Word and Excel keep installing

P

Peter Lorenzen

I recently upgraded my Toshiba Satellite 4300 laptop from
Windows 2000 to XP Pro, as a clean install, and
reinstalled Office 2000. Ever since then every time I
start Word or Excel, the Windows installer starts,
gathers information and finally starts windows or Excel.
This doesn't happen to Outlook. I tried uninstall and
reinstall and repair. The knowledge base suggested a
problem if I had a roaming profile, but I have a local
profile. (I don't know if it's relevant, but I can't seem
to create a docked hardware profile even theough the
computer is usually docked.) There's only noe user, I'm
it and I'm administrator.

Any suggestions? This is not Earth-shattering, but is an
annoyance after spending $200 for something that's
supposed to work (blew my IP in 2000 and decided to give
up and get XP).
