Examine the Office 2000 CD and make sure it is absolutely "pristine clean"
with no scratches, fingerprints or smudges. Use a mild non-ammonia based
household cleaning solution and a soft cloth to clean it.

Thanks for your help

I have found a scratch on disk which could be causing problem.

Sorry to have caused you any trouble i will just need to get new version.

before shelling out for new Office copy, try one of the many disk repair
sets avaliable at ------Mart or Office------- or where ever you buy things.
Even some of the video rental stores offer disk repair as a service. Not a
big expense if it doesn't work, and a big savings if it does.
