Office 2000 and Vista Home Premium
Vista Home premium with Office 2000 professional installed.
Sometime over the last 3 weeks, Word stopped functioning after working fine for almost a year. Tried running several repairs, uninstalling and reinstalling, deleted Normal.do and all add-ins. Nothing other than opening word with a/ option would get word open Finally in frustration uninstalled all files and programs associated with office, 2000, 2003 and 2007 (trial version thta was never installed). Ran a registry cleaner and deleted all registry entries found. Ran the setup agin and word would finally load and open files found through files open-vs. 9.0.2720. However, i still have a number of issues 1. Whenever I try to open Word, Vista's User Control pops up and says Winword.exe's publisher cannot be identified and do I trust it? How do I get User Control to recognize Microsoft as the publisher and stop the pop-up warnings? 2. If I try to lauch a Word document, I get the error message that Word cannot locate the file. How do I fix this? Many articles on fixing this issue in office 2003-2007, none on 2000 3. I am also unable to install updates such as SR-1 and therefore my SP3 update I read KB261934 which says to install SR-1 I need Windows installer 2, but that is for Win 95 and 98 systems. What do I need to install SR-1 so I can install SP3 and any other updates that came along after SP3? 4. Finally, the Office assistant didn't load and I get a pop-up that asks if I want to try a fix-tried several times with no joy. Since I could care less if a little animated character's help, how do I stop this pop-up or get the assistant to install properly. Btw, all othe Office 2000 Pro programs work fine, although I haven't tried to update them yet One other point-Last week I tried to open a file and it tried to open with Word 2007. When I saw a screen that said the system was loading a Hybrid version of Word 2007, I finally realized what was happening and stopped that install and that's when I first recognizedthe problems with Word I have tried to uninstall all files associated with the trial version of Office 2007 that came with the laptop and so far it keeps coming back when I boot up again which may be because I can't unistall a small program called Microsoft Office 2007 System Thanks |

Now that you ran a Registry Cleaner ,I have no idea what to tell you. I suggest that you do a clean reformat of your system and then install Office again clean. I have or we do not have any idea what you removed from the registry. Never but never use any Registry Cleaning Tool. They are all snake oil remedies. Finally Office 2000 is not supported anymore and there is no updates for it. Change to another version of Office like Office 2007. And why did you have Office 2000 ,2003 and the Trial version of Office 2007 on your computer -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

I was trying everything I could think of and the CrapCleaner Registry cleaner was last on my list-After I ran it, I reversed the removal so hopefully all was reversed OK Actually, I finally got 2000 to work if I open the Word program 1st and then open files or create new ones. 2007 came installed for trial use and I never did or don't remember ever actually used it I use 2003 at work so possibly the 2003 program was a program that allowed backword compatabilty. I used a newer laptop that had 2007 on it so when I downloaded my files from work something may have been loaded. What was strange was the 2000 Word pgm worked perfectly up until several weeks ago. I uninstalled all updates going back a month or so ago hoping that would restore the word app, but no joy. Guess I should just be happy that word works at all. One of these days, I'll save all the files on this laptop and do a restore back to factory settings and then do as you say.
