Hi,
Yes you can compare/contrast and even import the registry keys from the
working to the non-working. However, I would advise that you save yourself
the headache and just try to get a clean install as follows (assumption is
not a problem with the OS install) -- it all takes no more than 30 minutes:
(take it that running a Detect/Repair did NOT fix the issue)
1- Download Eraser2k for CD 1 and CD2, see:
OFF2000: Utility to Completely Remove Remaining Office CD1 Files
and Registry Entries
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;239938
OFF2000: Utility to Completely Remove Remaining Office CD2 Files
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;247674
2- Uninstall completely Microsoft Office 2000 for CD1 and CD2
3- Run the above Eraser utilities
4- Delete the folder "c:\Program files\Microsoft Office"
5- Reboot your computer
6- Backup the following the registry keys then delete them
Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Office
Hkey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Office
7- Reboot the computer
8- If you can uninstall your Anti Virus software temporarily (of course
while you are not connected to internet) then do so, else disable it
9- Reinstall Microsoft Office
Should it still not work then you've confirmed that you have an issue with
the OS (i.e., performing a 2nd install of the OS worked for you)
I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.

| Came in one morning and found that the following message appeared only on
| running Access 2000, then the program shuts down, all other office 2000
| applications work fine.
|
| "Required registry information is necessary and this application cannot
run.
| Please run setup to correct this problem"
|
| I have trauled accross the deserts of the internet and tried some of the
| registry fixes and have not been able to solve this problem.
| A spark generated in my brain, not too bright!, and I have installed a
dual
| boot of win2000, and then installed the office2K . It all works fine in
the
| fresh install.
| Compared the registry settings in uninstaller and found that their was no
| product ID in the working registry, no reg company or reg owner sections
in
| working registry.
|
| I am running out o fhair to pull out, any help appreciated , thank you.
