Hi Carole,

Try using the Windows Installer cleanup utility, see: Description of the
Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301

After you download and install it, it will appear in the Programs menu list.

Select it and you'll see a list of programs. Choose Microsoft Office 2000
and click Remove

Reboot your computer.

Then reinstall Office 2000 (make sure your anti virus software is not
running. To get a real clean install I would temporarily uninstall it and
then reinstall it after I finished installing the software).

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.
