Error: Microsoft Word has not been installed for the current user

[tedly]

Can not access any MS Office applications (eg., Word, PowerPoint, Excel).
Get the screen for application overlayed with error box stating "Microsoft
Word, (or PowerPoint or Excel) has not been installed for the current user.
Please run set up to install the application." Have tried Office XP CD to
repair the installation, have used Remove/Install Software in Control Panel
to remove Office XP from computer and then reloaded from CD, and have used
Software Installer to remove Office including old loading pathways and
reinstalled. Same message. Before glitch I recently loaded Office SP-3,
Security Downloads & BIOS update which said all were successfully done. At
least Word application worked for a couple of weeks after updates and BIOS
change before this issue seemingly started spontaneously. System is an IBM
A30, 1.0 MHZ, 512 RAM. Any ideas how to fix this issue?

This was the response to another question, but it applies here. I am toast
because I don't have the disks to reinstall, but hopefully these fixes will
help you guys. Good Luck!
