Cannot uninstall Office 2000
I have a computer that was given to me by an employer. I
used this computer in the past and it had Win 98 and Office 97. I had loaded Office 2000 without uninstalling 97 programs. Worked OK. I had problems in the past with Office and couldn't find original cds so obtained new set from Microsoft (Office 2000 SR-1, Legit copies) I was able to fix the problems (virus) before the disks arrived so I never loaded on this machine. I recently upgraded this machine to Win XP. Upon upgrading, I was prompted to place Office cds in drive. Everything installed ok. When I logged on to another user I was again asked to load Office discs. This time prompts asked if I wanted to overload old 97 programs. I did. I noticed that this version of install has my company name (owner of '97 files) while other has my name. Copy installed over '97 version never worked correctly always prompting to reenter discs to upgrade Outlook, etc. I was having overall problems after XP installation so I thought slow and erratic performance might be related to different 2 Office setups. I unistalled "my version" and attemnpted to uninstall version over "work version". I got this message - The feature you are trying to use is on a CD. Insert MS Office 200 disk. The system would never accept the new Office discs as a match. How can I clean Office from my computer to allow reinstall? I'm new to XP so is it normal having to install the Office software for every user? Thanks for the Help, Rick |
