Sounds like it didn't uninstall properly. Give this a shot. For Windows 95,98 or ME, go to http://download.microsoft.com/download/office2000pro/util22/1/W9X/EN-US/msicu.exe or for Windows XP, 2000 or NT4, go to http://download.microsoft.com/download/office2000pro/util20/1/NT4/EN-US/msicuu.exe and save and run the utility. It will clean up the settings that were not properly removed. Then try reinstalling. Hope this helps :)
