As an IT trainer, I need several versions of Office on my computer. I
had Office xp and Office 2000 on my machine, and found that after a
while Office 2000 programs open and immediately close.
I know Office 2000 has a registration wizard, but it had never run when
I used Office 2000.
I uninstalled Office xp and Office 2000, and used the office 2000
eraser (MS kb252566) to completely remove all traces of Office 2000
from the machine (allegedly). I then re-installed Office 2000, which
still opened and immediately closed down.
I've tried following the steps in kb217623 and was able to start the
registration wizard and fill in registration details. A dialog box
appeared telling me I had registered successfully but - guess what -
Office 2000 still closes down after a few seconds.
There is clearly still something left on the system from previous
installs of office. Microsoft's eraser tool didn't do the job. Now it
looks like I might have to pay Microsoft £35 in order to be able to
use software which I have already paid to use.
Does anyone know of any way of sorting this out?
thanks
