Pardon me for introducing a subject that may have been addresse
already! I have recently installed MS Office 2000 on my XP Home.
I am getting a application error 1635 on some aspects of office, fo
example;
Trying to make MS Word by default email editor and having help file
available in MS outlook.
The error message comes up That there is an error with MS installe
1635 error message.
Can anyone direct me to an area that I can fix this issue with m
limited computer experience.
Thank you in advanc

I tried the trial version of Office 2003. When it expired in 30 days, I
removed it(uninstall). Since then I can't get Word 2000 or 2002 to open. I
get the error 1635.
Winword will open and I can access a .doc file, but I can't open a .doc
file, or edit a HTML document.
Does Microsoft have a hotfix for this?
Getting frustrated!
