A friend had a problem with their computer and reinstalled windows 98 - the computer appeared to be working propoerly, but in the process, it looks like Office 2000 was wiped out. I tried reinstlaling it and when I restarted as part of the installprocess, I got a bunch of error messages that componenets were missing/etc, and when win 98 finally gets going, I get a fatal error in explorer and nothing is active and I can do nothing. Even rebooting in safe mode hangs the machine - where do I even start to get thigns back up and running?

Ok. then the place to start is getting win98 back on track. The best way would be to completely wipe the drive and start from scratch. This would give you a clean starting point but you would lose all information already on the drive (unless you can backup all of the current data files you wanted to keep). If this isn't an option then try re-installing win98 over the top of itself again. Once this is done, uninstall Office 2000 completely. Reboot and make sure things are running correctly. After that, re-install Office 2000.
