

I have just been trying to reinstall Microsoft PhotoDraw (eventually
unsuccessfully). I used Disk 3 from my Office 2000 Premium CD set.
Just before it completed the installation, I got this:
"Microsoft PhotooDraw Application has encountered a problem and needs
to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

On clicking OK, I then got this strange message:
"Microsoft Works 2000
Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Works 2000"

Yet I hadn't asked to install that. Nor is it on Microsoft Office disk
3. So that soon came to an end, and I clicked Cancel. But it kept
popping back. Eventually had to use Ctrl-Alt-Del.

Anyone here know likely cause please? What possible connection can
there be between these two programs?

Well, that's what effectively happened. I had no options. But it
wasn't properly installed. Do you know of any connection?
