I have tried to uninstall Office but It requires the cd which I don't have. I
have tried to delete files but that hasn't worked. My old company installed
but they have the disk. Please HELP!

The following procedure to manually uninstall Office 2000 was posted by a
Microsoft person some time ago in one of the Office newsgroups:

1. Download and install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility from
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=290301

2. Run this utility and check if Office 2000(or other Office version) is
listed.

3. Select Office Products and then click Remove.

4. Click Start, and then click Run.

5. In the "Open" (without the quotation marks) box, type "regedit" (without
the quotation marks), and then press ENTER.

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious
problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry
Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

6. Backup the entire registry and then rename or delete the following
registry keys if present:
(Note: '#' represents any number {0-9, A-F})
