Microsoft Office 2000 Pro 2

Can you give more detail about the error message? Does it give any error numbers or modules that are having the problem??  The exact message may be useful.

I did not receive any other error messages other then what I originally posted.  I did suceed in loading Access by running the program directly from the CD.  My computer is loading several other small "foot-print" programs which shouldn't cause these error messages.  By the way, thanks for your interest LadyH.

I guess I should have thought of these earlier...which OS and was this a clean install or an upgrade.&nbsp;&nbsp;I recieved some information earlier today about Office 2000 problems if the install was done over a beta version.&nbsp;&nbsp;The problem the article reported was office applications quitting as soon as the application was launched with no error message.&nbsp;&nbsp;Heck, I'll try to post the article and see if it is any help (if it isn't too big)&nbsp;&nbsp;The article is from TechRepublic:<br><br>Programs quit immediately <br>&nbsp;after starting <br><br>&nbsp;You're getting complaints from users about Office 2000<br>&nbsp;programs that quit immediately after they're started—with no<br>&nbsp;error message! What's the problem? <br><br>&nbsp;There can be a couple of reasons for this. To begin with, you<br>&nbsp;may have installed the release version of Office 2000 over the<br>&nbsp;beta version without uninstalling the beta version first. <br><br>&nbsp;The other possible cause is that the ProductID string value in<br>&nbsp;the registry is blank. To resolve this, follow these steps: <br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.In your Registry Editor, find the key <br><br>&nbsp;HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\<br>&nbsp;CurrentVersion\Uninstall <br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.Look for a subkey that's a 32-bit GUID (it should be<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;listed at the top of the list). If there are several, click on<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;each one and look at the value of the DisplayName key<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to find the one that corresponds to Office 2000.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.When you've found the right subkey, select the<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ProductID string and rename it something like &quot;OldID&quot;.<br><br>&nbsp;Now exit the Registry Editor and start any of the Office<br>&nbsp;programs. You should be presented with an Office 2000 User<br>&nbsp;Information dialog box, which will allow you to type in the<br>&nbsp;Product ID number from your CD. <br><br>&nbsp;Note: As always, use caution when editing the registry. Always<br>&nbsp;have a verified backup before you begin.

Thanks once again LadyH.&nbsp;&nbsp;My Office was loaded over win98.&nbsp;&nbsp;In the begining I had loaded 2000 over 97.&nbsp;&nbsp;When this didn't work, I uninstalled everything and started from sratch with still the same results.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm going to look into what you suggested.&nbsp;&nbsp;It makes sense.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks!
