Can't open files after instaliing office 2000 SP-3

[jbm]

After installing SP-3 Office 2000 I get
Word - "The file (filename) is not available." Microsoft Word 2000
(9.0.6926 SP-3)
I can still open the .doc documents in WordPad.
Everytime I exit Word its propmting me to overright Normal.dot!
Excel - "Unable to read file." on start up - Microsoft Excel 2000 (9.0.6926
SP-3)
I was able to open these before.
I can't even open files that I created in Word after the update!

Same issue with Powerpoint, but I don't seem to have an issue with Access!
I can read in my old Excel files into Access as tables (at least the few I
tried)!

I am on Windows XP Media Center Edition 2002 SP-2
Help!

Hi, jbm. Disable the Office Plugin that comes with Symantec/Norton
AntiVirus. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office
programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more info.
