Too many Office versions on hard disk

N

Noel S Pamfree

I am not sure how but on my pc I have both the Standard and Professional
versions of Office XP.

I guess I must have installed the professional version assuming it would
upgrade the standard version when I should have uninstalled it.

Is it safe to uninstall the Standard version now in 'Add or Remove' programs
or will this effect the patches I have downloaded?

Thanks,

Noel

Hi Noel,

Back up your files first then uninstall the Office XP Standard
edition. Restart the PC then repair/reinstall the Office XP
Professional Edition (have your CDs available) to clear things
up.

The updates installed should, generally, remain intact when
doing the repair reinstall and a trip back to
http://officeupdate.com afterwards can help with any needed
additional ones.
