Office 2000 on XP Prof????

[Jonathan T]

Ive made a clean install of XP prof and upgraded with all
the SP. But when i try to install Office 2000 i get the
strange error:
"This program could not be started since VAADVA.d32.d
[square] could not be found."
Office 2000 worked fine on Win98...

Grateful for help. Tnx

Open Regedit from Start/Run, choose My Computer in the left window pane,
then from the Edit menu, choose Find and enter the vaadva in the "Find
what:" field. Leave Keys, Values, and Data checked, and make sure that
"Match whole string only" remains unchecked. If it finds the word, make note
of the Registry key it's in, and then continue searching the Registry. Post
the results here to this thread.

Tnx for the answer. I searched the registry but didnt
find anything. I even searched only for "VAA" but didnt
get any hit.

Do you have anything more descriptive in the Application or System event
logs from the failed installations? Are you able to install other
applications on this computer? Follow the steps in Knowledge Base article
281770 How to Perform Clean-Boot Troubleshooting for Windows 2000
(http://support.microsoft.com/?id=281770) to clean-boot the system, and then
try to install Office again.

Hi again

Tnx for your answer. This actually helped me to find the
problem. I was not able to install anything from the HP
CD-writer 9900i - i was able to browse but not install
anything. According to HP this model is to be compatible
with XP but I dont think so. So I bought a NEC 1300 DVD
burner and now everything works just fine!
Tnx for your help
