Installing Office 2000 issues

I am trying to install Office 2000 SBE on a Vista laptop. Everything else works such as outlook, Excel and the office toolboar however Word will not work correctly. I have uninstalled and reininstalled it. I have tried to repair the installation to no avail. Word will open wit no toolbars or menu bars then I get a not responding and have to close out. Is there something that could possibly be missing from my machine? Oddly enough the reason for installing this version of Office is to have Word so that I can work from home. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
