Weird MS Office Problem with Win XP?

[Joe]

Just loaded MS Office 2000 on WIN XP Pro PC and and every
time I try to open one of the applications like Word or
Excel it has to "prepare to install" and then "Configure"
before the program will open. Has anyone ever see that
before?

every single time? It should do it once per application per user .... but
every time seems a bit odd...

I have the same problem and was looking for a solution
It happens every time an Access database is opened. I first says that it "Cannot find C:\whatever\you\clicked\on.mdb or one of its components could not be found". On top of that it Shows an installation dialogue, it runs through the msiscript "preparing to install Microsoft Office 2000 Premium" after it finishes with the "installation" the database will show up

I am running windows 200
Microsoft Office 2000 Premiu
HP E-pc Vectra S/1
20 Gig H

I had it all working before I installed Office XP. I installed Office XP but wasn't compatible with some of my other stuff. I uninstalled Offce XP I have uninstalled office completely, shut down and restarted with a new install from the CD. It happens the same way.

Maybe you need to go into settings somewhere and select "run all from my computer" Perhaps some files say run from CD or are set up not to run
I can't remember where this setting is as I roam too much and get lost
