Office 2000 Question

[Tiziano]

For some unknown reason, I have been unable to run Office Update in a
long while. The progress bar reaches the 40% mark and then it
"crashes". I have tried every repair trick suggested by Microsoft but
nothing seems to work, so I would like to completely uninstall Office
2000 and then re-install it again.

Questions:
1) Is there a free software that will completely erase every trace of
Microsoft Office 2000 from the registry and anywhere else things might
still lurk once I uninstall the suite?
2) Is there a way to preserve all my Office 2000 settings, particularly
for Outlook? (including such settings as SMTP/POP mail and NNTP news
server addresses)

Thanks.

Uninstalling is unlikely to help.
Without knowing what 'every repair trick' means any advice would be a stab
in the dark

Here is what I tried to solve the problem:
* Microsoft article #304498 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304498);
* Used Microsoft Windows Install Clean Up tool and then re-installed
Office 2000. (I tried this one many times...)

I don't know what else to try...
