System Restore Tool Issues

CED

I've got XP HE vs2002 SP2. After recently restoring the OS to an earlier date
I have encountered these problems:
1) windows installer keeps popping up on Outlook & Internet Explorer
periodically
2) Word & Excel won't open because the shortcut patches requested aren't
working

Any ideas?

Thanks!

"This patch package could not be opened. Verify that the patch package exists
and that you can access it, or contact the appropriate vendor to verify that
this is a valid Windows Installation patch package."

1) Yes, this is the identical message that is given by Detect & Repair which
I had run.

2) XP HE vs2002 SP2, as noted earlier. Are there additional ID's that I've
missed?

Thanks!

There is no such thing as Office XP Home Edition, so I'm guessing
that "XP HE vs2002 SP2" refers to Windows XP Home Edition with
Service Pack 2. That does not tell me what version of Office you
have. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=295823 "You receive
the 'This patch package could not be opened' error message in an
Office program".
