Problems with Office 2000 Programs

[Jessie A.]

Hi! I've an irritating problem with office 2000 that I
hope you can help me solve.

I'm using windows 2000, and everytime I open an office
2000 program like word, windows installer pops up. Also,
in my account, whenever I try opening a file from anywhere
except when I open word or excel first and open the file
from there directly, an error message will pop up saying
the link is broken and a second message will pop up saying
the .ink file is missing. Other accounts on my computer do
not eperience these problems.
