Office 2000 Installation

[Daryl Keehn]

Hiya,
I had Office 2000 installed and I temporarily installed
Powerpoint XP from a friend's Office XP disk (he needed
to run a slideshow from my computer cause his can't be
hooked up to a projector and the slideshow had been made
in Powerpoint XP).
I uninstalled Office XP fine, but I started having
problems with Office 2000 (said something about Tahoma
missing) as well as MSN Messenger (it told me that it
could not sign me in until I downloaded an updated
version and when I did that the new version would not
install). When I tried first repairing then uninstalling
Office 2000, Windows Installer would freeze and the only
way to close it would be the Task Manager. I deleted the
Office folder and ran uninstall a couple of times (and
then closed it when it froze).
In desperation I did a repair install on the operating
system (XP Home) and when I booted it up from that Office
2000 was gone from Add/Remove Programs (but nothing else)
and MSN Messenger would now install the updated version
(first it undone changes made in an Office 2000 install
or something like that). The only problem now is that
Office will not install, with it freezing part-way
through and the only way to undo the changes made by the
installation is to restart the computer and then run a
repair on MSN Messenger (or any other program that uses
the Windows Installed).
My account of everything is a bit shaky for I am trying
to remember errors and such that occured up to a week ago
(sorry), but I would appreciate any help you could give
me on the matter.
Thanks,
Daryl Keehn.

Please help.

Put the first CD in the drive and follow the onscreen prompts. If there
is a different problem, you are going to have to describe it before
anybody will think of the answer to post.

I draw your attention to the second last paragraph of the
first post, about halfway through: "... The only problem
now is that Office will not install, with it freezing
part-way through ..."
Next time read the posts carefully BEFORE you reply and
this time I draw attention to your reply: "you are going
to have to describe it before anybody will think of the
answer to post". Does this mean that you did not think
about your reply? It sure looks like it to me.

PS: I recommend myself that u do a backup and format of
your drive. Tis a bit of an overkill, but it should fix
the problem and as long as you don't have a slow
computer, it shouldn't take much time.

The "new" message I replied to consisted of

A subject line containing

"Office 2000 Installation"

and the message

"Please help"


You are apparently referring to another message by the same author with
the same subject line, but actually containing relevant information.


Goodday

(and therefore there is no solution, eh)

I was referring to the post by the same author made the
previous day.
