| 1) The file is 'WINGDNG2.TTF', not TIF (the latter is a graphics
| format).
|
| 2) The CD is dirty or damaged. Try cleaning it. Follow the

| Please be aware that, if Office 2000 came with your system then
| Microsoft will not be able to assist as they do not, cannot and,
| indeed, will not support OEM supplied software. All support,
| including replacement keys and media, is the responsibility of the
