What could be the reason for Office 2000 Premium Programs
(Word, Excel etc.) not to run on Windows XP Professional
even if after the installation of Office 2000 a window pop
up confirmed the installation was completed.
Here is some info on my particular situation. The computer
( Dell laptop) on which I am trying to install Office 2000
was part of my wife severance package and was done in a
very upfront and legal way by her company (large
international cie). The agreement was that only the
Windows XP Professional OS was to be left on the laptop
with some of her personnal files.
I installed Office 2000 Premium (use to run great on my
old laptop with Win98-SE) on my wife laptop and at the end
of the process I was informed in a window pop that the
installation was completed. Also the files that were in a
different format before the installation can now be seen
with the Word and Excel regular icon. The problem is that
when I click directly on the Program in the Start menu or
directly on a file, nothing happens. Well not exactly, I
see the hourglass appear for a fraction of a second and
then it goes away. I never get an error message of any
kind.
I tried reinstalling and doing a repair, but its still the
same.
Considering that the configuration of the laptop was done
by the IT group of the company where my wife was working,
would there be something in that configuration or
something else that I should look at, other then the
Office installation.
Though I am a knowledgeble user of all of the programs in
Office 2000 (Word, Excel, Power Point etc...) I do not
feel I have the knowledge to get out of a situation if
ever I encounter a problem while upgrading to an other SP.
So for now an upgrade is not an option.
Does anyone have one or more suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
