Can't reinstall Office 2000 in XP

D

Recently I have had problems with Word from Office 2000 on my XP.

Unable to save a document due to "insufficient memory" I first tried
increasing my virtual memory but that wasn't the problem. Then I found
that the problem was with riched20.dll, and renaming it to .old, I
tried reinstalling it from the office disk, but Word still wouldn't
work. Then I tried replacing normal.dot, but that didn't fix the
problem.

Then I went after the nimda virus. Norton antivirus didn't detect it,
but I downloaded the repair program anyway (for both NimdaA and NimdaE)
and it found no virus.

Then I figure I would just reinstall Office. I uninstalled it, then
tried to reinstall. Well, you guessed it, now it won't install. I get
the Error 2894 message, saying that Riched20.dll is no present on the
computer. So I tried extracting it to c: from the cd-rom on e:, but it
didn't help. I had to pick a location to install it to, and I tried
the root directory, the program files, and the system files, but Office
still won't install, giving me the Error 2894 message.

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why you should NOT multipost:
• Net traffic is reduced: Only one copy of your article needs to
flow to the thousands of Usenet servers. And the thousands of people
who read both groups have to download only one copy, not two.
• Your time is saved: You can look in one place to see all replies.
• Other people's time is saved: When you multipost, people in one
group can't see answers in the other group, which results in lots of
duplication.
• Multiposting annoys lots of people. Some will tell you about it;
some will keep silent but put you in their kill files, which means you
lose the benefit of their answers to your questions, forever.
